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.
