Marriage Bible Verse Cards, 52 Printable KJV Scripture Cards for Couples

Fifty-two marriage verse cards give a couple one complete King James verse to read together each week of the year. Every card is a small landscape card, 3.5 by 2 inches, with a theme label at the top, the verse centered in classic Cormorant type and the reference in small capitals, all on a warm ivory paper texture. The verses fall under eight themes for married life: love, unity, patience, forgiveness, faithfulness, prayer, service and hope.

One verse a week for a year of marriage

A weekly card is a small habit that is easy to keep. Draw the next card on Sunday evening or over breakfast, read the verse aloud, then read the surrounding passage in your Bible. Talk about one practical step the verse suggests for the week ahead, and pray together. The cards carry no dates and no names, so a couple can start in any week of the year and go through them in order or pick a theme for a hard season. The included guide explains this pattern along with printing and cutting.

Eight themes for a shared life

The love cards include Charity suffereth long, and is kind from 1 Corinthians 13:4, Let all your things be done with charity from 1 Corinthians 16:14, We love him, because he first loved us from 1 John 4:19 and Many waters cannot quench love from the Song of Solomon. Unity includes Matthew 19:6 on what God hath joined together. Forgiveness includes Ephesians 4:32, be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted. Hope includes Isaiah 40:31 on mounting up with wings as eagles. Patience, faithfulness, prayer and service fill out the rest of the year. Each card shows its theme in small capitals above the verse, so you can sort the deck by topic.

Business-card size, with optional backs

Each cut card measures 3.5 x 2 inches, or 88.9 x 50.8 millimeters, in landscape format, and the artwork is 1050 x 600 pixels at 300 DPI. The fronts come on seven sheets with eight cards per full sheet, as a US Letter PDF and an A4 PDF, and the last sheet holds four cards. Two matching PDFs supply optional backs in one simple design. A fifth PDF has the print guide and all 52 cards as individual pages. Print at 100 percent actual size on matte white cardstock, without fit-to-page or crop-to-fill, and cut at the short marks outside each card. For backs, test one sheet first with long-edge duplex flipping and check the alignment against a light.

For newlyweds, anniversaries and couples' devotions

The deck makes a thoughtful addition to a wedding gift, tucked in with a card, and it suits newlyweds setting up their first habits together. For an anniversary it gives a couple a fresh way to spend a few minutes a week, and for couples who want to start praying together, a set verse is an easier beginning than a blank page. Because the cards match the size of standard business cards, a business card box, a small tin or a card holder on the kitchen counter keeps them in order. The files are for personal use and personal gifts, so you may print a deck for yourselves and another to give away. Reselling or sharing the files is not allowed.

What is included

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to print the backs?

No. The backs are optional and share one simple design. Single-sided cards work well on their own, since the theme, the verse and the reference are all on the front. Print the backs if you want the deck to look finished from both sides, for example when it is part of a gift.

How do I line up the backs with the fronts?

Print one front sheet, then the matching back sheet with long-edge duplex flipping, and hold the result against a window or lamp to check that the marks line up. Printers differ in registration and in how they feed paper manually, so this test sheet tells you which setting works before you print all seven.

What size are the cards?

Each card is 3.5 x 2 inches, or 88.9 x 50.8 millimeters, in landscape format, the same size as a standard business card. That means business card boxes, sleeves and holders fit them. The artwork is 1050 x 600 pixels at 300 DPI, so the small serif text stays sharp.

How should a couple use the cards each week?

Read the card together, then read the full passage around the verse in your Bible. Agree on one practical step for the week, such as a kind word or an apology, and pray together. The included guide describes this routine, and it takes only a few minutes.

Are all 52 verses different?

Yes. There are 52 different cards, each with one complete King James verse, its reference and a small theme label. Some passages appear in two parts, such as 1 Corinthians 13:4 and 13:7 on separate cards, but no card repeats another. The same 52 designs are supplied for both paper sizes.
