“Marriage is a covenant union designed by God to strengthen the capacity and ability for each partner to carry out their purpose in the spheres of influence where God has placed them. Purpose involves impacting your world for good through fulfilling your purpose in all the places and ways God has positioned you to do so.” Tony Evans
Dear Lord, You have designed each of us with a unique personality and skill set. You’ve also given each of us a distinct passion and interest in certain things. All of this combined with our different backgrounds comes together to point us in the direction of our purpose. God, help me as a spouse to be a support to my spouse in pursuing their purpose. Show me what I can do to strengthen their ability to carry out what You have called them to do. I know You have a purpose for me as well, but I don’t want that to get in the way of what You have created my spouse to fulfill.
With every purpose comes challenges, setbacks, and discouragements in its pursuit. I want to be a sounding board for my spouse to be able to talk about these things in a safe, loving environment where I don’t try to fix it or question it or even change it, but rather I provide encouragement and hope to keep going. Help me to be a blessing in my spouse’s life so that they reach the greatest fulfillment of Your purpose in their life. Keep me from selfish ambitions and even selfish desires that may stand in the way of what You have designed us individually, and as a couple, to pursue. In Christ’s name. Amen.

Never before in the history of the world has the institution of marriage come under such scrutiny. Every day, society seeks to redefine what it means to be married, and Christians face greater criticism for holding to a so-called narrow-minded view of marriage. So what is the biblical purpose of marriage, and how should we pray as believers to preserve its meaning? In our six-day campaign, Prayers for Purpose in Your Marriage, couples can pray meaning into their own marriage, as well as affirming a godly understanding of the covenantal union between a man and a woman. 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.
