Left behind childhood and adolescence. The girl grew up - a sight for sore eyes simply. And it's time for her to get married. But where to find a good groom? To "not drink, not smoke, not fornication and love"? There are none of these already.
Do not despair. There is a maiden's prayer for an honest marriage. Ask for help from God, the Mother of God and the saints.
Prayer to god
I want to marry for the good. It is understandable. But, as mentioned above, where to find one?
Ask the Lord for help. And if His will is, you will find a good spouse. The question is ripening: should I pray at home or in the temple?
It is possible so and so. In the temple, give prayers to the Lord. And do not miss them, once filed. Pray with parishioners and the priest, ask for help in arranging your personal life.
And we will publish the girl’s prayer for marriage:
O All-good Lord, I know that my great happiness depends on me loving you with all my soul and with all my heart, and in doing all your holy will. Rule yourself, O my God, my soul and fill my heart: I want to please you alone, for you are the Creator and my God. Save me from pride and pride: let mind, modesty and chastity adorn me. Idleness is contrary to You and gives rise to vices, but give me a desire for industriousness and bless my labors. For your Law therefore commands you to live in an honest marriage, then bring me, Holy Father, to this title sanctified by You, not to please my lust, but to fulfill your destiny, for you yourself said: it’s not good for a man to be alone and, having made him a wife as an assistant, blessed them to grow, multiply and inhabit the earth. Hear my humble prayer, from the depths of the devil of my heart I am sending to you; give me an honest and pious spouse, that we in love with him and in harmony glorify you, the merciful God: the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and forever. Amen.
Prayer to the Virgin
Mother of God is our helper and intercessor. Who, except Her, will hear the maiden's prayer cry and will react to it with lightning speed? Of course, prayer should be sincere, not dry, as often happens. They read the words somehow and calmed down on this.
No girls, that won't work. If you undertook to pray, then let's overpower ourselves. And we will read the girl’s prayer for marriage from the heart.
Troparia, voice 4: Your Christmas, Virgin Mary, the joy of erecting the whole universe: from you the ascension of the Sun of truth Christ our God, and breaking the oath, I will give a blessing, and abolish death, give us an eternal belly.
Kondak, the voice of the 4th: Joachim and Anna reproach of mercilessness, and Adam, and Eve from the aphids of the mortals are free, Most Holy, in Your holy Christmas. Thy people also celebrate, you will be freed from the sins of sins, always call Ty: the Mother of God and the Nursery of our life gives birth to bad children.
To Archangel Varahiel
The girl’s prayer for marriage is understandable. Sooner or later, every woman has a desire to go down the aisle.
And then Orthodox Christians begin to pray. As we said above, you can turn to God and to the Virgin. And you can ask for the help of the archangel Varahiel. He is the patron of pious families.
Prayer: O great archangel of God the archangel Barahiel! Standing before the Throne of God and honoring the blessings of God in the homes of the faithful servants of God, ask the Lord God for mercy and blessings on our houses, God bless us and increase the abundance of the fruits of the earth, and give us health and salvation, in all good haste, and enemies victory and overcoming, and will save us for many years, always. Now and forever and ever. Amen.
Is it possible to live in a civil marriage?
The Orthodox know the answer to this question. No you can not. The intimate relationship between a man and an unmarried woman is called fornication.
Fornication is a very serious sin, which now affects the majority of the population. Fornicators are not known to inherit the kingdom of heaven unless they repent of their sins.
And another point: how can you pray for the gift of a good groom, and having received it, enter into a fornication? This is a mockery of God and His help.
Now they say that you first need to "try" each other. Suddenly not like a life together.
This is an irresponsible position, and believers do not reason like that. In addition, civil marriages, as they are called, hardly entail anything good. Even if it seems that the couple is living well, this is often a deceptive impression.
Conclusion
We talked about how and who to pray to a girl who dreams of marriage. And they told me whether to enter into a relationship before the wedding.
