Holy Spirit, we invite you into our marriage, come and take control. We welcome you into our lives and even the lives of our future children. Help us to always put You first above everything else.

Help us to be able to solve issues and plan our lives ahead of us wisely. Give us a deeper understanding of what marriage truly entails so that we can do things to please you.

Prayer for Love, Peace and Joy
Heavenly father, help us to live in love, peace and with happiness. Your son Jesus Christ loved us so much that He died on the cross to set us free. Grant that love may prove mightier than all the weaknesses and trials through which we may sometimes pass. Make our home a peaceful small heaven where You dwell so that anyone who meets us or comes to our home would immediately feel your presence and be happy to be part of our lives. Give us happiness and let us live with joy to love and serve you.

Prayer for communication and honesty
Father Lord, help us to grow closer to each other and communicate better. Whenever we are not contented or happy show us to be open and truthful as in John 17:17. Help us to do and say everything with absolute honesty and be completely transparent with each other. Help us to always come clean whenever we mess up. Help us to also be truthful about our past which may sometimes affect our present. Help us to also dream about the future together. Help us to always dwell in your word, Colossians 3:9-10 and be honest at all times with one another.
Amen.
Prayer for forgiveness and restoration
God you are a forgiving Lord, whenever we wrong You and come back to You in repentance, you are always merciful. Give us the same heart to forgive each other whenever we feel hurt and offended. Help us not to bring our past failures whenever we wrong each other but to show mercy and compassion like You do. Help us to be an example to the people around us and our future children of what forgiveness is. Whenever we have petty fights and misunderstandings help us to solve them and be able to restore back our marriage. Help us to be faithful to one another and live as you have wanted us to live. To have forgiving hearts and to always mend our relationship whenever we feel like giving up.
Amen
Prayer to maintain our marriage vows
Lord, we want to thank you for the gift of our lives. We pray that you will grant us good health at all times. Help us to maintain our marriage vows to one another and most especially to you. During our marriage we promised to love, honor, cherish each other, in bad times and good times, when sick and when healthy, we promised to always be there for one another. Please help us to stick to them.
Help us to be united and not allow anything or anyone to come between us. Give us a strong bond of unity just like You are united in the Holy Trinity. Help us to be one spirit and mind and set aside our pride and selfishness so that we can serve each other and You. Show us where we need to improve in order to make our marriage stronger.
We come against the spirit of division and confusion, that attacks from the evil one will not stand in our marriage. We pray that we will not have conflicts that would divide us. Help us to put each other’s happiness ahead of our own so that we won’t engage in bad vices that would upset our partner. Help us to always seek refuge in you whenever we experience any problem in our new journey. Help us not to grow bored of one another but to always be more intimate. May we live many years together in joy and peace.
Lord Jesus, let us not take these vows for granted, but instead fulfill them. We pray that Your Holy Mother, Mary, present throughout Your life, may be present in our marriage.
Amen.
