Marriage Prayers - wma download
a special selection of Prayers chosen to help strengthen friendships, relationships & marriages – designed to lighten up on difficult issues

+ In the Name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit,
Amen.

Lord Jesus Christ,
by your presence at the wedding feast,
You blessed the state of holy matrimony;
and by a special token of your love and favor
You have raised marriage to the dignity of a sacrament.

Grant now that I, together with my wife,
may be ever faithful to the marriage vows we have pledged. May all our living bring us closer together
in mutual love and in love for You.
May no act of ours be ever unworthy in your sight.

May we never forget the ends
for which matrimony has been instituted.
And especially may we never,
through selfishness, defile ourselves and our love
by unlawful acts of any sort that may displease You.

Teach us to trust in You,
to receive the little children You send us,
and offer them back to receive your love.
Grant us the spiritual and temporal means
to rear these children properly.
And thus may we deserve your favors,
which we seek in our marriage.

May every expression of our love for one another
be united to our love for You.
When it is necessary to exercise restraint or self control,
then above all may our love and respect for one another
and our love for You show its true depth.

May we then be thoughtful and kind to each other
in countless lawful ways.
So give us the grace to be strong---
strong in our love for one another,
strong in our integrity,
strong in respect for our marriage vows,
strong in our love for You.
Amen.

Let us pray:
May almighty God, with His word of blessing,
unite your hearts in the never-ending bond of pure love. May your children bring you happiness,
and may your generous love for them
be returned to you many times over.

May the peace of Christ live always
in your hearts and in your home.
May you have true friends to stand by you,
both in joy and in sorrow.
May you be ready and willing to help and comfort
all who come to you in need.
And may the blessings promised to the
compassionate be yours in abundance.

May you find happiness and satisfaction in your work.
May daily problems never cause you undue anxiety,
nor the desire for earthly possessions
dominate your lives.
But may your heart's first desire
be always for the good things waiting
for you in the life of heaven.

May the Lord bless you
with many happy years together,
so that you may enjoy
the rewards of a good life.
And after you have served Him loyally
in His kingdom on earth,
may He welcome you
to His eternal kingdom in heaven.

And may Almighty God bless you.
Amen.

Prayer of Spouses for Each Other

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.

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
grow and mature with each passing day.

Bring us both ever closer to You
through our love for each other.

Let us grow to perfection.
Amen.

Prayer for a Spouse

Heavenly Father up above,
please protect the spouse I love.
Keep them ever safe and sound,
especially when I am not around.
Help them to know and help them to see,
that I love them, and help them to love me.

And then, O Lord, help me to be the kind of spouse
they want me to be.
Keep us now, keep us forever,
keep us one and always together.
Grant this, O Lord, to my content
and thank You, Lord, for the spouse you sent.
Amen.

A Husband's Prayer

Dear Lord, thank You for giving me,
in holy matrimony, my beloved wife, .

Grant me the grace to be a good husband.
May I always be kind and gentle,
loving and considerate.
Help me to lead a good life
that will be an inspiration and help to her.

May we always live together in Your favour,
ever doing Your will on earth,
and so merit and enjoy, together with You,
the bliss of eternal happiness.
Amen.

A Wife's Prayer

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.

Walking Together With God

Lord, the life of today is frantic and delirious.
We often find ourselves lost in the crowd,
conditioned by whatever surrounds us,
unable to stop and reflect.

Make us rediscover and live the value
of walking toward You,
laden and compromised
with all the reality of today’s world;
the consciousness of
feeling constantly called by name, by You;
the grace of responding freely,
of taking Your Word as light to all our steps.
Amen.

Prayer for My Spouse's Employment

God, our Father,
I turn to you seeking your divine help and guidance
as my spouse searches for suitable employment.

Help them with your wisdom
and guide their footsteps along the right path,
and inspire them to find the proper things
to say and do in this quest.

They wish to use the gifts and talents
you have given them,
but they need the opportunity to do so
with gainful employment.

Do not abandon us, dear Father, in this search,
but rather grant me this favor I seek
so that my spouse and I may return to you
with praise and thanksgiving
for your gracious assistance.

Grant this through Christ, our Lord.
Amen.

Prayer To My Spouse's Guardian Angel

Guardian Angel of my beloved spouse,
watch over them with every care;
make their way easy and their labours fruitful;
dry their tears, if they weep;
raise their courage, if they weaken;
restore their hope, if they lose heart,
restore their health, if they be ill,
restore truth, if they err,
restore repentence, if they fall.
sanctify their joys.
Amen.

+ In the Name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit,
Amen.

Couples and families especially benefit by having a set of Prayer CDs with a daily Prayer CD featuring an Act of Contrition, The Angelus, the day's Rosary, Divine Mercy, Litany and other daily prayers. So many working couples play the Rosary on the way to work, and the Divine Mercy on the way home. So many say using Prayer CDs really enhances their performance at work, and has helped to develop a daily and nightly Prayer life in their homes. Prayer CDs are a wonderful time-out tool when couples are irritating one another. It takes the heat out of marital upsets. Some couples who have never said a Rosary together in their lives now go to bed much earlier and listen to a Rosary every night.
As St John Chrysostom reminds us: “It is possible to offer fervent prayer even while walking in public or strolling alone, or seated in your shop... while buying or selling... or even while cooking.” (Catholic Catechism)
