10 Ways to Pray for Your Marriage

Have you ever been surprised to hear a friend, whose marriage is seemingly perfect, say that she and her husband got into a big fight? While you don’t want to see your friend or her marriage suffer, you probably breathed a sigh of relief knowing they aren’t superhuman or that your own marriage isn’t in shambles because you and your husband have your moments. Every marriage has its share of good days and bad days, and every day can benefit from these 10 prayers for marriage. 

Why are prayers for marriage important? For one, marriage today is tough. Our culture tells us to put ourselves first, but being married means constantly sacrificing your needs for the needs of your spouse. It means choosing to love when you don’t feel love. It’s so different from what the world tells you to pursue that without prayer and God’s grace, it can feel like we’re fighting a losing battle

Another reason prayer for marriage is essential is that our kids are watching and listening. When we love our husbands, speak kindly to them, offer forgiveness, and persevere through hard times, we provide a safe place for our children and give them something to model in the future. That’s worth praying about and working on every day. 

These ten prayers for marriage are simple, but often, simple is better, especially if your relationship is in a season where things feel complicated. Print it on cute cardstock and frame it for the wall of your bedroom. Cut off the bottom, put it in your purse, and read the prayers throughout the day. Better yet, since all ten prayers are “we” statements, print two copies, and have your husband carry one in his wallet. Knowing you’re both praying for your relationship will start creating a change from the inside out.
