25 Powerful Daily Marriage Prayers

Daily marriage prayers are a great way to keep God the center of a marriage.

Would you like to be more faithful to pray for your marriage, or do you want to more consistently pray for a married couple in your life?

God hears the prayers of his children, and he moves in our lives in response to our prayers.

God can use our marriage prayers to unite struggling couples, heal hearts, and restore marriages.  Our heavenly Father designed marriage, and thriving marriages glorify God.

Furthermore, when we lift our requests to God, he unites our hearts with his heart.  

He gives us encouraging words to speak to the married couples in our lives—and even encouraging words to speak to our spouses.  

God can also use prayer to soften our hearts toward our spouses.  

If your marriage is struggling, the following daily prayers are designed to align your heart with God’s heart as you pray for your spouse.

As God shapes and softens your heart, he will give you his love for your spouse, and this will help your marriage grow.

Daily Marriage Prayers

Marriages in all stages need prayer.  

Satan knows that two united people working for the glory of God can make a great impact for the kingdom of God.   For this reason, the enemy aims to destroy marriages.

Pray daily marriage prayers in the morning, throughout the day, and before bed.

Here are 25 daily marriage prayers to promote growth, healing, and unity in your relationship.

Daily Marriage Prayer for Restoraton

All marriages need God’s restoration at times.
