Prayer for the Perfect Spouse

[blackswan41]

If it be your vocation to marry, now is the best time to begin to pray for them.

<span style="font-family:Arial Black">Prayer For A Good Husband Or Wife</span>

O Jesus, Lover of the young, the dearest Friend I have, in all confidence I open my heart to You to beg Your light and assistance in the important task of planning my future. Give me the light of Your grace, that I may decide wisely concerning the person who is to be my partner through life. Dearest Jesus, send me such a one whom in Your wisdom You judge best suited to be united with me in marriage.

May his (her) character reflect some of the traits of Your own Sacred Heart. May he (she) be upright, loyal, pure, sincere and noble, so that with united efforts and with pure and unselfish love we both may strive to perfect ourselves in soul and body, as well as the children it may please You to entrust to our care. Bless our friendship before marriage, that sin may have no part in it. May our mutual love bind us so closely, that our future home may ever be most like Your own at Nazareth.

O Mary Immaculate, sweet Mother of the young, to your special care I entrust the decision I am to make as to my future husband (wife). You are my guiding Star! Direct me to the person with whom I can best co-operate in doing God’s Holy Will, with whom I can live in peace, love, and harmony in this life, and attain to eternal joys in the next. Amen.

Well, then. Here's a little vocation prayer for the rest of y'all

Prayer For My Vocation

O my God, Thou Who art the God of wisdom and counsel, Thou readest in my heart the sincere will to please Thee alone and to govern myself with regard to my choice of a state of life entirely in conformity with Thy most holy desire; grant me by the intercession of the most Blessed Virgin, my Mother, and of my holy patrons, especially of St. Joseph and St. Aloysius, the grace to know what state of life I ought to choose, and when to embrace it, so that in it I may be able to pursue and increase Thy glory, and work out my salvation, and merit that heavenly reward which Thou hast promised to those that do Thy will. Amen.

You are getting realy serious about that. I pray the best for you, my dear friend Zabbigale. But as i prayed that prayer I thought of the same person i always associate love with and i'm affraid of this. Every time i hear love i think of the same person, every song about love i see her smile, I'm affraid off this too. Do you think this could mean i'm beggening to get too close to someone who i'm trying to consider just as a close-friend or do you think we're meant to be something more? I always get confused when thinking about love or this girl for various reasons, but In my heart I've always felt we were meant to be something more and i guess in a way we are, but maybe it has gone too far. Maybe i'm blinded to true love by the fact that i'm of romantic essence.
