For a mother, even a grown child always remains that “blood” that, regardless of age, needs help, protection and support. Sons are of particular concern. And even when the time comes for her son to start his own family, the mother continues to worry about his fate and hopes that he will find a good girl who will become his faithful wife and companion for life. With these requests she addresses her prayers for her son’s marriage.
The Orthodox Church preaches family values. It is not for nothing that the personal life of a priest should become a role model for believers, next to whom, over time, a mother appears - his like-minded person and helper, and then the family grows when children appear in it.
Prayer for son's marriage and family
If your son does not believe in God or does not want to pray, protect him yourself with his mother’s prayer, which, as you know, “will come from the bottom of the sea.”
A mother’s prayer for her son’s happy marriage and the creation of a family is the case when it is necessary to fulfill the Orthodox covenant “it is better to talk not with a person about God, but with God about a person.” A successful marriage and a good bride are not easy. Do not force your son to worry about his personal life and marriage with your conversations and advice; you cannot force him to love a person, but support him with prayer. Marrying your son or driving your bride away from him is the wrong message.
A mother can have a separate icon of the Lord and the patron saints of children and family, in front of which she can immediately pray to the saint in case of danger, if necessary for the child. The holy icon, the very name of the saint, by their very presence will save the son from the influence of evil forces. Even psychologists are confident in the effectiveness of prayer for marriage. It's time to pray - with prayer you will not only ask the Lord to resolve the situation, so that your son finds a wife, this girl was good, but also calm down yourself, do not try to marry her or discourage her from your child. Then God's help will be with you.
Serving Heaven
One day the Saint learned about the plight of the family of a recently rich city dweller.
The desperate father of the family decided to give his daughters - three young women - to fornication in order to escape poverty. Under the cover of night, Nikolai threw a bag of gold into the open window of the house three times, which saved the family from sinful death. And soon the girls were given worthy grooms. During Nicholas' pilgrimage to Jerusalem, the ship on which he was sailing was caught in a severe storm. The saint knew that it was destined to happen because he saw the devil entering the deck. The ship was on the verge of sinking, but the Saint, with fiery prayers to Christ, calmed the raging elements and returned the sun to the sky. And the second time he showed a miracle when he resurrected a sailor who had fallen to his death from a high mast.
Miracles of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker
Returning to his homeland, Nikolai realized that the ship was sailing in the wrong direction. Kneeling, the Saint begged the captain to turn the ship back, but his request was not heard. And then the Lord heeded the pleas of the Pleasant: a strong wind arose, which turned the ship and directed it in the right direction.
Mother's prayer for her son's marriage

If a person is protected by prayer and Baptism, confesses and receives communion, no damage or crown of celibacy will affect him, efforts to marry a man will not work, his well-being will not be shaken. A strong protection against all evil witchcraft influences is prayer. There is an opinion that a prayer should be read 12 times - but this is also a magical method, a conspiracy, because prayer is a real conversation with God. Discouraging your wife is a great sin; you cannot stop young people from getting married. Try to pray and accept children as they are.

Mother's prayer for creating a family and marrying a son
The patrons of family loyalty and finding a soul mate are
- Holy Fathers Joachim and Anna;
- Saints Elizabeth and Zechariah;
- Saints Peter and Fevronia of Murom;
- Holy Martyrs Adrian and Natalia;
- Blessed Matrona of Moscow;
- Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker;
- The Mother of God, the Most Holy Theotokos - they usually pray to her for the family in front of a row of Her holy icons.
Saint Natalia’s loyalty to her husband and her Christian faith are worthy of admiration and imitation. God took her to Heaven as a patient and courageous Christian. She did not shed blood, but her feat of consolation and care for her suffering spouse was counted by the Lord and the Church as martyrdom. Spousal support today is often forgotten: wives demand wealth from their husbands, husbands demand beauty from their wives. But true love looks at something else. Family foundations and traditions, acceptance of your soulmate in their weaknesses and sorrows is a virtue in any religion. God's commandments are immutable, and fidelity to one's spouse is one example of pleasing God. Dear Brothers and Sisters, we would like to remind you that if you want to buy wedding icons at a low price, then this is easy to do on the website of our Orthodox online store “House of Icons”, or if you want to buy a pair of wedding icons inexpensively, then this is also easy to do we have!
The image of Adrian and Natalia is a reminder of the importance of the Orthodox family as a small Church. Its main goal is not legal intimate relationships or even the birth of children, but the creation of each other, mutual support, growth in mental and spiritual life.
Also, in maternal prayer, you can ask for Matrona of Moscow’s help in creating a family, getting married for your son.
“I ask you, Holy Matrona of Moscow, for happiness for my son. Help him find his chosen one and deliver him from deceivers and wicked people. Give him marriage and family life according to the commandments of God, health, so that we all rejoice at your intercession and glorify the Lord always. Amen".
Here is a strong prayer to the Mother of God for your son to have a good marriage, and for your family.
“My Most Holy Lady Theotokos, take my family under Your Protection. Instill peace, love and all good things into the hearts of my son. Help, Mother of God, so that your servant, my son, with me glorify Your name and Your Son our Lord Jesus Christ always, now and ever, and forever and ever. Amen".

- Prayers
A person’s life is filled with various events, both joyful and not so joyful, but for an Orthodox Christian, any event occurs under the all-seeing gaze of the Creator. Orthodox parents raising a son should know that very soon prayer for their son’s marriage and creation of a family will become relevant, because the time of childhood and adolescence flies by instantly for adults.
Prayer to Saints Peter and Fevronia to preserve the family union
Russia also has its own defenders of family unions. These are the famous saints husband and wife - Peter and Fevronia of Murom. They lived a long life together, and even died on the same day. But the beginning of their journey together was not at all rosy. The prince suffered from leprosy; no one could heal the young man.
The Lord sent Peter a vision that a girl named Fevronia would help him. He came to her, and the pullet made the prince promise to marry. But the boyars did not at all want to see a simple peasant girl as the ruler’s wife. They drove the couple out of town. But things immediately went wrong in Murom. The people demanded that the prince and his wife be returned to the city. The couple became famous for their mutual love and wisdom in resolving disputes. Therefore, it is customary for the righteous to pray for their family.
Prayer to Archangel Raphael
Oh, holy, glorious Archangel of God Raphael! A quick helper and warm before God for us, intercessor and prayer leader. Standing before the throne of the Holy Trinity, ask us from the Lord for forgiveness of our sins: may He turn over to mercy His righteous anger, which is brought upon us for the sake of our sins. Do not forsake us, O Archangel of God, with your help and intercession, who today glorify your holy name. Even though we have committed many sins, we still do not want to perish in our iniquities. Strengthen our weak will for good deeds with the grace of the Lord. Be a guide and adviser to us, like the youth Tobias, in our many-sorrowful life. Help us get rid of the diseases that oppress us, just as you saved Tobit from his many years of blindness. When the hour of our death approaches, do not leave us, Archangel of God, defenseless in the air ordeals against the spirits of evil blocking the sunrise to the heavenly. May we, guarded by you, reach the abodes of our heavenly Father and, together with you and with all the saints, glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
Prayer for son's marriage
Every parent wishes happiness for their child, regardless of his age, children remain children for their parents. It is important to show wisdom here, because often the tastes of fathers and children do not coincide.
The influence and authority of parents should be established from the cradle. This has been confirmed many times by life itself. It is very important to create an environment in which mutual understanding will be formed in the family.
If time is lost, prayer is that dialogue in which no matter how experienced and mature we, parents, are, for the Heavenly Father we are all His beloved children. And we turn to our Parent for help. We also need to try to build a relationship with our own children, but we do not possess such wisdom and care, therefore we constantly learn how to pray correctly.
Most often, a mother’s prayer becomes a request to God for her son to find his soul mate and create a prosperous family. Practice shows that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the most difficult.
The reason is, as a rule, selfishness and jealousy. Women cannot share their beloved man, and then he finds himself between two fires. Parents need to remember the lines of Holy Scripture: a husband will separate from his parents and cleave to his wife. In other words, there is no need to interfere with the creation of a new family. It is better to turn to the powers of heaven for support.
Prayer to the Intercessors of marriage Guria, Samon and Aviv
The patrons of Orthodox marriage are Saints Gury, Samon and Aviv; they are prayed to to save the family from divorce. They especially help in cases where the husband hates his wife. The martyrs lived in the 3rd century in the city of Edessa. They were beheaded for refusing to sacrifice to idols. They became famous thanks to the story of the maiden Euphemia, which occurred after the death of the saints.
A certain foreign warrior fell in love with a young beauty and asked for her hand in marriage. He promised before the icons that he would take care of his wife. But when the couple arrived home, it turned out that the deceiver was married, and Euphemia was assigned the role of a concubine and maid. She lived in humiliation for several years; her child was poisoned by envious people. And so, the warrior went to Edessa again. Only he did not know that Euphemia turned to Gury, Samon and Aviv for help. The saints carried her home by air. The woman exposed her husband as a deceiver and he was executed.
Since then, prayers have been read to the martyrs to strengthen their families.
We advise you to study the Icons of Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary
Archangels help in creating a family
The prayer to Archangel Raphael for the marriage of his son and the creation of a family is not the only text that can be prayed to. Each archangel has his own area of help. Archangel Raphael helps in healing sick people; according to earthly understanding, he is like the chief physician of God’s hospital.
Although, according to legend, he helped the young man Tobias find his soul mate, nevertheless, his “profile” is healing. Moreover, the archangels have equal abilities. There are works by Saint Dionysius the Areopagite about the structure of the angelic world.
But Archangel Barachiel is the giver of blessings for godly deeds, he is our petitioner at the Throne of God for leading a pious family life, including the creation of such a family. A godly family is a simple concept, but difficult to implement in life.
The family should be structured like a temple. The image of Christ must be borne by the husband. This means that he must love his wife, just as Christ loves his Church.
Then the wife will reciprocate. This understanding of the family helps create a favorable atmosphere and healthy relationships. If you look at such families where the Lord comes first, you can immediately see that everything else is in order.
Watch the video stories and interact personally with this experience, where married couples share their path to creating a Christian family. These are not only families of priests, ordinary lay people, believers, building a life together in Christ, knowing what they want in the end, what the atmosphere of family life should be filled with.
This does not mean that such a family lives without conflicts, quarrels, arguments, but the values by which life together is formed help to avoid sharp corners and find the right joint solution for each other’s benefit.
Reviews on prayer for marriage for a son may vary and may not always convey positive emotions. This is usually connected with the attitude towards prayer, Christ, and the church as a whole. You cannot go to the temple as if you were going to a store - as needed. It’s sick, it’s hot - let’s go light candles, remember the prayers, the angels. I felt better, decided, and abandoned everything.
Without a deep understanding of the essence of Christianity, it will not be possible to build a relationship with the Lord. It is necessary to develop consistency in spiritual experience, then God’s Providence will open and help will come through prayers.
Praying correctly requires sincerity, love and faith.
Father's and mother's prayer is not a formula, and God is not a robot who responds to a correctly programmed appeal.
To get a response, it is not enough just to read the text of the prayer. You need to say it sincerely, from yourself, as if you are really asking someone who is nearby, be it God, the Virgin Mary, an angel or a saint.
Prayer is communication with higher powers, and therefore you need to know some spiritual “etiquette.” The following tips will help:
Tip 1. Prayer must come from the heart . It is very important to choose the text that resonates within, and turn to the saint to whom the soul is truly open. Even if this saint has nothing to do with the problem of motherhood, he will still convey the request to God.
Prayer
this is communication with higher powers, and therefore you need to know some spiritual “etiquette”
Tip 2. Prayer is not an order or magic . You should not treat prayer as a spiritual feat or a way to order something from higher powers. Prayer is an action that is resorted to when a problem cannot be solved on one’s own. For other cases, there are simply prayers of praise in which there is no request.
Tip 3. The text of the prayer can be changed a little . Sometimes it happens that you don’t like something about prayer at all. A person does not want to call himself a servant of God, or it is very important to read “I am such and such” instead of “I am such and such” - after all, prayers are usually written so that a man can read them. In such cases, it is better to do what is more pleasant for yourself than to read something with which there is no internal agreement.
Tip 4. They usually pray in front of icons, in holy places, or in front of a window. Here you already need to proceed from your circumstances: if there is somewhere to go - good, if not - to the icon, if the one you need is missing - in front of the window. And even then it’s not necessary. These are just wishes.
Tip 5. They pray not to the icon, but to the one who is depicted on it. At the same time, the saint is not worshiped, but simply shown respect and, as it were, asked to become a mediator for communication with God.
Tip 6. If you don’t have the prayer you need, you can pray in your own words . Today there are, perhaps, prayers for all occasions. They are approved by the Orthodox Church and recommended for reading. But if there is no suitable one, but you still want to turn to God, there is nothing wrong with asking the Lord for something in your own way.
Tip 7. Pray secretly . Prayer should not be displayed publicly. This is a personal matter, not a reason to show off.
Prayer requires solitude, you need to hide from the outside world
How to pray correctly
The text of the prayer can be addressed not only to the Almighty, the Most Holy Theotokos, angels, but also to a beloved saint or the patron of a son. Each situation is individual, sometimes the mother is a believer, but the son is not. Perhaps, out of ignorance, he will show dissatisfaction or consider such help an interference in his personal life. This is not a reason to refuse prayer.
You can pray for a person without his consent. But prayer should not be intrusive or ostentatious. Jesus Christ told us how to pray: say your prayer in secret so that it does not lead to condemnation. This is also a kind of sacrament between God and man.
The Lord knows all our needs and aspirations, what is useful and saving, therefore the will of God must be the main one. At the end of the prayer, add the following words: Lord, not as I want, but as You decide. It’s good if the son supports, asks for prayerful help in finding a pious wife, starting a family, and prays about it himself.
You can pray collectively, that is, together. Such a prayer is pleasing to God, because He says: where there are two, three in My name, there I am in the midst of them.
How does prison affect a person?
And although the church is against this, the majority of Orthodox Christians still support the current system. Moreover, some even believe that a person must pay for a sin committed during his lifetime by serving the term prescribed by the judge. Because something like this will help:
- realize guilt - impunity is fraught with consequences. If a sinful or illegal act is not punished, then a person will completely cease to consider himself a criminal. This will cause him to sin even more;
- atone for guilt - the suffering that befalls prisoners helps them cleanse their souls and fully devote themselves to atonement for the crime. As you know, without this it is impossible to receive forgiveness;
- to get the opportunity to reform - no matter how trivial this may sound, however, prison is a kind of school of life. Few people, having passed it, will want to return. Therefore, this can help guide a person on the right path.
It should also be noted that this helps victims of crimes feel at least a little better. After all, they know that the culprit has been punished. And this helps them find peace of mind. But, since the church takes a different position, it is not difficult to guess that there are no prohibitions regarding prayers offered in order to obtain mercy for the condemned.
This gives rise to much controversy. However, we must not forget that Orthodoxy is a very loyal religion. The Church teaches that man, being a creation of the Lord, cannot try on the role of a judge and argue about who deserves what punishment. Moreover, spiritual mentors teach their flock the ability to forgive. It is believed that no one has the right to become an executioner for another person.
It is for this reason that priests not only do not forbid the relatives of the convicted person to offer prayer for him, but they themselves often participate in the process of prayer. Those who often visit church know that within the walls of the house of the Lord, the priests themselves read prayers in which they ask the Creator to grant mercy to those who have stumbled. According to the priests, no one should be left without spiritual support. Because in this case the person only continues to suffer mentally. When his torment reaches its peak, he will again commit a rash act and ruin his life.
Orthodox prayers and strong conspiracies
In order for your son to successfully and quickly marry a good girl, read the Orthodox prayer addressed to the Most Holy Theotokos. You will still look after your grandchildren.
There are a lot of girls, but you, as a caring parent, want to see a worthy and faithful life partner next to your child.
The age is approaching, but the son still won’t tie the knot.
And your heart cannot calm down. You are afraid that the child will remain alone.
Go to an Orthodox Church and buy as many candles as you like.
Set aside at least one for prayer at home.
Place candles at the icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
When making the sign of the cross on yourself, silently say these prayer lines.
Most Holy Virgin Mary, make sure that my son gets married successfully and strives more for good things. Amen.
When you have free time, retire to a locked room. Light the remaining candles. Place an icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary nearby.
Mentally ask the Lord God to forgive you for your sins.
Start reading the prayer repeatedly and slowly.
Holy Mother of God, Virgin Mary. I ask you, have mercy and send my son a good girl, so that she believes in the Lord and does not measure life by selfishness. Do not punish him with loneliness, illuminate him with faith in God and a bright prophecy. Grant your son family happiness, healthy children and good news. Take him away from unworthy girls and obscene actions. When he marries, let him remain faithful, love his wife, and not offend him. Don’t let her decide to cheat and move away from her family and children. I praise you and believe in your guardian angel, who will protect you from troubles, will not leave you on the road, and will reject human anger. Thy will be done. Amen.
Cross yourself three times in a row. When all the candles go out, take their stubs to the Orthodox Church.
Your son will definitely get married. Now let me congratulate you on his upcoming marriage.
Prayer to Mother Matrona
If you are looking for a strong prayer to get your daughter married, then the prayer service to Matrona of Moscow is best suited for this. True, before pronouncing its words, you should fully understand the need for it. After all, if your daughter is still young, inexperienced and does not want to tie the knot herself, then it is not recommended to pray for her marriage. But if, on the contrary, a girl has been dreaming of marriage for a very long time, but she cannot find a good husband, then it is worth saying the words of prayer.
They tearfully beg you, Most Holy Mother Matrona, I ask you for the happiness of your beloved daughter (daughter’s full name). Help her not to make a mistake in her choice and protect her from unfaithful and dashing men. Send her a bright marriage and a long married life, which will proceed according to the laws of God. Let it be your will. Amen.
Prayer and conspiracy will help you marry your son.
The concern of many mothers about the marriage of their sons is sometimes of no small importance. Marrying a son becomes a problem, often related to age.
It seems that at first we are in no hurry to get our son married. We think we’re young and haven’t had enough time, but then we realize that this so-called “walking around” process has dragged on for a long time. There may be no waiting for grandchildren, but the son himself has no intention of getting married. To marry your son, prayer and a conspiracy may come in handy.
Prayer and a conspiracy to marry a son should really be used in need, if it is not possible to marry a son in the usual ways and he is not going to come to his senses.
You will need a church candle and a small square of red fabric, 2x2 centimeters. Choose a day and early at dawn, start by reading the morning prayer rule or the rule of 5 prayers:
Then, after you finish saying your prayers, when you are strong in spirit to marry your son, light a candle and read this prayer.
Prayer to marry your son.
“Lord, send my son (son’s name) an intelligent bride, an intelligent wife, so that he may be united in the sacrament of marriage and live in faith, piety and purity. Amen."
Hold the prepared red square in your palms and say the plot out loud 2 times.
Conspiracy to marry my son.
“Like there are two eyes on a face, like two hands on a body, like a river has two banks, so my son (son’s name) would have a pair. May fate have mercy on him, may the future happen as soon as possible. Exactly!"
Having crossed yourself, get down to business. Sew this square on the inside to any of your son's clothes. While sewing, quietly chant the same plot to marry your son.
A miraculous prayer for the marriage of a son does not have to be canonical; you can pray in your own words if you do not have a church prayer. The Lord will certainly hear. Pray to Almighty God - that's the most important thing. You can also offer Orthodox prayers about marriage and personal life to saints, for example, Blessed Xenia, or Saint Nicholas.
Orthodox prayer for a son to marry and personal life to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker
“Oh, all-validated, great wonderworker, Saint of Christ, Father Nicholas! I pray to you, be the hope of all Christians, a protector of the faithful, a feeder for the hungry, joy for those who cry, a doctor for the sick, a steward of those floating on the sea, a feeder for the poor and orphans and a quick helper and patron for everyone, may we live a peaceful life here and may we be worthy to see the glory of God’s elect in heaven and with them unceasingly sing the praises of the One God worshiped in the Trinity forever and ever. Amen".
A powerful miraculous prayer for marriage or personal life to Blessed Saint Xenia of Petersburg
Both women and men can pray to Saint Xenia.
“Blessed Ksenia, I, (my name), turn to you with a prayer for help in marriage! I ask you to unite my destiny with a beloved and loving man - noble, kind, reliable, handsome, successful, so that he becomes a good husband for me and a real father for my child. So that we live in love and harmony and in abundance, so that we do not need anything, so that in our hearts there is only love, kindness, and hope. So that we become faithful loving spouses, kind good happy parents, so that our loved ones are given love and care. Hear my prayer, Blessed Ksenia, have mercy, forgive me for my sins and help me with my request! Show me where my destiny and happiness are! Amen".
What some call the “silence of God” in the face of suffering, especially when children suffer, in the face of wars, genocides, the Holocaust, etc., poses a very painful question for us. How can God, who is by definition good, allow so much suffering?
To speak of the “silence of God” would mean to insult His greatness. God never left man with his attention. First of all, it should be emphasized that the meaning of events is beyond our understanding. Man is generally inclined to use the benefits that God lavishes on him, and at the same time not ask any questions. If we do not have the right to ask questions about the good we enjoy on earth, on what basis will we begin to inquire why we suffer?
Don’t the Teachers teach us: “As we glorify the Eternal for the good that He lavishes on us, so let us bless Him for the evil that He would force us to endure.”

Pray that your adult children will have a happy marriage. Save your prayers so you don't lose them
Plot for daughter's marriage
In addition to prayers, there is also a mother’s conspiracy to marry off her daughter.

And for the ritual to work, you will need to go out into the open early in the morning, face the rising sun and say the magic words.
Far, far away, beyond the seas and oceans, in a copper city and in a wooden tower, there is a good fellow, who is chained with 10 chains and locked with 10 doors. And only my kind word can free this good fellow, and then he will quickly rush to his betrothed. Therefore, I, dear mother (your full name), speak to this young man for his love for the red maiden (daughter’s full name). And now he won’t want to walk or have fun without her, and now he won’t be able to live without her even in his parents’ house near his mother and father. She will appear to him in a dream and in reality, he will see her both in the dark of midnight and on a bright day. Without her, he will not see joy and comfort will not come to him. So my word came to an end, and my red daughter (daughter’s full name) came to a beginning.
Prayer for children's happy marriage

The tradition of giving a farewell to newlyweds with an icon is as ancient as religion itself and the idea of a wedding ceremony. How to choose the right images for blessing and conduct the ceremony so that it does not become just a beautiful element of the holiday, but really helps a young family overcome the difficulties of life?
They pray to Jesus Christ for an adult son
Prayer for an adult son is practically prayer for another person. But if it needs to be clarified that we are not talking about just anyone, but about a beloved child, then this prayer will do.
Prayer for an adult son to Jesus Christ:
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, prayers for the sake of Your Most Pure Mother, hear me, a sinful and unworthy servant of Yours (your name). Lord, in the mercy of Your power, my child (son’s name), have mercy and save him for Your name’s sake. Lord, forgive him all the sins, voluntary and involuntary, that he committed before You. Lord, guide him on the true path of Your commandments and enlighten him and enlighten him with Your light of Christ, for the salvation of the soul and the healing of the body. Lord, bless him in the house, around the house, in the field, at work and on the road and in every place of Your possession.
Lord, protect him under the protection of Your Saints from a flying bullet, arrow, knife, sword, poison, fire, flood, from a deadly ulcer and from vain death. Lord, protect him from visible and invisible enemies, from all troubles, evils and misfortunes.
Lord, heal him from all diseases, cleanse him from all filth (wine, tobacco, drugs) and ease his mental suffering and sorrow. Lord, grant him the grace of the Holy Spirit for many years of life, health, and chastity.
Lord, give him Your blessing for a godly family life and godly childbearing.
Lord, grant me, Thy unworthy and sinful servant, a parental blessing on my child in the coming mornings, days, evenings and nights, for Thy name’s sake, for Thy Kingdom is eternal, omnipotent and omnipotent. Amen. Lord have mercy.
Icon selection
of the Kazan Mother of God and the Almighty Savior are usually chosen as images for blessing , both in separate frames and in the form of a “fold” - images connected to each other.
Traditionally, the Mother of God is considered the patroness of the whole world, but especially of women and mothers (future and present). Therefore, the bride is blessed with the image of the Kazan Mother of God . Jesus Christ is the patron of everyone, but the male image usually accompanies the blessing of the groom.
Both newlyweds are greeted with either two icons or the one that the parents consider more suitable for the ceremony.
In a wedding ceremony, the blessing ceremony can be performed once, twice or more. In the first case, parents meet the newlyweds with the icons after the registry office before the walk or after the walk, at the entrance to the banquet hall (another place of the feast).
In families that follow the canons of Orthodoxy, a slightly different order of blessing is adopted:
- future newlyweds receive a general blessing from both parents during matchmaking and at the conclusion of the engagement;
- the bride and groom are blessed separately by their parents (or older family members) before leaving home;
- at the entrance to the temple, the newlyweds are greeted by a priest with an image , which is also used for the wedding;
- With icons, older relatives greet the newlyweds after the wedding and after, at the entrance to the new house.
At the time of the ceremony, the mother or father holds the icons in special towels , purchased or embroidered by the bride before the wedding. In the same towels the images are placed on the shrine or stored.
After the wedding celebrations are completed, the icons remain with the newlyweds ; they are placed in the “red corner” in a religious family or stored in a secluded place. Subsequently, these same images are used to bless newborn children and grandchildren, during family prayers, and to “pray” sick and endangered family members.
Prayer
During the ceremony, it does not matter which of the parents will hold the towel with images - the father or mother - and which of the pairs of parents (bride or groom) will perform the ceremony. The main thing is that the person giving the blessing is a baptized and, if possible, a believer .
The parting words of the newlyweds are accompanied by a prayer:
(A modernized version of the prayer is presented)
Before leaving home, the daughter is greeted with special wishes:
Prayer for son and daughter:
You can say parting words in your own words . The main thing is that they come from the heart, and are not simply memorized.
Separately, before the wedding, parents and newlyweds pray to Saints Peter and Fevronia , the patron saints of the newlyweds and spouses. The bride and groom can also read their own pre-wedding prayer.
A mother's prayers for her children should not be an attempt to impose her will on God.
It happens that a mother really wants to ask her son to admonish her. And what is the reason? She doesn’t like her daughter-in-law, or she thinks it’s time for her child to get married. But how correct is this?
Not at all correct. A mother should not proceed from selfish motives in prayer and try to impose her will on God.
Firstly , God sees everything and knows what will be best.
Secondly , God loves people so much that he can respond to prayer, even if it is to the detriment of a person. And who then will be the culprit of the events?
Therefore, the best prayer for a child and any other person is to ask the Lord to do everything in his own way so that the situation turns out in the best way for its participants.

Father Arkady gives recommendations for giving parting words to children:
Prayer and blessing of the newlyweds with images at the wedding should come from the heart, be part of the sincere faith and good wishes of the parents. If this is not the case, it is better to shorten the ceremony and make it less formal.
A miraculous prayer for your son’s marriage does not have to be canonical; you can pray in your own words if you don’t have a church prayer. The Lord will certainly hear. Pray to Almighty God - that's the most important thing. You can also offer Orthodox prayers about marriage and personal life to saints, blessed, for example, Xenia, or Saint Nicholas.
Orthodox prayer for a son to marry and personal life to Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker
“O all-validated, great saint, wonderworker of Christ, Father Nicholas! I pray to you, the hope of awakening all Christians, the protector of the faithful, the feeder of the hungry, the weeping, the sick, the doctor of the sea, the ruler of the sea, the poor and orphan feeder and quick helper and patron of all, may we live a peaceful life here and may we be worthy to see the glory of the elect of heaven on God and with them unceasingly sing the praises of the One God worshiped in the Trinity forever and ever. Amen".
miraculous Strong prayer for marriage or personal life to the blessed Saint Xenia of Petersburg
Both women and men can pray to Saint Xenia.
“Blessed Ksenia, (my name), I turn to you with a prayer for help in marriage! I ask you to unite your destiny with a beloved and loving man - kind, noble, reliable, handsome, successful, so that he becomes a good husband for me and a real father for my child. So that we live in love and harmony and do not need anything, no prosperity, so that in our hearts there is only love, kindness, hope. So that we become faithful, loving spouses, kind, good parents, happy, so that our loved ones are given care and love. Hear my prayer, Blessed One, have mercy, Ksenia, forgive me for my sins and help me with my request! Show me where my happiness and destiny are! Amen".
The Gospels brought to us that Christ himself read a prayer to his apostles when they asked him: “Teach! Lord let us pray” (Luke 11:1). “Pray, Father: so is ours, who art in heaven! Hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven; Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, just as we forgive our debtors; And lead us not into temptation, but deliver the evil one from us” (Matthew 6:9-13).
What some call “God’s silence” in the face of suffering, especially when children suffer, in the face of wars, genocides, the Holocaust, etc., poses an extremely painful question for us. How can God, who is by definition good, allow suffering? so many
To speak of the “silence of God” would be to greatly insult Him. God never left his attention to man. First of all, it should be emphasized that the meaning of events is higher than our Man. understanding in general is inclined to use the benefits that God lavishes on him, and at the same time not ask any questions. If we do not have the right to ask questions about the good we enjoy on earth, on what basis will we begin to inquire why we suffer?
Do not the Teachers teach us: “As we glorify the Eternal for which He lavishes good on us, so let us bless the evil for Him, which He would force us to endure.”
Starting a family is an important stage in a woman’s life. Everyone hopes that her chosen one will be a reliable and faithful companion throughout his life.

The prayer for marriage to Matrona of Moscow has special power because of her patronage of women.

Shed light and love into his soul, into his heart. How I carried him in my arms and fed him with my milk. How he always followed me, did not let go of my hand, day and night he needed me, did not call me rude words. Let the bitterness go away, be washed away by dew, rain, clean snow. Let hatred leave his soul and let his heart become pure, kind, full of good words. May it always be so, now and forever.”

The power of Matrona of Moscow in Orthodoxy
At the end of the 19th century, in the village of Sebino (Tula region), a girl was born, shielded from the outside world by blindness from birth. But the Lord gave her the gift of inner insight and miraculous power to cure physical ailments. Matronushka, as the girl was called, felt her strength at the age of 8, and from that time on she provided assistance to everyone who turned to her for help.
Her spiritual support was faith in God, which she accepted from infancy. Rejected by her peers because of her blindness, Matrona found solace in communicating with holy images: without seeing, she talked to them, prayed in her childish language.
At the age of 17, a new test awaited her: her legs gave out. Deprived of the ability to move, the blind girl did not lose heart. An unquenchable fire of love for the Lord and merciful compassion for people burned in her soul. It was not Matrona who was pitied as a cripple, but the saint who “extended her hand” to help the suffering, the flow of which did not dry up during her life and continues after death.
Matrona of Moscow died in 1952. Currently, her sacred relics rest in the temple of the Intercession Convent. The canonization of Matrona of Moscow took place in 1999 as a locally revered saint. Church-wide recognition took place in 2004.
The Orthodox Church remembers the saint three times:
- on her birthday - November 22;
- death – May 2;
- discovery of the relics - March 8.
The life of Matrona of Moscow is an example of fortitude based on an invincible faith in God.
How to ask for help correctly
You can pray to the saint in church, at home, in front of an icon or sacred remains. When turning to any Heavenly patron, you need to cleanse your thoughts and soul of negativity. There is no need to envy someone happier in marriage, or wish misfortune and illness on a man who has stopped loving/not noticing you.
It’s easier to force yourself to stop thinking and worrying about your fate in the temple. You must mentally say to yourself: “Forgive me, Lord, for my sins, give me strength to forget evil thoughts.” Then you should read the “Our Father.” The content and rhythm of the prayer will prepare you for prayer service to Saint Matrona.
To pray at home, you need to have a consecrated image. Before starting to read the prayer, a candle (preferably from a lamp) purchased in the temple is lit in front of the icon. You need to look at the candle flame for a few minutes. Seeing fire disconnects consciousness from current reality and helps to tune into a prayerful mood.
Before reading “Our Father,” you should cross yourself and bow. When finished, cross yourself again and bow. Then begin reading the prayer to Matronushka of Moscow. At the end of the prayer, they make the sign of the cross and bow. They put out the candle. Prayers are offered for a long time. You should not talk to anyone about your appeal to the saint.
Helping my son in military service
Every son must undergo military service, all parents understand this. But as soon as a grown-up child finds himself in the army, in an unfamiliar, harsh environment, anxiety settles in the mother’s soul. Don't despair! You can always help him find himself in the service, become strong in spirit and body, and make reliable friends.
When pronouncing prayer words, each mother puts so much faith in them, so much love for her child, that all her prayers reach every Heavenly patron.
A prayerful appeal to Nicholas the Wonderworker for a son serving in the army will always lead to intercession in difficult times.
The prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos also always finds a response. Who will understand mother's worries better than others? Of course, mother. Therefore, every parent pronounces the words of a strong prayer before the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
When appealing to the Mother of God, one cannot ask that someone who complicates his son’s service in the army be punished. It’s better to ask him to forgive his sins, and direct all your thoughts and requests to protect your child.
The Mother of God is contacted in case of illness of a child in the service. The Mother of God will definitely help him recover quickly.
For sons performing military service they turn to the saints: St. George the Victorious, Archangel Michael, Alexander Nevsky, John the Warrior
It is also important to contact your Guardian Angel
“Guardian angel of the servant of God (name), guide of the Lord himself. Save Your servant (name), Lord, in the field, at home, on the road, in the army, in the barracks, on duty, at the post and at every hour. Amen"
Pray for your son daily
It doesn’t matter where you do this, in a temple or at home, in front of an image or without icons standing in front of you. All words warmed with spiritual warmth will reach Higher powers
After all, the faces of saints help, but cannot replace the power of a mother’s prayer requests. Also: for the duration of your adult child’s entire service, order the magpie “On Health.”

To save the family
Oh, blessed mother Matrona, we resort to your intercession and tearfully pray to you.

Truly is the word of the Lord: ask, and it will be given to you, and again: even if two of you take counsel upon the earth, whatever you ask, it will be given to you from My Father who is in Heaven. Hear our sighs and bring the Lord to the throne, and where you stand before God, the prayer of a righteous man can do much before God. May the Lord not completely forget us, but look down from the heights of heaven on the sorrow of His servants and bestow the fruit of the womb for something useful. Truly, God wants the child, so do the Lord to Abraham and Sarah, Zechariah and Elizabeth, Joachim and Anna, pray with him. May the Lord God do this to us, out of His mercy and ineffable love for mankind. Blessed be the name of the Lord from now to eternity. Amen.
