How to start a Blessed Wedding Night?

Perfect guide to start a Blessed Wedding night

Holy Bible narrates story of Tobias and his wife in the "Book of Tobit" (Book of Tobias)**. In chapter 8 , it describes the marriage night of Tobias and his new wife Sarah. Before he gets into bed with his wife, he invites her to join him in prayer. The prayer is given below, and I believe it is one of those things every couple could pray on their wedding night, and may be should, just to drive the evil spirits away :).


Tobias began by saying:
"Blessed are you, O God of our ancestors,
and blessed is your name in all generations for ever.
Let the heavens and the whole creation bless you for ever.
You made Adam, and for him you made his wife Eve as a helper and support.
From the two of them the human race has sprung.
You said, It is not good that the man should be alone; let us make a helper for him like himself.
I now am taking this kinswoman of mine,
not because of lust, but with sincerity.
Grant that she and I may find mercy
and that we may grow old together."
And they both said, "Amen, Amen."




** The Book of Tobit is believed to have been written early in the second century B.C, it is a book of scripture that is part of the Catholic and Orthodox biblical canon, pronounced canonical by the Council of Carthage of 397 and confirmed for Roman Catholics by the Council of Trent. It appears in the Old Testament of Catholic Bibles. It is considered as Apocrypha / Deuterocanonical scripture. The Book of Tobit or Tobias tells the story of Tobit, a righteous man and his family exiled to living in Nineveh shortly after the fall of the Northern Kingdom of Israel in 722 B.C. Here God is sending the Archangel Raphael to aid Tobit the father, Tobias the Son, and Sara.
