Powerful Prayers for Marriages

 

1. A Prayer for Renewed Love and Unity in Our Marriage Relationship...

​

​Dear Heavenly Father,

​

I am grateful for my marriage today, especially for my spouse who loves You and serves You with their whole heart. I pray that Your divine purposes would be fulfilled in us and through us as we let You work in our hearts every day. May we draw closer to You and to one another with chords of love that bind our hearts together. May we become a strong team, ready and willing to serve You.

​

Help us to be our very best at all times, letting love cover our offenses and transgressions. May we be mindful of each other's needs and always be ready to offer a loving touch or give a kind word. Help us to respect the God-given positions of husband and wife, and guide and direct us in wisdom as we care for each other. 

​

Meet with both of us today as we go about our day, watch over us, and bless us with Your goodness.

​

Thank You so much for hearing this prayer.

​

Amen

3. A Prayer for Unity, Faithfulness, and God's Protection Over Our Marriage...

​

​Heavenly Father,

​

My heart comes to You, seeking Your wisdom and gentle ways. I know that only You can bind broken hearts and heal deep spiritual and emotional wounds. For there is no counselor on earth that can speak directly into our marriage like You can. Scripture states that Your ways are higher than our ways, and Your thoughts are higher than our thoughts.

​

Please speak to me from above as I seek Your face today. Speak to my spouse as well, and point us in the path we should take, the words we should say, and the choices we should make together. Above all, we want to do what is right. Keep us, O Lord, protect our relationship from evil influences. Unite us, O Lord, I pray. Bring us together through Your perfect and mature love.

​

Please help me understand my spouse and why they do the things they do. My heart's desire is to be complete in my marriage and be united in purpose with my spouse. But, I get so upset with them sometimes.

 

Help me, O Lord, through Your Holy Spirit, and Your Holy Word, help me to know how I should act, and what I should say. Give me a heavenly perspective of my spouse. I know You love them, too. Reveal to my heart ways I can be more understanding of my spouse, and express kindness and compassion in a way that causes love to flourish and healing to flow.

​

Lord, unite our hearts to fear Your name so we can walk in Your ways all the days of our marriage. Lord, we desire a full and happy life together. Bless our union today, and above all, may we honor You in all we say and do.

​

In Your Precious Name,

​

Amen.

4. A Prayer for Help in Our Marriage Relationship...

​

​

Father in Heaven, I come to You on behalf of my desire to restore unity and love within my marriage. Lord, You are fully aware of both me and my husband and understand our weaknesses and strengths.

 

Father, I pray both of us will realize we are better together. Lord, cleanse our marriage relationship from bitterness, rejection, and hurt, and let Your spirit of forgiveness flow through our hearts and home.

 

Allow there to be newness in our marriage and a shared desire to work things out. Bless us today with hope for the future of our marriage and may we continue to look to You for strength and wisdom in this matter.

 

We ask all of these things in Your precious name,

 

amen.
