To Saint Archangel Raphael:

Archangel Raphael, Angel of Happy Meetings, lead me by the hand toward the person I am looking for. Just as you were sent by God to guide young Tobias toward Sarah, a good and virtuous spouse, please do this also for me.

May my every movement and all their movements be guided by your Light and transfigured by your joy.

Amen

To Jesus:

O Jesus, lover of lovers, my dearest Friend, I open my heart to You in all confidence. I beg Your Light and Assistance. Give me the Light of Your grace, that I may decide wisely concerning the person who is to be my partner for life.

Dearest Jesus, send me such a person whom, in Your divine wisdom, You judge best suited to be united with me in marriage. May their character reflect some of the traits of Your own Sacred Heart.

Bless our friendship before marriage, that sin may have no part in it.

May they be upright, loyal, pure, sincere and noble, so that with united efforts and with pure and unselfish love, we may both strive to perfect ourselves in soul and body, as well as the children who it may please You to entrust to our care.

May our mutual love bind us so closely, that our future home may be most like Your own home at Nazareth.

Amen

To Saint Mary:

O Mary Immaculate, sweet Mother of us all, to your special care I entrust the decision I am to make in the selection of my future spouse.

Mary, you are my guiding Star!

Direct me to the person with whom I can best cooperate in doing God's Holy Will, with whom I can live in peace, love and harmony in this life, and attain eternal joy in the next.

Amen

To Saint Joseph:

O glorious Saint Joseph, having sought the aid of your most blessed spouse, I now confidently implore your assistance. From your place in heaven, graciously come to my aid. Ask the Lord to send someone to me who will share with me God's Eternal Love.

Amen

To Saint Valentine:

Dear Saint Valentine, glorious Martyr, so popular with lovers, be kind to me and to the one whom I am to love forever. Ask the Lord Jesus to teach us how to love unselfishly, to find great joy in giving, to bring out the best in each other, and to perceive that the Lord God is dwelling in each other's heart.

Amen

To Saint Therese:

Little Flower, Saint Therese, please pick me a rose from the heavenly garden and send it to me as a sign from you that I have found my future spouse. Ask God to grant me this favor I ask of you, and promise Our Heavenly Father that I will love Him each day more and more.

Saint Therese of the Child Jesus, pray for me.

Amen

To Saint Dwynwen:

O Blessed Saint Dwynwen, you who knew pain and peace, division and reconciliation, you have promised to aid lovers and you watch over those whose hearts have been broken. Just as you received three blessings from an angel, intercede for me to also receive three blessings; to obtain your guidance and assistance, that I may find love with the right person, at the right time, and in the right way; and an unshakeable faith in the boundless kindness and wisdom of God. And this I ask in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen

O Archangel Raphael, you not only directed Tobias to find a wife, but you also gave him a guideline to keep his marriage happy: "Pray together before making all important decisions."

If through prayer we keep God as the "third Partner" in our marriage, I believe we will have the strength and grace we need to always accept and do His will always.

Praise be to God forever!

This is a long set of prayers, but remember the trials Tobias the Elder and Sarah endured in order to achieve a happy marriage.
