For the Church preparation is vital because it ensures couples understand marriage as a sacred covenant intended by God and equips them to live according to the church’s teaching, while helping couples develop skills necessary for the reality of a lifelong commitment.
PRAYER FOR ENGAGED COUPLES
Heavenly Father, Bless us as we journey toward marriage. Teach us to love each other more deeply each day,
to listen with open hearts,
and to give of ourselves generously. Help us grow
in patience, understanding, and joy. May we always seek Your guidance, trusting in Your plan for our lives.
Prepare us to build a holy union rooted in faith, hope, and love. With You at the center, may our love reflect Your divine love.
Amen.
