Father, for it is from you that every family in heaven and on earth is named.

Bless our marriage and awaken in us a deeper appreciation for this Sacrament of your love.

Enkindle in us anew, freshness of our love, that our lifelong covenant may never grow cold.

May we grow in forgiveness, patience, perseverance, compassion, and selflessness.

For you, O Lord, love us in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, whether we are rich or poor. May we recall the true inner meaning of our exclusive loving embrace.

May we cooperate with your life-giving designs for our marriage and be open to new life.

May we be a convincing sign to the world of your faithful love lived out in the indissoluble bond of true Sacramental Marriage.

Amen.
