May these prayers for married couples be a source of strength. In other words, they will offer solace during your marriage’s ups and downs.
1. A Prayer Of Unity Among Couples
Dear Lord, we have come before you to ask you for help to make me and my partner work together as a team, strengthen our bond, and plead for harmony in our union.
According to Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, “Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken”.
We pray that you tie us together with unbreakable ties. As we continue this journey together, we pray that you bless our marriage and help us grow in love and understanding.
We ask for your guidance and wisdom as we face the challenges that come our way, and we pray that you will help us always to put each other first and to continue to build a strong foundation of love and trust.
In Jesus’ name, we Pray, Amen.
2. A Prayer of Gratitude For Married Couples
Dear Heavenly Father, We come to you today with hearts full of gratitude for the love and commitment we share as a married couple. We are grateful for the blessings you have bestowed upon us, the gift of marriage, and the joy and fulfillment we find in each other.
In Colossians 3:15-16, “And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God“.
We thank you for bringing us together, for the moments of laughter and joy, and for the times of deep connection and intimacy. We are grateful for the comfort and support we find in each other, the strength we draw from our love, and how we complement and balance each other.

Dear God, We come to you today as a couple seeking forgiveness and healing in our relationship. We recognize that we have hurt each other with our words and actions, and we ask for your mercy and grace to help us forgive each other as you have forgiven us.
We remember your words in Colossians 3:13, which says, “Bear with each other, and forgive each other. If someone does wrong to you, forgive that person because the Lord forgave you.” We pray for the strength to follow this commandment, to bear with each other’s faults and shortcomings, and to forgive each other completely.

Help us to choose our words carefully, to speak with kindness and respect, and to listen with open hearts and minds.
Lord, we ask that you help us to communicate honestly and openly with each other. We pray for the courage to express our thoughts and feelings, even when difficult or uncomfortable.

We ask all of this in the name of Jesus,

6. Prayer Intentions For Married Couples
Gracious Lord, make our partnership a great and Holy experience. Make this union a Holy place. May this place serve as a shelter for each of us, a place of rest.
Take away from us any need to criticize or instruct one another. We give you our disagreements and burdens, and you are, as we all know, our rock and our answer.
Luke 14:28-30 “But don’t begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it? Otherwise, you might complete only the foundation before running out of money, and then everyone would laugh at you. They would say, ‘There’s the person who started that building and couldn’t afford to finish it!”
Help us remember you in all our endeavors. Bring our hearts and minds together. Take away from us the need to be judgemental or unkind. May Holiness lead us instead of our worldly desires tempting us with vain dreams and aspirations.
Rescue us from the gloom of the kingdom of darkness. May this connection be a spark of light and a positive connecting rod to others. We Pray for the patience to listen to our partner and to work through any issues that arise.
7. Prayer For Married Couples To Stay Faithful
Heavenly Father, we pray that our relationship serves as an instrument of your grace and power, a conduit for your love and healing. Let us resist the temptation to turn our backs on one another as lessons and problems arise.
Help us not forget that we will be healed in each other’s arms and with each other; we will experience the most beautiful, robust, and sacred union through the fruits, as stated in Galatians 5:22 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness.”
May this union last as long as we are alive, and may we remain wiser. Bring us what you want and demonstrate how you like us to behave.

Galatians 5:22-23 says, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.” We pray for your Holy Spirit to fill us with patience, to help us be slow to anger and quick to forgive.
Lord, we ask for your help handling the challenges and difficulties we face in our marriage with patience and grace. When things don’t go as planned, help us to trust in your plan and to wait patiently for your timing. When we experience conflict, it allows us to respond with patience and understanding rather than reacting in anger or frustration.
We also pray for patience in the little things, like waiting for each other to get ready or for one another to finish a task. Help us to be patient with each other’s quirks and habits and to show grace when we fall short.
Lord, we know that patience is not always easy, but we also know that it is essential for a healthy and thriving relationship. We pray that you will help us persevere through the challenges and grow in love and understanding as we wait patiently for the blessings you have in store for us.
We ask all of this in the name of Jesus, Amen.

Proverbs 17:27 “He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.” Lord, we need to give each other our very best; we want to be in our marriage as two content, understanding, and healthy individuals.
Assist us in showing each other grace in the areas where we differ significantly. Help us to understand that we do not have to share the same personality or preferences. Help us know that a fulfilling relationship is one in which the other person makes you complete, which is frequently the case.
Help us to fit into each other’s talents, skills, and perspectives. Teach us to appreciate one another for who they are as fantastic people.
We implore in Jesus’ perfect name. Amen.
10. Intimacy Prayer For Married Couples
Precious Lord, We come to you today as a couple seeking your guidance and blessing in our intimacy. We recognize that intimacy is your gift and pray that you will help us cultivate a healthy and fulfilling sexual relationship.
In Song of Solomon 4:9, it says, “You have captivated my heart, my sister, my bride; you have captivated my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace.” We pray that our intimacy will reflect our love and passion for each other and bring us closer together as a couple.
Lord, we ask for your help navigating the challenges we may face in our intimacy. We pray for the ability to communicate openly and honestly with each other and to express our needs and desires respectfully and lovingly.

12. Prayer For Married Couples Living Long Distance
Eternal Lors, We Pray for guidance in this marriage as we are to stay apart. Help us make wise decisions and guide my partner and me in the right direction. We also pray for your guidance and wisdom as we navigate this process.
Help us to communicate with each other lovingly and respectfully and to be open to the changes that need to be made in our relationship. End each day with a prayer of blessing over your marriage. During this separation, keep our love robust and vibrant and still gain and appreciate the benefits of couples.
Let not staying apart lead us to fall into the temptation you have admonished against in Hebrews 13:4 “Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.”
Bless this relationship and help you grow closer together each day. Grant us the endurance to tolerate being apart from our loved ones. You say that love is patient, but we are finding it difficult to imagine a way to bridge the gap between us.
