Father, thank you for the time I was able to spend with my beloved wife yesterday. Each and every minute I am able to see her is such a wonderful gift. Father I thank you for the chance to do things for her, because I love to do it and love her deeply. Father, thank you for all of the people who are praying for our marriage.

Lord, I pray that You would establish in me and my beautiful wife bonds of love that cannot be broken. Show me how to love my wife in an ever-deepening way that she can clearly perceive. May we have mutual respect and admiration for each other so that we become and remain one another’s greatest friend, champion, and unwavering support. Where love has been diminished, lost, destroyed, or buried under hurt and disappointment, put it back in our hearts. Give us strength to hold on to the good in our marriage, even in those times when one of us doesn’t feel love.

Enable my wonderful and precious wife and me to forgive each other quickly and completely. Specifically I lift up to You her forgiveness of me and my taking her for granted, not making her feel secure, not loving her as I should, and damaging her trust in me. Help us to “be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving,” the way You are to us (Eph 4:32). Teach us to overlook the faults and weaknesses of the other. Give us a sense of humor, especially as we deal with the hard issues of life.

Unite us in faith, beliefs, standards of morality, and mutual trust. Help us to be of the same mind, to move together in harmony, and to quickly come to mutual agreements about our finances, our children, how we spend our time, and any other decisions that we need to make. Where we are in disagreement and this has caused strife, I pray You would draw us together on the issues. Lord, adjust our perspectives to align with Yours. Make our communication open and honest so that we avoid misunderstandings.

May we have the grace to be tolerant of each other’s faults and, at the same time, have the willingness to change. I pray to You Lord Jesus, that we will not live two separate lives, but will instead walk together as a team, as a couple in one flesh. Remind us to take time for one another so that our marriage will be a source of happiness, peace, and joy both us both.

Lord Jesus, I pray that You would protect our marriage from anything that would destroy it. Take out of our lives anyone who would come between us or tempt us. Help us to immediately recognize and resist temptation when it presents itself. I pray that no other relationship either of us have, or have had in the past, will rob us of anything in our relationship now. Sever all unholy ties in both of our lives. May there never be any adultery or divorce in our future to destroy what You, Lord, have put together. Help us to never cast aside the whole relationship just because it has developed a nonworking part. I pray that we will turn to You – The Designer – to fix it and get it operating the way it was intended.

Teach us to seek each other’s well-being first, as You have commanded in Your Word (1 Cor 10:24). We want to keep You at the center of our marriage and not expect from each other what only You can give. Where either of us have unrealistic expectations of the other, open our eyes to see it. May we never waver in our commitment and devotions to You and to one another, so that this marriage will become all You designed it to be.

I pray that You will pour Your blessings upon my beloved, wonderful, and precious wife. Keep her safe and healthy. Guide us together and give her peace about staying together as You would have us. I thank God for her.

May You heal and restore our marriage and the marriages of my brothers and sisters in Christ. They are always in my prayers. Ani, Kaidee, Ronnie, Neil, Rachel, Thomas, Amanda, Angie, Dee Ann, Melody, Allyson, Michelle, Michael, Jason, and others. Thank You Lord for the wonderful miracle of restoring the marriage of Ronnie and Tina. May you always bless them.

All of this I pray, in the precious and holy name and cleansing blood of Jesus Christ – Amen
