He (Jesus) said in reply, "Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female' and said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, no human being must separate." Matthew 19:4-6

Prayer
of Spouses for Each Other Lord Jesus, grant that I and my spouse 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
self. May the love that brought us together grow and 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.
