How to Pray for Your Spouse Every Day
You don’t need long prayers. Choose one verse from the list and turn it into a prayer, inserting your spouse’s name. For example, from Ephesians 3 you might pray, “Lord, may Christ dwell in my husband’s heart through faith, and may he be rooted and grounded in love.”
Keep a short list of what you are praying for your spouse: work, health, their relationship with God, decisions ahead. After a few months, when you read it again, you will see how God answered many things in ways you never expected.
If possible, pray together. Just a few minutes before bed, holding hands and committing your family to God, is enough to draw a couple closer. And if your spouse does not yet believe, don’t lose heart. Persistent prayer and a loving life are the clearest witness.
