A Marriage Prayer by Bud Henry Bowen
A MARRIAGE PRAYER
Bud Henry Bowen
As we begin our journey down the road of life together. We don’t know what lies ahead for the road turns and bends. But help us to make the best of whatever comes our way.
Help us to hug each other often … laugh a lot, talk more, and argue less.
Help us to continue to enjoy each other as we did when we first met.
Help us to realise that nothing or no one is perfect and to look for the good in all things and all people including ourselves.
Help us to respect each other’s likes and dislikes, opinions and beliefs, hopes and dreams and fears even though we may not always understand them.
Help us to learn from each other and to help each other to grow mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
Help us to realise that there is design and purpose in our lives as in the world and no matter what happens to us we will hold on to each other and know that things have a way of working out for the good.
Help us to create for our children a peaceful, stable home of love as a foundation on which they can build their lives.
But most of all, help us to keep lit the torch of love that we now share in our hearts to that by our loving example we may pass on the light of love to our children and to their children and to their children’s children forever.
