Lord, I pray for an end to this conflict and a breaking of the hold strife has on us.  Take away the hurt and the armor we've put up to protect ourselves. Lift us out of the pit of unforgiveness.  Speak through us so that our words reflect Your love, peace, and reconciliation.  Tear down this wall between us and teach us how to walk through it.  Enable us to rise up from this paralysis and move into the healing and wholeness you have for us. This we pray, in your Holy and Precious name. Amen.                           - from Stormie Omartian 's book  'The Power of A Praying Wife'

A Wife’s Prayer For Her Husband and Their Marriage

Heavenly Father, in the beginning, you yourself instituted the sacrament of marriage.  Bless _________ in his role as my husband.  Grant him the grace to persevere in Love for me.  Help me to be the support he needs today and always, so that he may see Heaven.  May my eyes see him as you see him and may I look past his failings to see him as your child and my life  partner.  May we as a married couple choose you as the foundation of our marital love, and may you strengthen our marriage to withstand all types of suffering.  Grant that I may die of myself and trust in your divine plan for our marriage.  Help us to be truly one, as you designed.  This I pray, in your Holy and Precious name.

Amen.
