This is such a great reminder to be more focused on what we can do to serve our spouse/become a better spouse, than on what our spouse is not doing. Thank you for this reminder!
This one is the best prayer, yet, and one I need to recite daily. Whew. It’s tough sometimes, isn’t it? 🙂
Thank you for your daily encouragements.
Thanks so much kpl.
I want to do the challenge
Awesome! I’m glad you are joining us.
Today in church, the sermon was on the last 1/2 of Ephesians Chapter 5 and we looked at the roles husbands and wives play in a marriage with respect to submission, both to God and to each other. Thanks for these prayers, Darlene.
I wish I could have been a fly on the wall. 😀
I love this prayer, and the last paragraph about focusing on changing ourselves rather than each other has really made a difference in our marriage.
Awesome! It’s something I learned a while ago and really think it’s important.
OK, LORD, YOU GOT MY ATTENTION! i KNOW ONLY TOO WELL AS DOES MY LOVE, THAT i AM IN CHRONIC PAIN CONTINUALLY, HOWEVER HELP ME TO LAY DOWN AND TAKE TIME WITH YOU. SHOW ME HOW I CAN HELP HIM MORE IN OUR MARRIAGE.
YOUR BRIDE AND HIS
This is an awesome prayer and I love the video about letting our husbands lead. The Lord has really been dealing with me about that. The Lord ordained it for men to be leaders and wives to be their help meet. The Bible says that he who finds a wife finds a good thing and my prayer is that I will be that good thing for him and that I will be a blessing to him all the days of our lives. There is nothing more beautiful than having a marriage the way God intended. Our marriages are suppose to represent Christ and the church and I want to represent Him well!!
Amen! Love that. <3
Please pray that my husband will give up the woman he is with and come home so I can have another chance to be the submissive wife I wanted to be and still want to be. I feel like such a failure and I just want a chance to make up for the mistakes I made.
I just finished praying for your marriage.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful prayer. Our marriage is not perfect especially during the first part. I was having second thoughts about changing my last name and my husband and his family never welcomed the idea. I have contemplated a lot and changed my decision afterwards because I love him so much and we were looking forward to a harmonious marital relationship. That will never be acquired if I will not change my last name.
Anyway, thank you for sharing this prayer. There is no such thing as a perfect relationship but with God’s guidance, issues will always be surpassed.
Gd day, I would like to take a 31 days of Challenge/Prayers for our marraige, how /where/when, we are in struggling moments. Thanks……
I’m sorry, that challenge was held over a year ago. I don’t have all of the posts together unfortunately. I think many are still on the blog.
