I'm no help cause we used Romans 12: 9-18 (New Living Translation) and I liked it but I will tell you that it was very well received and our pastor mentioned before he read it that it was the first wedding he'd done where the couple had chosen it.
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:
If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
Eccl 4:9-12 New International Version

i am looking for some help locating egalitarian bible readings that would fit our interfaith-but-not really-religious and already-legally-married ceremony.
the scoop: we've been legally married for almost a year for various reasons, but never had a chance to celebrate with family and friends so we are actually doing a full-on ceremony led by his grandfather. since i am jewish and he is from a christian background, we are trying to incorporate some cultural and religious traditions from both of our sides. my sister will be reading the jewish "seven blessings" and we've asked my husband's brother to do some biblical readings as well.
one of the readings he suggested (Ephesians 5:22-33, the first few lines are at the bottom of this email) we are not comfortable with since this is not really the way that the relationship between us works. i do like that it focuses on devotion between the spouses, but we are looking for something more egalitarian... his brother is a preacher with the church of christ and incredibly devout but may not share our more socially progressive beliefs, so we'd like to have some specific suggestions to offer him.
i looked at a few past posts here on weddingbee and so far our favorite is
Romans 12:9-18 (Don't just pretend to love others...) as general advice for living a good life, but am hoping for a couple more suggestions, perhaps something even a bit longer.
[i already looked at Ruth and Corinthians]
thanks!!!
22Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body.
