Please help us keep You at the center of our marriage, and make reading Your Word and praying together a habit we refuse to break. We desire to grow closer to You and closer to each other in this way. May You be glorified as we read Scripture together.

In Jesus’ name, AMEN!

Dear Lord,

May our pursuit of an intimate marriage be dynamic and encompass both the emotional and physical elements of this gift. We desire to give our full attention and full affection to one another. Give us courage to embrace togetherness, sharing our hearts, minds, and bodies, even sometimes when we don’t feel like it.

In Jesus’ name, AMEN!

CLICK TO SUBSCRIBE TO OUR FREE MARRIAGE ENCOURAGEMENT PODCAST! Forgiveness is essential in marriage — and in life. After all, our salvation is built on forgiveness. If Christ had not forgiven us, we would have no relationship with God. In the same way, without forgiveness, there can be no true reconciliation in marriage. Marriage is a union between two sinners. Hurt, offense, and failure are inevitable. But what we choose to do after those moments determines the health and future of...
