Prayer of Spouses

O Lord, holy Father,

omnipotent and eternal God,

we give you thanks

and we bless your holy name.

You created man and woman

in your image and blessed their union,

so that each would be for the other a help and support.

Remember us today.

Protect us and grant that our love

may be in the image of the devotion

and love of Christ for his Church.

Grant us a long and fruitful life together,

in joy and in peace,

so that, through your Son

and in the Holy Spirit,

our hearts may always rise to you

in praise and goods works.

Amen.
