Prayer is the single most important aspect of the search. Trust in the Lord.
Prayer of a single person seeking a spouse (The Ancient Faith Prayer Book)
O all-good and merciful Lord, I know that any enduring happiness in my life depends upon my wholehearted love for You and upon my actions according to Your holy will in all things; therefore, guide my soul, O God, and fill my heart. I seek to please You alone, for You are my Creator and my God. Preserve me from pride and self-love. Let reason, modesty, and chastity adorn me.
Your law commands that man and wife live in chaste matrimonial union; therfore, lead me, O Holy Father, to this blessed calling, not for the satisfaction of passions but for the fulfillment of Your commandment; for You have said that it is not good that man should live alone upon the earth, and, having created woman as his helper, You blessed them to be fruitful and multiply that they may fill the earth.
Hear my humble prayer from the depths of my heart:
Bestow upon me an honest and devout spouse, so that together, through our love and harmony, we may praise You, our compassionate God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, now and forevermore.
Amen.
