A Creed For Marriage

The Edgar Cayce archive at A.R.E. headquarters in Virginia Beach contains a wealth of published and unpublished correspondence and documents on the "Sleeping Prophet." I compare it to a Library of Congress for the metaphysical world. Among the documents that Nancy and I found in the archive is a document titled Creed For Marriage. As there is no author listed, we can't say whether or not this came through Cayce when he was in trance, or simply something that was dear to him. I find it quite inspiring and endeavor to read it over every few months to remind me what having a partner is all about. I'm sharing it here as others may feel the same.

                                                      Creed For Marriage

I believe that the ability to love is a giftand a privilege, and that it deserves cultivationin every way.
I Believe that I love you, and because I loveyou, I am responsible for you, the specifichuman being who happens to Love me, andwho best understands and answers my needs.I believe that with the help of God, I mayunderstand and answer yours, and may surround your days with serenity.
I Believe that He will help me to act positivelyin my relations with you and all other humans,so that my love will heal and help, not hurt ordestroy; and that because of Him, all obstaclescan be overcome, and all rough paths madesmooth.
I Pray that He will help me to remove all tracesof selfishness and conceit, and those fears whichprevent right motivation, right action, and harmony in my life.  I pray that, as I become ready, He will replace them with the Light of wisdom.
May our home always be in each others’ hearts,and not just a place of sticks and stones. May its hearth, in peace and freedom, always support a welcome fire; where may be fostered the repeatedred-dedication of our belief in the necessity topreserve and extend the good in all human liveswhich become tangent to our own.
