How to save a family
The enemy of the human race is fighting strongly against the institution of the family. He sees a strong family as a threat, because this is the basis of human happiness and salvation of the soul. The devil wants to get more human souls, so he tempts spouses in every possible way and incites them to quarrel. This usually happens because of trifles that flare up into a serious scandal, not without the help of dark forces.
Spouses need to be especially attentive to their behavior and their words in the family. A wife can remain silent and not reproach her husband, because everyone makes mistakes. It is clear that the modern woman is extremely overloaded and gets tired quickly. She bears the load at work on an equal basis with men, and when she comes home, she is burdened with caring for her neighbors. Instead of relaxing, the wife begins to cook, feed the family, and supervise the preparation of homework, unlike the husband, who sits on the sofa in front of the TV. As a result, the woman takes it out on her children and husband.
To prevent the wife from turning into a vixen instead of a love-spreading keeper of the home, Saint Paisius advised only one family member to go to work. It is best if the husband works and the wife sits at home and takes care of the house and children. But often now you can meet the other way around, a housewife husband and a working mother.
After many years of life, love can “break into everyday life,” as the poet said. To prevent this from happening, both spouses must pray. Ideally, the whole family gathers in the evening for a prayer rule, and on Sunday everyone goes to church together. But if only one of the spouses is a believer, then he must pray doubly, for himself and his half.
The Lord can help maintain peace in the family, but this does not mean that spouses should not do anything. Each family member must try to maintain family peace, humble himself, love and respect the other, and fight his own shortcomings. Otherwise, you shouldn't expect miracles.

Prayer for peace in the family
The Sacrament of Wedding is of great importance . The grace given in him saves the family from strife, misfortune, and troubles.

After this, miracles happened:

- They became loving and attentive.
- Quarrels in the family stopped.
After her death, Matrona bequeathed everyone to come to her grave and share their problems with her, as if she were alive. She promised to help everyone.
In family troubles, read this prayer:
I beg you, Blessed Elder Matrona of Moscow, for gracious help and intercession before the Lord God. With your holy touch, reject all family troubles and protect my children, husband and everyone else from a severe disagreement. I ask you for good health and prosperity in your family life. Ask the Lord God for generous forgiveness and mercy in the form of preserving your family for many years. Thy will be done. Amen.
Or this:
Lord, Heavenly King, Comforter, help me in a good cause, in the salvation of my family. Hear me, sinful and unworthy, praying to You at this hour. With tears in my eyes, I pray to You: bring some understanding to the servant of God (name), my husband. Gather the lost and guide them to the right path. Teach him to be a good and worthy husband to his wife.
Arouse in the heart of God’s servant (name) love for me, his wife, and show all the corruption of his deeds. Melt his coldness, resurrect his love. Don't let the family be destroyed, give us family good.
Lord, protect my husband from the devil’s temptation and sinful life. Especially autumn and protect the servant of God (name) from all misfortunes and crafty demons who want to sacrifice him and bring him to hell alive.
Instruct my husband to live according to Your covenants: to love his wife, take care of her and be responsible for her. Enlighten Your servant (name) to start all over again, to forget and forgive all offenses against me.
Lord, I pray to You with all my heart, do not let our family fall apart. Hold me and my husband together. Grant us love for each other, patience and strength to live together according to Your commandments. I trust in Your help, Lord. Amen.
Depending on who reads the last prayer, the test changes from “husband” to “wife” and vice versa, the names of those for whom they are praying are inserted.
Before reading prayers, you need to calm down, forgive the offenders according to the word of Christ. Then begin to read the Trisagion according to Our Father. And after that other prayers.
It is worth remembering that peace in the family largely depends on the fight against the passions of each spouse, forbearance, meekness, love, and the desire for self-sacrifice. It is hardly possible to save a family with pride. The husband must love his wife as his own flesh, and the wife must fear her husband, as the apostle commanded.
