Introduction
Marriage can come under pressure from many directions.
Misunderstanding, unresolved offenses, financial pressure, temptation, unhealthy communication, outside interference, emotional distance, family conflicts, discouragement, and other difficulties can place tremendous strain on a relationship.
But when a marriage is under attack, prayer should not be abandoned.
Prayer is not about pretending that problems do not exist. It is about bringing those problems before God and asking Him for wisdom, grace, healing, protection, and restoration.
When you pray for your marriage, pray for both yourself and your spouse.
Ask God to expose what needs to be corrected.
Ask Him to remove destructive influences.
Ask Him to give both spouses humility.
Ask Him to restore communication.
Ask Him to strengthen love.
Ask Him to give wisdom for difficult decisions.
Ask Him to protect the marriage from temptation and unnecessary interference.
Most importantly, ask God to be at the center of your marriage.
A marriage can survive difficult seasons when both spouses are willing to seek God, communicate honestly, forgive, grow, and make godly choices.
These 50 powerful prayers are designed to help you stand before God concerning your marriage.
Pray them with faith.
Pray them consistently.
Pray for God's will.
And where there are serious problems, seek wise and trustworthy pastoral or professional help alongside prayer.
What the Bible Says About Marriage Under Attack
Marriage is God's design.
Genesis 2:24 says:
“Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”
Marriage is intended to involve unity, commitment, love, and mutual care.
Mark 10:9 says:
“What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.”
Ephesians 4:31-32 teaches believers to put away bitterness and practice kindness, forgiveness, and compassion.

Do not allow pride to prevent reconciliation.
Bring your marriage before God.
