Marriage Prayers

   Lord Jesus. grant that my spouse and I may have a true and understanding love for each other. Grant that we may both be filled with faith and trust. Give us the grace to live with each other in peace and harmony. May we always bear with one another's weaknesses and grow from each other's strengths. Help us to forgive one another's failings, and grant us patience, kindness, cheerfulness, and the spirit of placing the well-being of one another ahead of one's self.  May the love that brought us together mature with each passing year. Bring us both ever closer to you through our love for each other. Let our love grow to perfection. Amen


   Gracious Lord, you have blessed me with my dear husband. I thank you and ask you to keep him in your constant care. Help him in his trials, comfort him in his worries. Grant me the grace to be a loving partner, to share his sorrows and joys. Keep me faithful to him with love and respect. And dear Lord, grant that our life together on earth will lead us to heaven, there to enjoy your holy company forever. Amen.
