a husband prayer
O God, who gave marriage for a blessing to mankind, bless my wife and me, and
unite us in the bond of true Christian love. Help us both to resist all temptations
to sin that would spoil our trust. Enable us to be loyal to each other during all our
separations. Strengthen us to keep the vows we made when we were made man
and wife, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
