A Prayer for Marriage and Partnership

Scripture Reading: Ecclesiastes 4:12 — “Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”

Prayer Devotional

Marriage is a beautiful reflection of God’s covenant love — a partnership designed to bring strength, comfort, and joy. Yet, like all relationships, it requires grace, patience, and prayer. When Christ stands at the center, love deepens, communication heals, and unity grows stronger than circumstance.

God’s desire for every couple is not perfection, but connection. He calls partners to walk in forgiveness, humility, and mutual service. As two hearts draw closer to Him, they naturally draw closer to one another. The bond of love becomes unbreakable when anchored in His presence.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of love and companionship. Bless my marriage (or relationship) with Your presence. Teach us to serve one another with humility and to honor You in everything we do together.

Lord, strengthen our bond when we face challenges. Remind us to pray before we argue and to listen before we speak. Heal any wounds caused by misunderstanding, and fill our hearts with compassion and gentleness toward each other.

May our relationship reflect Your love — steadfast, forgiving, and kind. Bind us together with cords that cannot be broken, and let Your grace be the foundation of our home. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
