Prayer for Engaged Couples
Father, in my heart love has come
alive for a person you made, and
who you too know and love. I
want to thank you for this gift. It
fills me with profound joy. It
makes me like you, who are love
itself, and brings me to understand
the value of the life you have given
me. Help me not to squander the
riches you have stored in my heart.
Teach me that love is a gift that
must not be suffocated by
selfishness; that love is pure and
strong and must not be soiled or
corrupted; that love is fruitful and
should, beginning even now, open
up a new life for myself and the
person who has chosen me.
Loving Father, I pray for this
person who is here beside me, and
who has placed in me complete
trust for the future. I pray for this
person who will walk along the
path of life with me; help us to be
worthy of one another and to be an
encouragement and example to one
another. Help us to prepare for
marriage, for its grandeur and for
its responsibilities, so that the love
which fills us body and spirit may
rule our lives forevermore. Amen
