prayer of young man to a young woman

i found this prayer in our prayer book in the seminary. i memorized the lines and up to know i still say this prayer every night before going to sleep, not for a young woman though but for my wife (with minor deletions and additions to it)... "lord, let my love be beautiful, let her laugh and dress attractively, let her be cheerful without pretensions that she should bring grace and purity in our lives. let her be simple and motherly to me. without deception and affectedness, let nothing evil slip into out friendship, that she may be a source of virtue and not of a sin."
