    10 POWERFUL PRAYERS FOR YOUR MARRIAGE

    Here is the truth that most people do not like to admit: marriage is hard. It is incredibly hard.

    Spending forever with someone who is different from you is not quite a walk in the park. It has its ups and downs, its highs and lows.

    There is disagreement, then agreement. There is breaking, then making.

    Marriage is incredibly hard but when handled right, it is incredibly beautiful. This is why prayers for marriage matter.

    Praying for your marriage is one of the most rewarding things you can do for your relationship.

    If you make prayer a priority and not an option, then handling a lot of issues will be much easier.

    I know first hand that prayer makes a marriage stronger. When I pray for my marriage, I gain clarity. I find peace. My faith in God is strengthened.

    The place of prayer humbles me. It helps me let go and let God. It helps me speak life into my marriage.

    Our marriages have an enemy. The enemy who wants to steal kill and destroy wants to devour your marriage.

    The most powerful weapon you have is prayer.You can not fight a spiritual battle using physical tactics.

    It is funny how easy it is to quarrel with your spouse, rather than 'quarrel' with God in the place of prayer.

    Or how easy it is to complain to a friend or family member rather than 'complain' to God. Or how it is easy to worry about issues rather than pray about them.

    What if we turned all the quarrels, complaints and worries into prayers?

    I'll encourage us to pray these prayers because prayers are powerful. Prayers make a difference.

    Pray from a place of faith, not fear. If you are single, equally pray them for your would-be marriage.

    Begin by asking God to forgive you for every sin then pray passionately.

    1. Father, thank you for the spouse you have blessed me with.

    "Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens." (James 1: 17, NLT)

    "Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus." (1 Thessalonians 5:18, NLT)

    2. Father, help me to be forgiving and tolerant towards my husband/wife.

    "Make allowance for each other's faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others." (Colossians 3:13, NLT)

    3. Father, teach me to love my spouse unconditionally.

    "Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance." (I Corinthians 13:4-7)

    4. Father, may my spouse fulfill your plan for his/her life.

    "I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb.

    Before you were born I set you apart

    and appointed you as my prophet to the nations." (Jeremiah 1:5, NLT)

    5. May my spouse and I seek you first before any other thing.

    "Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need." (Matthew 6:33, NLT)

    "But as for me and my family, we will serve the LORD." (Joshua 24:15)

    6. Teach us to depend on your power through every difficult moment we face together.

    "I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him." (Ephesians 1:19, NLT)

    7. Lord help me bridle my tongue and not say hurtful things to my spouse.

    "Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person." (Colossians 4;6, ESV)

    8. Lord help, my spouse and I to not yield to any temptation that may come our way.

    "The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure." (1 Corinthians 10:13, NLT)

    9. Lord, separate my spouse and me from every evil company.

    "Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals." (1 Corinthians 15:33, ESV)

    10. May your peace reign in our home.

    "Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:7, NLT)

      I love this post. The impact of prayer on marriage ( before, after, and during marriage ) cannot be underestimated.
      All the prayer points are carefully chosen, relevant , covers a wide range of issues that couples face in marriage and if prayed seriously can yield amazing results.
      It doesn't hurt to pray them before marriage sef. It's just a matter of substituting a few words e.g " God, thank you for the spouse you will bless me with or my spouse to be"

      Oh yes!!When a couple prays together it most definitely humbles then because then there is awareness of a Higher authority you both answer to and with that a lot of things are handled way better.

      I am reaching out to all of you. My husband is moving out. He doesnt know if he wants us to be together. I made an awful decision and I hurt him physically. I have asked for forgiveness from God, myself and him. It wasnt me. The enemy is definitely out to destroy us. I found these prayers and i will be saying them over and over. I need prayer, our marriage needs prayer! We didnt know how to put God in our marriage before. I pray it is not too late to do so now.

      I am praying for healing and restoration into my marriage. I am praying for God's divine intervention into my marriage. I will do anything to save my marriage. I do not cheat on my wife but we do have this arguments due to lack of her commitment to the union. She has been gone with the children for 3 weeks now and there's been no contact. I love my wife ever so much and would do anything to get this marriage back on track. We have 2 wonderful children together. I am praying for healing on her soul and asking God to let her realize she is making a grave mistake. I rebuke the hands of the devil in trying to destroy my marriage. I ask God to open her eyes to friends that are influencing her. I do not want my children growing up without a father figure. I ask God to open up channel of communication between us so we can rebuild our marriage and family. I will never give up on my marriage. I work and dote on my family. This is the second marriage for both of us. I do not desire to be on the dating scene again. I ask God to reignite the fire inside our marriage, I ask God to speak to my wife in her conscious mind to realize that we need to get back and start communicating. I pray she realizes that my fight is for her and our marriage. I want the best for her and will protect her as a brother, best friend and husband. My heart is aching and in so much pain. The silence is killing me but I ask God for strength to be able to go on.
      One thing for sure, I will fight so hard to save my marriage and I pray that God will touch her soul to save this marriage for both of us and especially our children.
      I also pray for my son who has also been a catalyst to issues within our marriage that God almighty use him as a vessel to get our family back together. I miss my wonder daughter so much
      I am thanking God for answered prayer. Please y'all, join me in prayer to restore back my marriage. Amen

I am facing slight misunderstanding about my wedding as to what concerns the final date for the court wedding programed in January. My fiancé is behaving as if he's no longer interested meanwhile I've already started telling my family and friends about it. Well, I guess all I need now is fervent fasting and prayers. God bless you.

This year turning 31 in October and I haven't been in a proper relationship since 2016. From 2016 till now i meet guys, we start talking and when we are about to get serious and committed it ends this is what I been experiencing since 2016 and some time I start talking to a guy getting to know each other and the next thing I found out he is in a committed relationship.

      Thank-you for putting this out to the world. I read every word and I'm printing it so I can put it in my bible, so it's always with me. Marriage takes real work and prayer power is what all of us need more of. If you could say a prayer for me and mine I would very much appreciate it 🙂 God Bless you.
