Marriage Prayer – To Defend Each Other’s Honor

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today asking that You would help us to defend each other’s honor.

Keep us from saying anything negative about each other, unless it’s for the sake or hope of restoration.

If there is any disrespect on our part or on the part of another, may it not be tolerated, but gently corrected.

Give us the courage to stand up for each other, and the wisdom to be supportive.

When we’re speaking to others, remind us to look for and to illustrate the goodness we find in our spouse.

As quickly and willing as we are to defend our self, may we each protect the one that we love.

In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. – Proverbs 31:10-12, KJV

A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. – Proverbs 31:20-12, NIV
