Bible Verses for Wedding Anniversaries
Heartfelt KJV scriptures to celebrate wedding anniversaries, renew vows, and honor lasting love.
A wedding anniversary is more than a date on the calendar — it is a milestone of faithfulness, endurance, and God's sustaining grace. Each year of marriage represents seasons of joy and challenge, growth and renewal. The King James Bible speaks beautifully to the themes of lasting love, faithfulness, and divine partnership that make marriage a reflection of God's covenant with His people. These scriptures are perfect for anniversary cards, renewal of vows ceremonies, anniversary toasts, and personal reflection on the years God has blessed your union.
