Prayer for Spouses

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.
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 one's 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.
