Prayer for Husbands and Wives
Lord, inspire those men and women who bear the titles Husband and Wife. Help them to look to you, to themselves, and to one another, to rediscover the fullness and mystery they once felt in their union.
- Let them be honest enough to ask:
- Where have we been together and where are we going?
- Let them be brave enough to question:
- How have we failed?
- Let each be follhardy enough to say:
- For me, we come first.
Help them, together, to believe how fragile, yet powerful; how weak, yet how strong; how impossible, yet attainable their love can be.
Give Husband and Wife the courage to be, for each other, a person rather than a title. Amen.
