As Mother, the Church is close to the many married couples who find themselves in difficulty…she knows well their situation, which is often very arduous and at times truly tormented by difficulties of every kind…There is no doubt that these conditions must include persistence and patience, humility and strength of mind, filial trust in God and His grace, and frequent recourse to prayer and the sacraments of the Eucharist and of Reconciliation.
—Pope John Paul II

Loving Father, I bow before you today with a heavy heart. My marriage is in big trouble, and I need Your guidance and closeness. Father, please make alterations in my spouse’s heart. Lord, make us compatible again, and move us closer together as we were before. Father, shower us with Your love and give us the ability to completely forgive one another, love one another, care for one another, and fulfill your life long wishes for us. God, show us the pain caused by careless, unnecessary words, and the harm caused by emotional distance. Heal the division between the two of us. Make us one again. In Your precious name I pray, Amen.
