7 Prayers to Grow Your MarriageSample

Loving your spouse well doesn’t mean you put them on a pedestal, expect them to be everything you need, or try to change them. Love means you see them as God does. He created your spouse, on purpose, for a purpose, and loves them deeply. He uniquely gifted them with their personality, skills, talents and temperament. And loving them well also means allowing them room to be human and being willing to give grace for their imperfections.

In marriage, it’s so encouraging to notice and appreciate the unique ways that God has made each of you uniquely suited to complement each other. You are stronger as a pair than either of you would be alone. If you are total opposites, let go of trying to change them and instead thank God for the ways that you balance one another well. If you are very compatible, thank God for the commonalities you enjoy.

Today, notice and appreciate the unique ways God created your spouse. Thank Him for the gift your spouse is to you.

Prayer: Lord, I pray that you will help me to see my spouse as you do. Help me to remember that they are your child, uniquely created and dearly loved. Help me to encourage their strengths and point them toward you. Thank-you that you designed each of us according to your purpose and plan. I pray you will help us to live that out each day.
