Marriage

Dear Lord,

As we make ourselves known to You, will You encourage us to make ourselves known to one another? To be fully known and truly loved is an immeasurable gift, and we long to experience this in our marriage. Please help us to pursue each other in love. May our marriage look unmistakably like You designed it to look so that when outsiders look at us they see sacrificial love and submission. Lord, please lead us to love more every day.

In Jesus’ name, AMEN!

Dear Lord,

May our marriage—the way we communicate, the choices we make, and how we handle ourselves in all the small and big moments—honor You and point others toward You. Give us a heavenly perspective about our marriage, and reveal what it means to be kingdom minded. Unveil the truth that our marriage is for more than just to make us happy. Lord, we ask You to fortify our unity as we aim to carry out Your purpose.

In Jesus’ name, AMEN!

Dear Lord,

We desire our marriage to be strong enough to last our lifetime. Lord, will You protect our promise to love each other and help us remain faithful to that promise?

May You be glorified for the longevity of our love and our commitment to care for each other.

Dear Lord,

Remind us we are never alone because You are with us! May we never be lured away from Your truth. Lord, will You teach us how to keep each other accountable? When we struggle with a specific sin, will You give us the courage to tell one another and then pray for each other? Make us a couple who chooses to live holy and blameless lives. May we stand strong, flee temptation, and endure together.

In Jesus’ name, AMEN!

Dear Lord,

In moments when our flesh is tempted with arrogance, will You redirect us to act in meekness instead? Let Christ’s example of humility reign in our hearts and minds! Help us to see clearly, and reveal any insight that will contribute to our resolve. May we refuse to fight for what we think is right, but rather, fight for Your truth to prevail.

In Jesus’ name, AMEN!

Dear Lord,

May we choose each other daily—may we choose each other over worry, over finances, over arguing, and over work. As we balance our lives, may we prioritize our relationship above other relationships, trusting each other to pour more time into our marriage than into family, friendships, ministry partners, and work relationships. When we actively choose each other, we are sending a message to everyone about the importance our marriage has above everything else. Lord, continually...

Dear Lord,

Please help us not to let frustrations or selfishness creep up and keep us from being vulnerable with each other. If we’re tempted to withhold intimacy from one another, direct our hearts to do what is right. Prompt us to pray when our flesh attempts to push each other away. Help us to embrace each other still. Keep our intimacy alive and passionate. Extinguish any self-centeredness convincing us to withhold until we get what we want. Lord, will You help us to give of ourselves...
