Prayers for peace in couples
Your couple is going through a difficult period and you're suffering. To restore peace and the desire to love each other, we suggest a few prayers, as well as retreats and novenas (see end of article). Isn't prayer the best way to find peace, accompanied by God, to whom we have committed ourselves?
Prayers in times of conflict and difficulty
Prayer to Mary
" O Mary, pure light of heaven, joy of Angels and Archangels, sweet happiness of the elect, your Name is the glory of Paradise as it is the consolation of Earth, your praises will be sung eternally for ever and ever! And you are my Mother, so why shouldn't your child be happy at your happiness? Hail, Love and Glory to Mary, Queen of Heaven! I'm happy for your happiness, O beautiful and pure Mary, happy for the look of Love that the Holy Trinity has for you! This happiness you possess, O sweet Mary, bring it to the heart of my troubled couple, where misunderstanding and discord reign!
Intervene, sweet Mother, before the words and gestures of hatred overtake everyone's thoughts; before the rupture becomes irreversible, before the love that unites these beings is swallowed up by the forces of evil and their minions! Intervene, tender Mother, before the evil one can boast of a new victory over these souls who had promised themselves to God! May your Love, your Gentleness and your Compassion enter these ravaged hearts, to eliminate hatred, anger and resentment, and install in them forever tenderness and understanding, respect for others, and rekindle the love that must never die, for it is God's gift to Earth! I beg you, in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen "
Prayer to God (1)
"Powerful bearer of Universal Love
True ray of sunshine
Warming all hearts
I ask you to pour out on our couple
The passionate essences
Carriers of tenderness, harmony
Of respect and fidelity
Accompany our home
In joy and happiness
Help us to radiate
Perfect love
Like the one in you
Divine messenger, relieve us
From the trials we face
And protect us in all circumstances
Thus strengthened by your Divine presence
Our home will always be one of intense Love
Amen"
Prayer to God (2)
"Lord, I find it hard to bear this "gift received from You" that is my spouse.
He was my friend, my beloved.
Today, he (she) is like my best enemy.
It's not exactly war, but it's not peace either.
He (she) is always there at close range, in the living room, at the table, in bed.
His (her) attitudes, tics and words reveal for the thousandth time how much he (she) annoys me.
He (she) doesn't understand that what he (she) finds insignificant exasperates me. How can I tell him (her)? You can, Lord, You who dwell in his (her) heart.
Soothe mine too, for I long for the situation to change. Show me how much responsibility I bear for my difficulties in loving my partner. What if, by knowing how to overcome the bitterness in my heart, my love for him were to grow and strengthen? Knowing my partner's expectations is necessary if we are to remain united by the bond of marriage.
I need to look at him with trust rather than mistrust, with forgiveness rather than suspicion, with faith rather than confusion.
Change my heart and that of my partner, so that we may taste the happiness You have promised us.
Transform my heart so that I may welcome him back.
Come and bless my partner.
Amen. Glory be to God".
