For Honesty in Marriage

Gracious Savior,
Let honesty be a staple in Christian marriages. When a husband and wife are honest with each other, it leads them to be real and open with each other, and communication thrives as a result. Guard their minds and hearts from gradually slipping into white lies and half-truths with each other. These can be doubly devastating because one spouse is still being lied to and the other is lying to him or herself about the damage that is actually being done. Protect marriage partners from the temptation to exploit the familiarity they have with each other by getting comfortable with masking dishonesty. When not honest with each other, compel them to confess it, and let the good news of your gracious forgiveness rebuild honesty and trust in their relationship. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

For Spouses to Pray With and for Each Other

Dear Savior,
You command us to pray, invite us to pray, and promise to bless us as we pray. If these truths all apply to us individually, then surely any marriage will be enriched when spouses enjoy healthy prayer lives. Move husbands and wives to pray with and to pray for each other. Lead them to be open, genuine, and vulnerable with each other, fostering a close connection that allows them to build a powerful prayer life together. Build them up in their faith so that prayer becomes as natural as breathing. Through a healthy prayer life, deepen spouses’ spiritual intimacy with you and with each other, and use their prayers as a dynamic force for good in your church and in their communities. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
