Loving God, each new generation of humans is granted freedom to choose eternal life with You as children of God. You made men and women to complement each other, and to share in Your Creation by propagation of their kind from generation to generation.

You created men and women as reciprocally attractive, finding beauty and treasure in the presumed goodness of the cherished other. In their mutual attraction and vulnerability, men and women are led to dedicate themselves to each other. You bless this intimacy of interaction through Your Sacrament of Matrimony, with its safeguards to soul and body in the security of continuing union.

This Sacrament was instituted to ensure that men and women serve Your will in unselfish ministry to each other’s spiritual, mental, emotional needs—so that each is a sacrament of Your love to the other. The welfare of children born of this sacramental union is assured if lived out in love. Love is the basis of our relation to You and to each other. **

Our God, please bless married couples with love, faith, hope, forgiveness, and perseverance. Please guard them and their family relationships against selfishness and injustice, against cruelty and abuse, against misunderstanding and insensitivity. Shield them against impurity and promiscuity.

Please flood families with healing grace when unemployment, and financial pressures threaten to erode family life. Support them where illness or disability threatens to overwhelm their strength and relationships. Encourage and support them when the actions of each other or their children disrupt family peace and unity.

Have mercy on anyone trapped in marriages that lack tenderness and affection. Comfort those who have bitter and critical spouses. Cherish those whose partners do their duty without love. Have pity on those who are controlled by the other’s will or selfish inclinations. Give support to those whose spouses are faithless, and bring forgiveness and constancy into their union.

Please give grace and assistance to those whose marriage relationships are endangered. Grant them perseverance in mutual compassion and communication. Help them to deal wisely with their problems and to allow sufficient relaxation and humour to restore their ability to cope with pressure and anxiety. Please restore marital relationship with love that overcomes all.

Our God please be merciful towards the needs and anxieties of husbands, wives and children in married and family life. Give restoration and courage to afflicted and aggrieved partners and children, and patiently heal them and their relationships through the Spirit. Let love mould them in faith, wisdom and maturity.

In their suffering and in their joys let them grow stronger by trusting in Your grace. In daily struggle and mutual service, let them become more Christlike. Support them through easy times and difficult, with the joy, and peace of true Christian living, so that they witness Your gospel to Church and society.

Please forgive all sins against matrimony. Halt the erosion of respect owed to this Sacrament.
 
Glory be to The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be
World without end
Amen

Heavenly Father, in Your Son’s name we ask the grace to live our married lives in unity, compassion, mutual understanding and respect, in full obedience to divine love and will, following the example of the Holy Family.
Mother Mary, and St Joseph, please pray for us.
 
Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.

Amen.

Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
is now,
and ever shall be,
world without end.

Holy God please help people to be open-eyed and sensible in choosing a marriage partner.

Lord I ask that the marriage covenant between all men and women are founded in unconditional love as a imitation of our Lord Jesus Christ. May couples be merciful to each other as You are merciful towards us. May all have the insight to how the enemy hates marriage and tries to attack and destroy them. May couples not give into his evil temptations and keep You at the center of all marriage covenants. I pray for difficult marriages every where that by consciously centering their relationships in You they will become stronger and closer that they have ever been in the past. That troubles and difficult marriages every where will be reconciled and the enemy defeated.
In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Dear God, please be compassionate to those whose marriages are in danger of failing. Sometimes one or both partners have tried to maintain their marriage but there are marriages where grave fault has destroyed or damaged relationship.

Regardless of causes for marriage breakdown, partners and children suffer confusion, guilt, grief, and even destitution. Please protect children of damaged or broken marriages from manipulation and harmful stress. Help them to feel secure and loved.

Please bless, comfort, and restore those whose marriages have collapsed. Ensure the assistance and generosity of ministers of the Church, of society and of fellow Christians towards them. Please grant new hope and possibility to those whose marriages fail. Help them to live in dignity and grace.

Dear God please comfort those who have lost or been separated from the person with whom they hoped to share their life in happy marriage. In their loss and heartbreak, please comfort them, and where possible please help couples to find restoration and new growth in their marriage relationship
 
Praying for your intentions….

Lord Jesus, You have said, “Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.” With confidence in Your loving heart which offers rest to weary souls, we come to You in this time of special need. In Your unfailing love, read the prayer that is written on our hearts, and grant the grace that we ask of You, in accordance with Your holy will. In Your name we pray. Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, and sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother, to thee I come, before thee I stand sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate! Despise not my petitions, but, in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.
