Dear Father,
We come to you today as a couple, grateful that you brought us together and planned marriage in a perfect way. We pray that you will bless our relationship and help us love each other more.
Lord, we pray that you will be the most important thing in our marriage. Help us put you ahead of everything else. Tell me if there are any parts of our relationship that need to be re-aligned with your perfect will. Make us quick to forgive, slow to get mad, and ready to show each other mercy.Help us talk to each other better so that we respect each other and your Word’s knowledge comes through. Lord, make us one body and one soul. Make us into a beautiful picture of how much you love and care for your Bride, the Church. Make our marriage one that brings honor to you and spreads your name. As an example of your selfless love, help us serve and love each other with love.
We ask that your Holy Spirit fill our union. Please give us the fruit of happiness, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, loyalty, mercy, and self-control. Every day, make us look more like you. Let our marriage be a light that pulls other people to you.
We pray in the strong name of Jesus.Amin.
Why should we pray this way for couples?
We begin by thanking God for putting us together and recognizing that marriage is God’s plan. The Bible says that God is in charge of partnerships
When you ask God to bless and strengthen your love, you are asking Him to do something supernatural to grow your relationship and love. The Bible tells men and wives to love each other without expecting anything in return.
When we pray for God’s praise in our marriage, we acknowledge that that is what He wants most. The Bible says that marriage shows how much Christ loves the Church.
