Prayer of Spouses for Each Other

O Lord Jesus Christ our God, who through Your holy apostle Paul have taught us to bear one another's burdens and so fulfil Your holy Law: mercifully grant me to bear the burdens of my husband/wife in love. Bless our marriage, sending down upon us perfect and peaceful love, preserving us in oneness of mind and in steadfast faith. Pour out Your love upon my husband/wife (name), that he/she may be filled with joy and may please You in all things. Defend us from quarrels and temptations and preserve us in peace and harmony that together we may forever glorify Your holy Name: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Children for Parents

Heavenly Father, thank You for my parents and for all Your good gifts to me. Grant them Your blessing and mercy, and Your gifts of wisdom, health and long life. Help me to honour them according to Your will, and give me the strength to do all those things which are well-pleasing in Your sight. I ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom with You and the Holy Spirit are due all glory, honour and might, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
