Prayer for a Happy Marriage {free printable}
Wedding season is definitely upon us. Last weekend, we hosted our fifth wedding shower since March. It seems that every week, another of my friends’ children are announcing an engagement.
With all those nuptials going on, I thought it would be fitting to publish something special for the bride and groom: a prayer for a happy marriage.
Prayer has played a huge part in keeping our relationship happy and secure, and we know it can do the same for yours.
Whether you are newly married or have been with your spouse for decades, we pray your marriage will likewise be long and joyous.
Prayer for a Happy Marriage:
Lord, we ask You to bless this couple & make them…
Beautiful—inside & out (1 Pet. 3:4)
Respectful & loving toward one another (Eph. 5:33)
Industrious & hardworking (1 Cor. 15:58)
Devoted to one another fully (Rom. 12:10)
Encouraging both in word & in deed (1 Thess. 5:11)
& we pray, O God, that You would help them to be…
Gentle & patient toward one another (Eph. 4:2)
Righteous & steadfast in their integrity (Prov. 20:7)
One—physically, spiritually, & emotionally (Matt. 19:6)
Obedient to Your Word (Ecc. 12:13)
Mature in their understanding (1 Cor. 14:20)
If praying for another’s marriage is powerful, then praying for your own is more powerful still. And to enjoy the greatest benefits of prayer with regard to your marriage, carve out time daily to pray together with your spouse. There is no surer way to build a love that lasts than to enlist the help of the King of kings and Lord of lords whose lovingkindness endures forever.

Hi,
I am new to your blog. I was given a handout with specific prayers for ‘bride and groom.’ I am enjoying this and wonder if you have anything similar to use in praying for your children?
Thank you,
Jen
I sure do, Jen! Depending on the age of your children, you may be interested in one or more of the following prayers:
Praying for your Unborn Child
Praying for your Children from Head to Toe
Praying for your Teens
Praying for your Adult Children
Are any of those what you had in mind? Thanks for writing. I hope you’ll visit my blog again!
Blessings,
Jennifer
I love this marriage prayer so much! Thank you for sharing! I have printed a copy and will share with my husband of 29 years. We are very happily married with God at the center of our marriage. God bless you and your family! Thank you for your encouragement!
I love this prayer, and my husband and I are currently celebrating our 26th year of marriage in Fort Worth, Texas. I will print this lovely prayer with scripture when I get home. Thank you for offering such a blessing to your readers. God bless you.
So glad you like it Torri. Congratulations on celebrating your 26th anniversary! I’ve enjoyed seeing all the wedding photos you’ve been sharing on Facebook. Such precious memories!
