Prayer For Communication In Marriage
God of Unfailing Love, may we be filled with love for each other that reflects your love for us. Your love is patient, let us be patient with each other. Your love is kind, let us be kind to each other. Your love does not envy, let us not be envious of each other. Your love does not boast, may our relationship be built on humility. You love does not dishonor others, let us honor each other. Your love is not self-seeking, let us love each other with a selfless love. Help us to love each other well. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.
Relationship Prayer
H
Dear Lord, thank you for leading me to my partner. We do not always get along, but I am confident that you specifically chose him/her to be my partner. I pray that you would help me to reconcile with my partner and to bring peace and happiness back into our relationship. Humble us, Lord, take away our pride and anything that keeps Your love from being shared in our relationship. Amen.
Dear Lord, help us to remember when we first met and the strong love that grew between us. We ask for your words both kind and loving, and for hearts always ready to ask forgiveness as well as to forgive. Amen.
Dear God, we have no idea where we are going. We don't send the road ahead of us. We pray that You will lead us by the right road. We trust You always. Amen.
Dear Lord, the days seem shorter and shorter as we schedule to do more and more. Our lives are busy, so bust that we spend less quality time with our partners. I pray that we can reconnect after busy days. Help us to have the desire to prioritize special time for each other. Amen.
Dear Lord,
I pray for husbands and wives. So often the communication in marriage is a catalyst for arguments. I pray for better and more effective communication between spouses. May your Holy Spirit anoint each of us so that we respond to each other in love, grace, and kindness. May the tone of our voices represent the respect we have for each other. I also pray that our body language would be respectful and appropriate. So often we reveal our frustrations non-verbally and that also stirs negativity in the relationship. Help us to be patient, understanding and full of wisdom as we communicate with our spouses.
In Jesus' name, AMEN!
Lord, I pray now for my marriage. Thank you God for my spouse. Thank you for your love for him/her, and for our marriage. Thank you that you are a champion of marriage and you want to see our marriage last. Lord, forgive me so often I put myself first, and push you and my spouse to the backburner. Help me prioritize our marriage. Help me fight for it when it's hard, and to enjoy it when it's going well. Help me encourage and support my spouse in all she/he has going on. Help me Lord! I know that without your guidance and support I would stumble and fall. Help us put you first, and strengthen our resolve to work through the hardest parts of marriage. In your name I pray, Amen.
Father help (your spouse's name) and I make an effort to understand the source of the breakdown in communication between the two of us. Help me to see where I may have gone wrong in hearing the information that (your spouse's name) discussed with me during our conversation.
During this time of understanding Father; may I not become arrogant and start ridiculing (your spouse's name) because of my lack of understanding. Though it would be easy to blame (your spouse's name) and consider myself to be right, may I seek direction from your Holy Spirit and not lean-to my understanding in determining what went wrong.
Father God help me to remember and reflect Colossians 3:12-14 as I consider the message that (your spouse's name) is relaying to me. I pray this in Jesus' name, amen.
