Worldwide Marriage Encounter of Tampa Bay 

World Marriage Day February 10, 2008
Sponsored by Worldwide Marriage Encounter

World Marriage Day honors husband and wife as head of the family, the basic unit of society.  It salutes the beauty of their faithfulness, sacrifice and joy in daily married life.  The Theme for WMD is to "Love One Another".  This phrase is the commandment given us by Jesus in John 15:12.  It speaks to us in a simple but challenging way of how our Father wished us to live.  Loving one another is a daily decision - simple, but challenging.

                              Prayer for World Marriage Day

Father, as we celebrate World Marriage Day, we thank you for your tremendous gift of the Sacrament of Marriage.  Help us to witness to its glory by a life of growing intimacy.  Teach us the beauty of forgiveness so we may become more and more One in Heart, Mind and Body.  Strengthen our dialogue and help us become living signs of your love.  Make us grow more in love with the church so we may renew the Body of Christ.  Make us a sign of unity in the name of Jesus, our lord and Brother.  Amen.
