Marriage

Sometimes I see an article in which a sexologist or marriage educator suggests that it’s good for a relationship to watch porn together. Of course, I disagree. However, I don’t think we should ignore the research they cite in support of their opinion. We Christians should be willing to speak truth, even if pieces of it don’t go the way we wish they would.

Dear Lord,

We pray that You would give us a healthy fear of You. Show us Your wonders and remind us daily that You are the only thing worthy to be feared in this life. Lord, You have told us that fearing You is the beginning of wisdom. We want to be wise and follow You with everything in us.

In Jesus’ name, amen!

Dear Lord,

Thank you for today and thank you for Your Word. Lord, You have given us your whole counsel and wisdom in one document. You have inspired the hands of all 40 authors with Your revelation. You have preserved Your words throughout every generation. Lord, we pray that we would be people who would conform to the culture of Your kingdom instead of the world’s culture. We pray that we would found our lives on the rock of the word. We pray that we would not try to mold Your word to us...

 

Dear God,

Thank you for the gift of marriage. We pray that we can continue to build trust with each other. We pray that we would remain faithful to the vows we committed to, and strive to be ever increasing in finding ways to improve our relationship. We thank You, Lord, that You have shown us how to forgive and extend grace to one another, especially when our hearts would rather be hard. We pray that we continue to forgive each other when needed, and that through forgiving we can move...

 

Dear Lord,

We have all fallen short of Your glory. We all have sinned. We all have gone our own way. Lord, You sent Your Son to redeem us even though we were still in our sin. Through Him, we can have freedom from our guilt and shame. Teach us Lord and remind us daily of our freedom and the grace and mercy You have shown us.

In Jesus’ name, amen!

Dear Lord,

Thank you for today. Thank you for each other. We pray that no matter what we face in our marriage, no circumstance or situation would tear us apart. Help us to have unity, humility, and wisdom. We pray that when we are weak, we rely on You and trust You to help us. We know You will always be strong, so please help us to remember this, even in our weakness. We pray for strength. We pray that we would be a couple that endures with much patience.

In Jesus’ name AMEN!​

Dear Lord,

We pray for all Christians around the world. We pray that we would begin to walk in love for one another like never before. Lord, You tell us in Your word that in the days before You return, the love of many will grow cold. This will even be true for Christians. We pray that we would do the opposite of this. We pray that our love for one another would begin to burn more than ever. We pray that the world would know that we are Your disciples by the amazing depth of our love for...

Through the years, I’ve had multiple conversations with wives that came around to this question about marriage: What happened to kissing?! Many women believe that once men got married and know that kissing could lead to really good stuff (yay, sex!), they seem to want to skip smooching and aim for their real target from the get-go. Many ladies have...

 

Dear Lord,

Thank you for loving us so much. Your love is never-ending. Thank you for saving us and for inviting us into Your family. Lord, we know that we can become very distracted and distant at times, and we pray that Your Holy Spirit would convict us of this and that we would begin to prioritize our time with You. We pray that we would pursue You like never before. We pray that we would dig into Your word like never before. Reveal new and exciting truths to us from Your word. Lord, draw...
