Prayer for Engaged Couples
O Lord, we thank you for this wonderful gift of our love
which You have generously granted us
and which
allows us to build a true communion of persons between us
--- provided we remain ever open to You,
the Source of all love.
Help
us to continue to love each other
and accept each other unconditionally,
as we get to know each other better.
Make us generous in
giving and humble in receiving.
Enable us to communicate to one another
all our joys, sufferings, and desires
and all our hopes, sorrows,
and difficulties.
Give us the power of Your Love
that we may forget self and live for each other
so that we may have truly one spirit,
in preparation for the time when
You will send us children to add to our union and love.
Amen.

Jesus Christ,
we give you thanks for the love we share,
and for bringing us together.
LORD teach
us to prepare for our wedding
by an increase of love towards each other,
by an increase of generosity to others and
by the prayers
we make
for a long and happy life together.
BLESS all those who are helping us
to prepare for our wedding.
Keep us good humored
and joyful
as the day draws near.
MARY our Mother and Saint Joseph
keep us always in love with each other.
Teach us to live
as you did and
to love Christ with great devotion
all the days of our life together.
Amen.
