Father, I’m praying for all those in my
immediate and extended family who
are married (name them)…

Protect our marriages. May each husband be strong in his
faith, yielded to the Lord, loving, kind, and considerate. May
they all be men of prayer and students of the Word–in every
way the leaders and examples they are meant to be. May they
love their wives as they love their own bodies, and may their
wives respect and love them. (Matthew 8:5-10; Romans 12:1;
John 13:34; Ephesians 4:32; 1 Peter 3:7; Psalm 119:15; Ephesians 5:33)

May each wife be her husband’s help and support, the one
who makes him complete. Help them all be submissive,
strong, God-fearing, generous, and wise. May their husbands
have confidence in them as they watch over the household,
and may their husbands and children call them blessed.
(Genesis 2:18; Ephesians 5:22; Proverbs 31:25, 30b, 20, 26, 27, 28)

May husbands and wives be protected from the evil one,
who wants to destroy marriages and disrupt families.
Help them to live in the shelter of Your presence, protected
under the refuge of Your wings. (John 17:15; 2 Thessalonians 3:3;
John 10:10; Psalm 91:1-4, 14-16)

Keep their marriages free from the influence of the world.

In Jesus’ name, amen.
