Today, we pray for stronger marriages

Lord Jesus, You created marital union as the deepest and most beautiful bond between two human beings. We pray today for all the marriages in the world – across nations, race and age groups. Lord, You are the designer of the first marriage. We pray that couples today will respect the sanctity of that institution. We bring their children and grandchildren to You. Let strife, ego, abuse be removed – in Your precious name. Let marriages be deeply spiritual and soulful unions created by You, with Yourself as the centre. Bind all couples with cords of Your eternal, sacrificial, deep-rooted love. Amen.
