“Love is patient, love is kind.” Paul wrote it to a quarreling church, not a wedding, which is exactly why it fits marriage: love that has to keep choosing patience on ordinary days.
These prayers are for the person beside you: their work, their worries, their walk with God, and the two of you together.
Psalm 1:1-3
Lord, I lift my husband up to You. Make him like a tree planted by streams of water, rooted deep in You. Keep him from the counsel of the wicked and the seat of mockers. Give him delight in Your word, day and night. In dry seasons, keep his leaf from withering, and let his life bear good fruit for our home and for everyone who depends on him. Amen.
Pray along with the voice →Proverbs 31:25-26
Lord God, thank You for my wife. Clothe her with strength and honor, so she can laugh at the days to come instead of fearing them. Give her wisdom when she speaks, and let faithful instruction be on her tongue. When she is weary, renew her. Help me see how precious she is, trust her with my whole heart, and praise her as she deserves. Amen.
Pray along with the voice →1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Lord, You are patient and kind with me every day. Teach the two of us to love each other that way. When I want to keep score, help me keep no account of wrongs. When I am proud or quick to anger, soften me. Let our home rejoice in the truth. Help us bear all things, believe all things, hope all things, and endure all things, together with You. Amen.
Pray along with the voice →“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs. Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
