Prayers For Unity In Your MarriageSample
The Breastplate of Righteousness
…make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose. Philippians 2:2 NASB
“Marriage is a sacred covenant not just a social contract. God promised to bless the male and female and their offspring if they faithfully functioned in accordance with His rule.” Tony Evans
Father, Your blessings and favor are critical for our marriage to reach Your intended destiny for us. Yet Your blessings and favor don’t come automatically to us simply because we are married. We seek them by living, thinking and loving according to Your established plan. Help us to view our marriage as more than a relationship to bring each of us pleasure or to satisfy our needs. Help us to view it as the sacred covenant You intended it to be. When we view marriage through Your lens and with Your perspective, it will motivate and inspire us to live in greater unity than we experience right now.
We ask that where it is our place to bend, grow or be united with each other on a deeper level that You will give us the desire and ability to do so. Please also provide the ability and willingness for that to happen. When we function together being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, and intent on Your purpose, we will be fulfilling Your kingdom agenda for our home. That is my prayer for us as a couple. In Christ’s name, amen.

Scripture
About this Plan
One of the greatest desires of married couples is unity. Ironically, it also proves to be quite elusive. Often, when differences of opinion creep in, the results lead to conflict, frustration and resentment. How should a couple pray in these situations? In our six-day campaign, Prayers for Unity in Your Marriage, couples will be able to claim oneness in their marriages, praying the truth of Scripture as they do. Each prayer resembles one component of the full armor of God, designed to equip husbands and wives with unity. For further help, Tony’s book, Kingdom Marriage fully explores the biblical foundation for marriage and gives couples the tools they need to foster healthy relationships.
