Both: Lord, help us to submit to one another.

Husband: Help me to be the husband that you are, loving my wife as you love the church. May I never be slow to nourish her and cherish her and give myself for her.

Wife: May I never forget that in submitting to my husband that I am first submitting to you.

Both: May we live with one another with understanding and honor. Let us not deal treacherously with one another so that our prayers are not hindered. May the fullness of loving one another as you have commanded be obvious to others. May nothing be able to divide us, may we be one as you have always desired. May you hedge us both in so that the enemy cannot separate us. May we be found agreeing when we pray.
