Here is an Anniversary Prayer I wrote this morning for couples that I want to share with you all. So on the day of your Anniversary you can go back and say this prayer with your special someone.
For Husband/Wife
Dear Lord, thank you for blessing me with the "love of my life as we celebrate our anniversary today. Remind us of the "vows" we took. May it rekindle "the fire of our love" for each other as we cherish the precious moments of our first kiss... our first dance... when we first fell in love... and other wonderful memories... We pray that you will bless us with more of them.
As we look into each others eyes on our Anniversary - we recommit our "vows" to one another "to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part."
We know there will be times we will say or do things that will hurt each other - and in those moments give us the grace to forgive and forget easily knowing that we have faults of our own.
When we have arguments and misunderstandings, remind us not to make matters worse by rehashing the past of what was said or done that caused us both pain but in humility and grace to work things out quickly lovingly before we say our good nights.
We praise you and thank you with all our hearts for this wonderful gift of "Love." Make our love "pure." Teach us the way to love each other and not to take advantage of the other person's patience and goodness but to love them even more. AMEN!
