Japanese Two people can pray these words together for their relationship: “Lord, bless the two of us. Teach us to listen before we answer, to forgive quickly and to keep choosing each other. Stay at the center of our love. Amen.” Catholic, Anglican and Orthodox prayer books also have old prayers for couples.
Prayers to say together as a couple
These prayers suit a dating couple, an engaged couple or a married one. They are written for two voices, but either person can say them alone.
When you start praying together
Lord, we have not prayed together much, and it feels strange to start. Be with us in these few words. Jesus promised, “where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:20). We are two, and we ask you to be the third. Amen.
For honest, kind conversation
God, we talk past each other too often. Help us say what we mean without cutting each other down, and help us hear what the other one is really saying. Make us “swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath” (James 1:19). Amen.
After an argument
Lord, we hurt each other today. Take the heat out of our words and show each of us our own share of the fault. Your word says, “let not the sun go down upon your wrath” (Ephesians 4:26). Help us make peace before we sleep. Amen.
For patience with each other
Father, the same habits annoy us again and again. Give us patience with each other’s faults, as you are patient with ours. Teach us to be “forbearing one another in love” (Ephesians 4:2), and to laugh where we used to snap. Amen.
For trust
Lord, make us people the other can rely on: honest about money, time and friendships, faithful when we are apart, and true to our word in small things. Where either of us has been hurt before, heal the fear that makes trust hard. Amen.
For shared plans
God, we are making plans together: where to live, what work to take, how to spend and save. Show us which goals are worth pursuing, keep us from pulling in two directions, and guide our decisions. “In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:6). Amen.
For joy in each other’s company
Thank you, Lord, for the person beside me, for shared meals, jokes only we understand and ordinary evenings together. Do not let busyness crowd out our time together, and keep us glad in each other. Amen.
When hard times come to both of us
Lord, illness, money trouble or grief has come to both of us at once. Keep us from turning on each other under the strain. When one of us falls, let the other lift that one up, as your word says: “Two are better than one … a threefold cord is not quickly broken” (Ecclesiastes 4:9, 12). Be the third strand. Amen.
For a married couple’s closeness
God, you made husband and wife to become “one flesh” (Genesis 2:24). Renew our desire for each other and our tenderness. Guard us against routine, tiredness and distraction, and keep our bodies and hearts given to each other alone. Amen.
To choose each other again every day
Lord, we made promises to each other. Help us keep them today in small ways: a kind word, a chore done without being asked, attention given instead of the phone. Tomorrow, help us choose each other again. Amen.
Praying for your partner
This prayer for a boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife asks for the partner’s good and for change in the one praying, not for control over the partner.
Lord, bless [name]. Give [him or her] health, good work and friends who tell the truth. Draw [him or her] closer to you. Where I have failed to value [name], forgive me, and where I feel unvalued, help me say so plainly and kindly. Make me the partner [name] needs. Amen.
Healing a relationship in trouble
Lord, our relationship is hurting, and neither of us knows how to fix it. We have said and done things we regret. Soften both our hearts. Give us the humility to ask forgiveness and the grace to give it, “even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye” (Colossians 3:13). Send us wise help, a pastor, a counselor or a friend, and show us whether and how to go on. Amen.
If your partner hits, threatens, controls or frightens you, your safety comes first, and praying for the relationship is no reason to stay in danger.

Traditional prayers for couples
A prayer to be said by husband or wife
The Manual of Prayers, prepared by order of the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore for American Catholics, prints this prayer after its marriage service. It asks that the two “be also inwardly of one heart and of one mind.” The bracketed line is for couples with children.
O merciful God, we humbly beseech Thee to send Thy blessing continually upon us, and to make us thankful for all that Thou hast already vouchsafed unto us; and as Thou hast made us one in the mystical grace of matrimony, grant that we may be also inwardly of one heart and of one mind, paying due honor one to another, united in love to Thee and to each other in Thee; living together in peace and holiness, as faithful members of Thy Church, denying ourselves, and being a mutual help, comfort, and support to each other, all the days of our life. [Give us grace to train our children in Thy faith and fear.] Bless us with health and strength, if it be Thy will, and with whatever else Thy good providence shall see to be best for our souls and bodies. Fit and prepare us day by day for our departure hence, that we may together inherit eternal life in Thy heavenly kingdom. Through the merits of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
A Manual of Prayers for the Use of the Catholic Laity (1888), “A Prayer to be said by Husband or Wife,” p. 452
From the Book of Common Prayer’s marriage service
The Episcopal Church’s 1928 prayer book gives this prayer at a wedding. A married couple can pray it for themselves by saying “us” for “these thy servants” and “our home” for “their home.”
O God, who hast so consecrated the state of Matrimony that in it is represented the spiritual marriage and unity betwixt Christ and his Church; Look mercifully upon these thy servants, that they may love, honour, and cherish each other, and so live together in faithfulness and patience, in wisdom and true godliness, that their home may be a haven of blessing and of peace; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit ever, one God, world without end. Amen.
The Book of Common Prayer (1928), The Form of Solemnization of Matrimony, p. 303
For the one you love
For a couple who are not married, this short family prayer from the same book fits well.
Almighty God, we entrust all who are dear to us to thy never-failing care and love, for this life and the life to come; knowing that thou art doing for them better things than we can desire or pray for; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Book of Common Prayer (1928), Family Prayer, “For Those We Love,” p. 597
The prayer of Tobias and Sara
The Book of Tobit (Tobias), which Catholic and Orthodox Bibles include and most Protestant Bibles place among the Apocrypha, tells how a newly married couple rose on their wedding night and “prayed earnestly both together.” Tobias blessed God, who made Adam and “gavest him Eve for a helper” (Tobias 8:8), and Sara’s part of the prayer is one line:
Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us, and let us grow old both together in health.
Tobias 8:10 (Douay-Rheims)
From the Orthodox betrothal
In the Orthodox service of betrothal, which comes before the crowning at an Orthodox wedding, the priest asks God to “unite and maintain these thy servants in peace and oneness of mind.” Couples can use the same words: “Lord, unite and keep us in peace and oneness of mind.” The phrase comes from Isabel Hapgood’s 1906 English translation of the Orthodox service book (Hapgood, p. 293).
Peter and Fevronia, saints of marriage in Russia
Russian Orthodox Christians ask the prayers of Saints Peter and Fevronia of Murom for married couples and for love between husband and wife. Their story is known from the Tale of Peter and Fevronia, written by the monk Yermolai-Erasmus in the late 1540s, and they were canonized at a church council in 1547. The chronicles do not record them, and their identification with Prince David Yurievich of Murom, who died in 1228, is uncertain. Their feast falls on 25 June in the old calendar, 8 July in the civil calendar, and since 2008 Russia has kept 8 July as a Day of Family, Love and Fidelity. Their patronage of marriage is a popular devotion. Catholic and Orthodox Christians ask saints to pray for them; most Protestants pray to God alone.
Love between two people in Scripture
Paul describes love in 1 Corinthians 13. The King James Version translates the Greek word for love as “charity”:
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
1 Corinthians 13:4–7
Other passages couples often pray over are Colossians 3:13–14, which ends “above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness,” and Song of Solomon 8:7: “Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it.”
Prayer for Unity in Challenges
Unity in challenges is like navigating a ship through stormy seas. It demands teamwork, trust, and an unwavering belief in each other’s abilities, with God as the guiding star. In the journey of life, especially within the sanctity of a relationship, facing hurdles together rather than apart strengthens the bond, weaves resilience into the fabric of partnership, and illuminates the path with shared purpose and understanding. It’s in these moments of joint struggle that love deepens, and the true essence of unity shines brightest.
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father,
In Your wisdom, You have woven our lives together, calling us to embody unity, especially when shadows fall upon our path. As we navigate through the tempests of life, hand in hand, may our spirits be anchored in Your eternal love. Teach us to face every challenge with a heart of courage and a spirit of unity.
Lord, let our love be a testimony of Your grace, as we turn each obstacle into an opportunity to grow closer, not just to each other but to You. In moments of discord, remind us of the bridge of understanding that Your love provides. May we walk it with patience, holding tightly to one another, and even tighter to Your promises.
In every challenge, let the light of Your wisdom guide us, so that even in the darkest nights, we find our way back to love, back to unity, and back to You. For it is together, under Your guidance, that we can weather any storm.
Amen.
Conclusively, unity in challenges is not merely about avoiding the storms but learning to dance in the rain, together. It’s about recognizing that every trial is an echo of God’s call to deeper communion with each other and with Him. As we move forward, let this prayer be a lighthouse that guides our relationships to the shore of unbreakable unity, fortified by faith and cloaked in divine love. Only then can we truly understand the beauty of togetherness, especially when the journey gets tough.
Prayer for Shared Growth in Faith
In a world filled with distractions and challenges, growing together in faith stands as a lighthouse guiding couples towards a harbor of deeper intimacy and understanding. Just like two seeds planted side by side reach towards the light, growing in their unique ways yet contributing to each other’s strength, so does shared growth in faith fortify a relationship. This prayer seeks to bless couples with the grace of shared spiritual journeys, nurturing their bond through the enriching soil of faith.

May our shared growth in faith be a testament to Your love and grace, inspiring those around us to seek Your truth.
As trees share the forest’s soil yet grow towards the sky individually, help us to grow in our faith, both as individuals and as a couple. May this shared journey draw us closer, not just to each other, but to You, Lord, creating a bond that is unbreakable, nurtured by mutual respect, understanding, and love for Your divine presence in our lives.
