PRAYER FOR MARRIED COUPLES

Almighty and eternal god,

you blessed the union of married couples

so that they might reflect the union of christ

with his church:

look with kindness on them.

renew their marriage covenant,

increase your love in them,

and strengthen their bond of peace

so that, with their children,

they may always rejoice in the gift of

your blessing.

we ask this through christ our lord.

amen.
