In the words of David, we pray: “Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10).

A Gentle And Quiet Spirit — Today’s Marriage Prayer

Father, when the weight of the world feels heavy, give us the strength to carry it together. When the road is tough, remind us of the many victories we’ve already experienced as a couple and encourage us with the truth that You have brought us this far and will continue to lead us.

We confess that it’s easy to be pulled in different directions—work, responsibilities, distractions, and entertainment all compete for our time. But, Lord, we long for something greater. We desire to put You first.

It’s easy to assume that love is understood, but we know that love is something that must be shown, nurtured, and spoken. Help us to express our love in ways that bring joy and reassurance to each other’s hearts.

In every decision, every conversation, and every challenge we face, may our hearts be anchored in You.

We thank You for the promise in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, where You remind us to rejoice always, pray without ceasing, and give thanks in all circumstances.

Give us the wisdom to set aside distractions, the discipline to protect our time together, and the creativity to nurture our connection in simple yet meaningful ways.

May we not allow the past to define our future but instead choose love, patience, and kindness in all that we do.
