Bible Verses to Pray for Your Marriage

It’s so important to have bible verses to pray for your marriage, not only to strengthen your relationship with your husband but also with God. Jake and I try to pray together every night before bed. We’ve seen God do amazing things with our family when we are consistent in doing just that one little thing for Him every night. While we pray for our marriage we’ve never prayed specific verses over our marriage.

I’ve gathered a list of bible verses from the King James Bible that I felt applied to my marriage. I did not explain them, leaving the interpretations up to you and your spouse. If there is a specific thing in your marriage you’re struggling with, find the verses that best applies and memorize it. Pray that verse continually and watch God work within you and your spouse.
