Hello Fusionbell,
I think the first thing I would recommend to you is to get Deacon Millet's book Hoodoo
Honey jars and Sweetening spells. You can find it on this page.
http://www.luckymojo.com/hoodoohoneyandsugarspells.html
It will explain anything you would like to know about
honey Jars .
Now for your questions.
1)- I would use the photo of both you, You ca even make a copy of the photo and use on in the
honey jar as well, You might shrink it down if it is to big.
2)- I would be curious where you heard this from, These are two herbs that figure prominently in Native American traditions, In hoodoo I have heard of people using sage to help gain wisdom but I don't know that sweetgrass has ever really figured into hoodoo. (someone with more knowledge might be able to shed more light on this, My guess is because it grows in the north contact with sweetgrass would have come later on in the experience of people brought her from Africa) Because I am an Ojibway person I know that we use these herbs to pray, cleanse and call in good spirits but you wouldn't really stand outside and just chant someone's name.
3)- I personally would just pray form my heart. But there are certain psalms and other verses from the bible that are prayed for particular purposes. I am not as familiar with those but I believe I have heard that the song of Solomon is good for bringing passionate love, Here is a link to the psalms and what their uses are

4)- I personally would redo your
honey jar with a new name paper. Just open it up and take the old on out and then do a name paper where your name is actually directly on top (not above) his so you make a cross pattern with the names. Use the back of a copy of the picture if you like.
5)- different people pray for different amounts of time. If 9 is what you want to do that go for it. I like to pick a particular day , Like Friday for love work< and pray over things every Friday. You might pray for nine days in a row to start and then continue to pray once a week on your chosen day for as long as you want the
honey jar to work.
6) this one I will have to leave to someone else, I do not work much with saints and I really do not know much about Our Lady of Caridad.
I hope you find this helpful! Another thing you might consider is buying one of the lucky mojo
honey jar kits. They have everything you need and very clear directions so you will know exactly what you need to do. Here is a page all about
honey jars and you can scroll to the bottom to see the kits available for sale.
