Commitment of marriage in relationship

We lift your request before the Lord and are encouraged that you seek His will for your relationship. First, we must address a critical matter: the language you’ve used—"relationship"—does not fully reflect the biblical design for a man and a woman. Scripture teaches that marriage is the only God-ordained covenant for a lifelong, intimate union between a man and a woman, as established in Genesis 2:24: *"Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh."* If you are not yet married, we urge you to pursue this relationship as a courtship with the clear and intentional goal of marriage, conducted in purity and under the authority of God’s Word.
If you are living together or engaging in physical intimacy outside of marriage, we must lovingly but firmly rebuke this as sin. Hebrews 13:4 declares, *"Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers."* Fornication (sex outside of marriage) and cohabitation without marriage are direct violations of God’s holy design and will bring spiritual harm, emotional pain, and relational instability. If this applies to you, we urge you to repent, turn away from this sin, and seek accountability within a biblical community. There is no true blessing or protection from God outside of His commands.
If you are already married, we rejoice and pray for the strengthening of your covenant. Marriage is a sacred reflection of Christ’s love for His Church (Ephesians 5:22-33), and it requires selfless love, forgiveness, and submission to God’s will. Colossians 3:14 reminds us, *"Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection."* If there has been brokenness, infidelity, or hardness of heart, know that God is faithful to heal and restore when we humble ourselves before Him. 1 Peter 4:8 says, *"And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins."*
We also notice that your prayer does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have access to the Father. Jesus Himself said in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* There is no other name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through faith in Christ that we can approach God’s throne with confidence (Hebrews 4:16). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus as Lord and Savior, we implore you to do so now. Romans 10:9-10 declares, *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."*
Now, let us pray for you in the name of Jesus:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting this couple to Your throne of grace. Lord, we ask that You would open their eyes to Your perfect design for marriage and relationships. If they are not yet married, convict them of any sin in their relationship and lead them to repentance and purity. Give them wisdom to pursue courtship with marriage as the godly goal, or if they are unequally yoked with an unbeliever, grant them the strength to obey Your Word and separate (2 Corinthians 6:14). If they are married, renew their commitment to one another and to You, binding their hearts together in love, forgiveness, and unity.
Heal every wound, Lord—whether from past hurts, betrayal, or the consequences of sin. Soften their hearts toward one another and toward You. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in love, patience, and humility. Teach them to pray together, to seek Your will in all things, and to build their relationship on the foundation of Your Word. Remove any idols, distractions, or worldly influences that would hinder their obedience to You.
Father, we rebuke any spiritual attack against this relationship. If there is division, bitterness, or temptation, we command it to flee in Jesus’ name. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). May they seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that You will provide all they need (Matthew 6:33).
If either of them does not know You as Savior, Lord, draw them to Yourself today. Reveal the truth of the Gospel to them—that Jesus died for their sins and rose again, and that salvation is found in no one else. Give them hearts of flesh to receive Your love and grace.
We declare Your promises over them: that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that they ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). May their relationship bring glory to Your name and be a testimony of Your faithfulness.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to examine your relationship in light of Scripture and take any necessary steps to align it with God’s will. Seek counsel from a mature, biblical pastor or mentor who can guide you in wisdom. Study God’s Word together, pray fervently, and trust that He is faithful to complete the work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6). If you need further clarification or prayer, do not hesitate to reach out. We are here to stand with you in truth and love.
