Prayer for a Happy Married Life

Dear Lord,

You well know the sacrifices,
problems and hopes which come to all
who embrace married life.
Give us the grace and love for one another
and unite our hearts
in unselfish harmony so that,
mindful of the needs and wishes of each other,
we can live a devoted life
serving you by our faithful care for the family
which you have given us.
Grant us patience that we may help each other,
to serve and love you here on earth.
May we never violate
our pledge of love and fidelity.
May we accomplish your will in all things
so that we may deserve
to enjoy together in heaven
the happiness of eternity with you.
Amen.
