Apache Wedding Blessing
When I was getting ready for my wedding ceremony, in my search for different ideas I came across the words used in an Apache wedding ceremony.
I thought it was so beautiful, but I also thought it summarizes everything we work on in Couples Therapy.
Respect. Tenderness. Kindness. Responsibility. Connection. Focus on what is right.
I feel inspired and grateful, and I just wanted to share.
Treat yourselves and each other with respect, and remind yourselves often of what brought you together.
Give the highest priority to the tenderness, gentleness, and kindness that your connection deserves.
When frustration, difficulties, and fear assail your relationship, as they threaten all relationships at one time or another, remember to focus on what is right between you, not only the part which seems wrong. In this way, you can ride out the storms when clouds hide the face of the sun in your lives—remembering that even if you lose sight of it for a moment, the sun is still there.
And if each of you takes responsibility for the quality of your life together, it will be marked by abundance and delight.
