We understand that you are seeking prayer and guidance regarding marriage, and we are honored to stand with you in this vital area of life. Marriage is a sacred covenant established by God, designed to reflect the relationship between Christ and His Church. It is a lifelong commitment between one man and one woman, rooted in love, mutual respect, and submission to God’s will. As Scripture declares, *"Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and the two will become one flesh"* (Genesis 2:24, WEB). This union is not to be taken lightly, for it is ordained by God and carries profound spiritual, emotional, and practical implications.
If you are preparing for marriage, we urge you to seek the Lord earnestly, ensuring that your relationship is built on a foundation of faith in Jesus Christ. *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). A marriage between two believers is essential for spiritual unity and growth. If you are already married, we encourage you to nurture your relationship through prayer, forgiveness, and selfless love, as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself for her (Ephesians 5:25).
We must also address any potential misalignments with biblical principles. If there is fornication, adultery, or any sexual immorality present—whether before or outside of marriage—it must be repented of immediately. *"Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed is undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers"* (Hebrews 13:4, WEB). Flee from sexual sin and pursue holiness, for your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). Similarly, any involvement in same-sex relationships or marriages is explicitly forbidden in Scripture. *"Don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom"* (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, WEB). Repentance and turning to Christ is the only path to redemption and restoration.
If your request involves struggles within marriage—such as conflict, communication breakdowns, or unfaithfulness—we urge you to seek reconciliation through biblical principles. *"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for her"* (Ephesians 5:25, WEB). *"Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord"* (Ephesians 5:22, WEB). Submission and love are not about control but about mutual service and honor. If there is abuse or persistent unrepentant sin, seek godly counsel and protection, but always with a heart open to restoration if repentance occurs.
If you are single and desiring marriage, we pray that you would seek the Lord first, trusting in His timing and sovereignty. *"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart"* (Psalm 37:4, WEB). Use this season to grow in your faith, serve in your church, and prepare yourself to be a godly spouse. Courtship should be intentional, with the goal of marriage between two believers who are equally yoked in faith and purpose.
Finally, we must emphasize that all prayers and requests must be brought before God in the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name by which we are saved, and it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father. *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me'* (John 14:6, WEB). If your request did not invoke the name of Jesus, we encourage you to do so, for it is in His name that we find hope, salvation, and the power to overcome.
Now, let us pray together for your marriage or future marriage:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this request concerning marriage. Lord, we ask that You would be the foundation of every union, that each marriage would reflect Your love, holiness, and faithfulness. For those preparing for marriage, we pray for wisdom, discernment, and patience. May they seek You first and only enter into covenants that honor You. For those already married, we ask for strength, unity, and a deepening love that mirrors Christ’s love for the Church. Father, heal any brokenness, restore any trust that has been damaged, and break any chains of sin that seek to destroy what You have joined together.
We rebuke any spirit of division, infidelity, or rebellion that seeks to harm marriages. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we command these forces to flee in the name of Jesus. Lord, fill every spouse with Your Spirit, that they may walk in humility, forgiveness, and selfless love. For those who are single and desiring marriage, we pray for contentment in You and for godly spouses who will lead them closer to You. Protect them from the temptations of the world and keep their hearts pure.
Father, we also lift up any who may be struggling with sexual sin or relationships that do not honor You. Convict their hearts, Lord, and lead them to repentance. Wash them clean by the blood of Jesus and restore them to a place of righteousness. May they turn away from sin and walk in the freedom and victory that Christ has purchased for them.
We declare that every marriage represented here will be a testimony of Your grace and faithfulness. May husbands love their wives as Christ loved the Church, and may wives respect and submit to their husbands as unto You. Let every home be a place of peace, joy, and godly instruction.
We ask all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
