Prayer: For Husbands

Lord Jesus, bless and preserve my cherished husband, whom you have given to me; let his life be long and blessed, comfortable and holy, successful and free. Let me ever be a blessing and comfort to him, a sharer in all his sorrows, a consolation in all accidents and trials of life; make me forever lovable in his eyes and forever dear to him; unite his heart to mine in fondest love and holiness, and mine to him in all sweetness, charity and submission. Keep me from all ungentleness; make me humble and obedient, that we may delight in each other according to your blessed Word. May both of us rejoice in You, having our portion in the love and service of God. Forever. Amen.

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.
