For a mother, even an adult child always remains that “pedigree” that, regardless of age, needs help, protection and support. Children are especially worried.
And even when the time comes to start a family for her son, the mother continues to worry about his fate and expects him to meet a good girl who will become his faithful wife and companion for life. With these requests, she turns to her prayers for her son's wedding.
The Orthodox Church preaches family values. It is not without reason that the personal life of a priest should become a model for believers, next to whom, over time, a mother appears - her person and assistant, who think alike, and therefore with the advent of children the family grows.

Prayer to Saints Peter and Fevronia for the marriage of their son
The Murom biography of Saints Peter and Fevronia is a great story of faith and love, touching and instructive.
It was these deep feelings, sanctified by faith in the Lord, that glorified this couple for centuries, whose names today are associated with the amazingly beautiful and instructive holiday of love and harmony celebrated in Russia.
A mother's prayer for her son to find a good wife, if she turns to these saints, will definitely find an answer. It will save him from making the wrong choice and help him find a life partner.
Oh, saints of God, blessed Prince Peter and Princess Fevronia, we come running to you and to you with strong hope we pray: lift up for us sinners (names), your holy prayers to the Lord God and ask His goodness for all that is good for our souls and bodies: right faith, good hope, unfeigned love, unshakable piety, success in good deeds.

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.
Prayer to the Lord
There are several options for prayer for child marriage and family creation, in which a loving mother asks God for help in choosing a worthy life partner for her child. There are very short, simple and understandable ones, which, however, does not mean that they are ineffective.
This prayer is easy to remember and just recite it by heart.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Help my son in a righteous marriage for the sake of his sinful soul. 6, 6, 6,Send down a daughter-in-law who is modest and reveres holy Orthodoxy. Thy will be done. Amen
Prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos for a son to marry
Every loving mother always takes the problems of children close to her heart. She is worried if an adult child does not have family relationships for a long time and he cannot or does not want to find a bride and start a family.
In this situation, persuasion is unlikely to help, but a strong prayer for the child’s marriage, addressed to the Blessed Virgin Mary, can be very useful.
The words of prayer coming from the mother’s heart will find an answer to the Mother of God, and after a while the child will look at his life differently and will be able to find a life partner.
Oh, Most Holy Lady Theotokos, Queen of Heaven and earth, the highest angel and archangel and the most honest, pure Virgin Mary of all creation, good Helper to the world, and affirmation for all people, and deliverance for all needs!
Look now, O All-Merciful Lady, upon Thy servants, praying to Thee with a tender soul and a contrite heart, falling with tears to Thee and worshiping Thy most pure and wholesome image, and asking for Thy help and intercession. Oh, All-Merciful and Most Merciful Pure Virgin Mary!
Look, O Lady, at Thy people: for we are sinners and imams of no other help than to You and from You, Christ our God born. You are our intercessor and representative. You are protection for the offended, joy for the sorrowing, refuge for the orphans, keeper for widows, glory for virgins, joy for those who cry, visitation for the sick, healing for the weak, salvation for sinners.
For this reason, O Mother of God, we resort to You, and looking at Your Most Pure Image with the Eternal Child held in Your hand, our Lord Jesus Christ, we bring tender singing to You and cry out: have mercy on us, Mother of God, and fulfill our request, for all that is Your intercession is possible, for glory is due to You now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
If a child cannot start a family: 9 tips for pimps
The desire of the older generation to push children towards marriage is understandable. They themselves are in no hurry to start a family and burden themselves with offspring until they are 30 years old. But some parents of slow-moving brides and grooms limit themselves to conversations on the topic “It’s time to settle down,” while others actively offer “good options.” How should the initiators and targets of such pimping behave?
Future mother-in-law
“My son is already 34 years old, but he doesn’t even think about starting a family. All he knows is to work, go on business trips, and occasionally meet with friends. I understand that with such a rhythm of life, he simply does not have time to find a permanent girl. Therefore, I want to help him, especially since I have a wide circle of acquaintances, and many have daughters of the right age. They are nice, well-educated, and wonderful housewives. But my son doesn’t even want to think about meeting any of them! “Don’t interfere, I’ll figure it out myself” - that’s all I’ve been hearing for several years now, but nothing has changed. How to convince your son to agree to meet you? Lyudmila, 53 years old
First of all, it is worth remembering that interfering in someone else’s personal life (the lives of children is no exception!) is more expensive for yourself. You will be guilty in any case. And if things don’t work out for the “young” ones at all. And if it works out at first, but then ends in divorce. And even if they are happy together! After all, at the slightest quarrel, spouses can angrily remind each other who “brought them together”: it is always easier to blame a third party for all their problems. Or you yourself, having heard their showdown, will begin to suffer: “Did I do the right thing?..” Therefore, think carefully about whether you need to engage in “pandering.” But if you really can’t wait to help your child start a family, then do it tactfully, without insisting on anything and leaving the right of choice to him.
Top 9: the best aphorisms about love and marriage
Mom, like every woman, wants to watch a wonderful romantic story, the result of which would be her son’s wedding. But remember: this story itself is also valuable! The circumstances of the acquaintance, witnesses to the beginning of the relationship - all these details will be remembered with pleasure by the spouses and passed on to their children and grandchildren. Every man dreams of meeting “his one and only” and will not allow himself to be openly matched: a mother’s friend came with her daughter and began praising the bride. It is important for him to initiate the date himself. Therefore, even if everyone understands what is really happening, in order to comply with the rules of the game, the meeting of young people should not be devoid of an element of surprise and allow the man to be the leader.
✔︎ For at least a month, don’t start talking about starting a family in order to lull your son’s vigilance. During this time, prepare the ground for his acquaintance with the bride.
✔︎ Improvise! Let a friend ask your son to help figure out the computer. And when he arrives, he will be met by the owner’s daughter, since she allegedly urgently needed to go to the pharmacy. The girl doesn’t need to be involved in everything either! Let the “young” be in the same conditions and behave naturally.
✔︎ Be patient and don’t ask your son: “Have you seen Aunt Natasha’s daughter? So, how do you like her?” Such questions only cause irritation and can scare away the emerging interest in the girl. If your son himself never mentions her, stop trying to bring them together.
✔︎ Do not discuss with your friends his reluctance to start a family in front of your son. Your task is not to force him to marry, but to help expand his circle of acquaintances and create conditions for building relationships. To do this, it is important to maintain a trusting and respectful relationship with your son.
Future mother-in-law
““All the girls are married, only I am alone” - this is about my 27-year-old daughter. It cannot be said that she is deprived of male attention. She had short novels and serious relationships, but it never came to marriage. But, as you know, a woman’s life is short, and after 30 it will be more difficult to start a family. I have in mind a serious young man who will not lead her by the nose - he is ready for a family and children. But her daughter says that such people are not her type, although she hasn’t even seen him! And what should she do if those she likes are in no hurry to take her to the registry office?

How to refresh your marriage and bring back love
Any girl, even an adult, dreams of a fairy tale. But none of them say that the prince arrived on horseback, accompanied by his mother, and began to politely answer questions from his future mother-in-law about his occupation and career prospects. Real knights choose a girl among hundreds of others, do risky stupid things (and not just stupid things!) for the sake of their beloved, and cast fiery gazes at her. How can a daughter feel like a princess if the groom did not fight for her heart, did not take her away from others, and he was simply brought to her “on a leash”! And what spark can jump between them under the gaze of their parents? If you want your daughter to pay attention to the man you have chosen, you will have to be more sophisticated.
✔︎ First make sure that the candidate is truly “suitable”. First of all, look at his human qualities, and not at his financial situation.
✔︎ Give the potential groom the opportunity to act independently. Invite him to look at his daughter’s page on social networks - let him write to her. Tell her her travel routes so they can “accidentally” meet.
✔︎ Every man wants to feel like a conqueror. Therefore, do not give him the impression that you are trying to get your daughter married in any way: he will decide that no one needs her! You can complain to him that your daughter is disappointed in men and you are worried about her.
✔︎ Don't talk to him about marriage, even if you have a trusting relationship. Let him first try to find an approach to his daughter. Unfortunately, there is and cannot be any guarantee that they will start dating and reach the registry office.
✔︎ Don’t demand from your daughter that she behave with him in any special way. Let them figure it out themselves.
Girl of marriageable age
What should girls do if they are constantly trying to set them up with someone? First of all, get rid of irritation and skepticism towards well-wishers and their candidates. Do not rush to rashly refuse meetings. They do not oblige you to anything, there is nothing humiliating in them: they sincerely wish you happiness and treat you as a beautiful bride. If you feel awkward, act as if this is not your idea, but your mothers or friends insisting on meeting you. In the end, take it with humor: why not take part in a folk game called “Matchmaking”? By the way, it has many advantages.
1 If you are not a convinced single person and are thinking about getting married, then your family’s goals and your own goals coincide. The only question is who you consider acceptable candidates. Try to give your loved ones certain parameters to “filter” potential suitors. For example, do not offer men over 40, with children from their first marriage, or bearded men.
2 Refuse only unpleasant and problematic candidates (for example, those who like to drink or are too loving). Take a closer look at the others and try to get to know them better. Many happy couples did not like each other at first sight.
3 If the groom doesn’t seem very interesting to you, don’t rush to reject him. Offer to meet in company: perhaps this will help him prove himself. In any case, expanding your social circle is useful. Or maybe you will find your prince among his friends.
4The men chosen by your circle are more reliable than those you can find on a dating site, in transport or in a cafe. Regarding the first ones, you have the opportunity to collect some information in advance and check it. In this sense, your mother’s colleague’s nephew is more promising than the lonely artist Alfred from the dating site, who in reality is a married painter Fedya.
5 Another plus. To the groom whom mom found herself, she will try to become a wonderful mother-in-law! And he certainly won’t reproach you for choosing a husband.

Prayer to Matrona of Moscow
A mother’s prayer for her son’s wedding with Saint Mother Matrona cannot be less effective and powerful. With the words of prayer, he will help you “tune in” to your child, not only to create a family, but also to make the right choice for your future wife.
Oh, blessed mother Matrono, with your soul standing in Heaven before the Throne of God, with your body resting on earth and with the grace given to you from above, various miracles exude, look now with your merciful eye on us sinners, in sorrows, illnesses and sinful temptations, waiting for their days, comfort us , desperate ones, heal our fierce ailments, from God to us because of our sins, deliver us from many troubles and circumstances, beg our Lord Jesus Christ to forgive us all our sins, without of sin and sin, in which we are from our youth even to the present day and hour having sinned, so that through your prayers we have received grace and great mercy, let us glorify in the Trinity the One God, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
Any prayer uttered by a mother and filled with love will be heard by higher powers.
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.
