How to Heal Your Marriage Quotes

“Lord Jesus Christ, you taught us that we should do good to those who frustrate us and always be loving even to those we are angry with or hurt by. Sometimes, Lord, we are so far from this in our marriage. Help us to know how to put into place those habits that will make us feel loved, supported, and understood even when the tensions rise. Give us your grace to overcome our injured pride, emotional reactions, addiction to our preferences, and tendency to be parents to each other instead of partners. Empower us to encourage each other through the tension by exhibiting your love for each other when our own love runs dry. Most importantly, help us to pursue the solutions that respect your will more than ours so that we can have the marriage you have in mind for us — the marriage that will lead us closer to each other and to you. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.”

“Lord Jesus Christ, in Genesis, we are told that it is not good for us to be alone. Help us to remember this as we work toward healing our marriage. Help us to overcome the pride that might stop us from reaching out for assistance. Give us the wisdom we need to seek good counsel and the humility we need to accept and use the help we receive. Walk with us on our journey, and grant us the ability to cooperate fully with your abundant grace. We place our marriage at the foot of your Cross. As we join our struggle to your Cross, we ask that you would allow us to also rise with you so that the love you would rekindle in our hearts would be a sign to us and the world of the wonders your grace can do. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. Our Lady of Good Counsel, pray for us!”
