Marriage

```markdown


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...

 

Dear Lord,

Thank you so much for my each other. We pray that we would encourage each other spiritually today and every day. Help us to point one another toward Your truth when we feel discouraged. We pray that we would remind each other of our worth when we feel worthless. Lord, use us to encourage one another’s faith in You. Use us to encourage each other to be in Your word. Use us to build one another up on a daily basis.

In Jesus’ name, amen!

Dear Lord,

Thank you for sending your son Jesus to set us free from the bondage of sin so that we would no longer be separated from You. Lord, we pray that husbands and wives would dwell on the truth that You set us free. You have given us new life and life more abundantly. Take away our shame and our guilt and teach us to walk before You in uprightness and integrity. Remind us daily as believers that we are your sons, and daughters, and co-heirs with Christ. Lord, You are good. Thank you...

 

Dear Lord,

Thank you for children. Thank you for the blessing and gift that they are. We know raising children is not always fun and not always easy, but it is so wonderful being a parent.

We pray that You would give them wisdom to raise their child to know you, Lord. We pray they would have patience and...

Dear Lord,

Thank you for creating sex. Thank you for giving a gift such as this boundaries, so that it would be held in honor and sanctity. Lord, we pray for every marriage that is struggling in the area of physical intimacy. We pray that husbands and wives would both yield their hearts to You and seek Your heart for this.

Dear Lord,

We pray for families that are currently sick. We pray that You would bring healing quickly. We pray that You would give patience where patience is needed, and comfort where comfort is needed. Lord, give wisdom to know how to take care of the sick, whether or not to go to the doctor, or to treat at home. Thank you that You have given us such remarkable bodies that can heal and get stronger. You are a good God and we pray that we would remember that even when we are sick.

Dear Lord,

We pray for every husband and wife that are in bondage to sin. We pray that You would break every chain and draw them near to You through Your son Jesus. Lord, use a brother or sister in Christ to speak into their lives or speak to their hearts directly with your Holy Spirit. Revive the hearts in marriages around the world. We don’t ask for freedom simply for the sake of their marriages, but rather for the sake of their relationship with You. Bring healing and restoration to the...
