Prayer text
Lord, guide my dating relationship so it may be lived with respect, sincerity, and responsibility. Help us seek the good of one another, grow in faith, and not confuse love with possession or selfishness. Amen.
When to pray this prayer
Pray when you want to order the relationship, speak truthfully, ask for maturity, or discern whether the relationship is drawing both of you closer to God.
How to pray calmly
Find a possible place of silence, make the Sign of the Cross, read the prayer slowly, and pause on the phrases that speak most to your heart. There is no need to rush: a brief prayer made with attention is worth more than many words spoken without presence.
Small practical step
Speak about one important point with respect and clarity, without manipulating or fleeing the truth.
