Where did the love go that was once so evident and strong? It eludes us along the marriage path sometimes. It takes great effort to seek it out \u2013 to seek each other out, to excavate the buried love and joy and bring it back to life. Jesus can raise the dead. Let’s pray.<\/p>\n

Our Father,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

We cannot live without you. Our marriage cannot survive without you. But you have given yourself to us. This covenant you have blessed is real. And you have Yourself given us a covenant that is real. You bring everything you are to us and receive everything we are, the broken pieces notwithstanding. So take this brokenness\u00a0and bring redemption. Take our joyless hearts and breath new life into them. Restore vitality to the love in our hearts for one another. We receive this miracle now in the name of Jesus!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Amen<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
