A Prayer Thanking God for Marriage

Dear Lord,

Thank you for creating marriage and for the great privilege of being married. Thank you for my spouse. Thank you for the beautiful way you weave lives together. Please forgive me when I fail to grasp the wonder and value of marriage. Enable me to see my marriage as your blessing, today. Remind me to honor the marriages of others, as well. In Jesus’s name, amen.
