Picture source, this siteRecently, our Hawaii Catholic moms' biggest concern has been keeping our marriages holy and strong. As you know, the family is always under attack by the devil. What better way to destroy a family but by starting on the foundation of the family, the husband and wife.
I offer the following prayer for all who are suffering attacks on their marriage, especially one family in particular who was brought to my attention by Easter:
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.Prayer Source: Catholic Online
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.

oh, that is so good, I'm going to print it and share it with the Catholic women's bible study I am in. Often we discuss how we can best pray for our spouses... this is perfect!
This is a wonderful prayer for any marriage. Thank you so much for sharing it!
Tomorrow is my 14th anniversary! How fitting that now I have this prayer! Thank you so much Esther, it is beautiful!
Glad you ladies liked it. I thought it was a good prayer. Amy, Happy Anniversary!
