Strong marriages are built with prayer and intention. Even the most loving couples go through times of struggle, tension, or distance. Communication breaks down, and wounds go unspoken. But God designed marriage to be a safe place of grace. It is where two people keep choosing each other, with God at the center. These prayers are for couples who want to stay connected emotionally and spiritually. Whether you're newlyweds or approaching your golden anniversary, these prayers will help you build something stronger and deeper in His love.

No marriage is perfect, but every marriage can be prayed for. If God is in the middle, your marriage is already being shaped into something beautiful and wonderful. Don’t stop choosing grace and fighting for closeness. A strong marriage is built on daily decisions, with God as the foundation. It isn’t built on feeling alone and doesn’t happen by accident.
