Bible references
However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
– Proverbs 18:22
He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.
– 1 Peter 3:7
Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.
– Colossians 3:19
Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them.
– Proverbs 31:10
An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.
– 1 Corinthians 7:3-5
The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
You are the creator of love and companionship, and I thank You for bringing my spouse/partner into my life. I pray that You would strengthen and protect them in body, mind, and spirit. Help them to feel Your presence and find peace and joy in their heart. Grant them wisdom and discernment in their decisions and actions. May our relationship be a reflection of Your love and grace, and may we always seek to honor and serve each other in accordance with Your will.
I pray that You would bless and guide them in their endeavors, whether it be at work, in their relationships, or in their personal growth. Help them to find fulfillment and purpose in their daily lives, and grant them the courage and strength to face any challenges that may come their way. Lead them in paths of righteousness and protect them from harm.
I lift up any concerns, worries, or burdens that they may be carrying, and ask that You would provide them with comfort and reassurance. Help me to be a source of support and encouragement for them, and grant me the wisdom and patience to love them unconditionally. Thank You for the gift of their presence in my life, and I pray that we may continue to grow in love and devotion to each other, always keeping You at the center of our relationship.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
