Prayer for Husbands and Wives

Lord, inspire those men and women 

who bear the titles "Husband" and "Wife".

Help them look to You

to themselves 

to one another

to rediscover the fullness and mystery

they once felt in their union.

Let them be honest enough to ask:

Where have we been together

and where are we going?

Let them be brave enough to question:

How have we failed?

Let each be foolhardy enough to say:

For me, we come first.

Help them, together

to reexamine their commitment 

in the light of Your love ---

willingly, openly, compassionately.

Help them, together

to believe how fragile, yet powerful---

how weak, yet how strong---

how impossible, yet attainable

their love can be.

Give "Husband" and "Wife" the courage

to be for each other a person

rather than a title.

Amen
