Restoration for a Troubled Marriage

"Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended;

but this one thing I do,

forgetting those things which are behind,

and reaching forth unto those things which are before."

Philippians 3:13

Lord, I know that You intended that the greatest, most rewarding human relationship in my life would be my marriage.  Help my wife and I to resolve any differences that we have had.  Rekindle in our hearts the love, joy and passion we had for each other when we first were married. Lord, heal our hearts from the hurts of the past, and bring unity to our marriage.

 

Help us to forgive each other for mistakes we have made and to start fresh again.  Help me to be loving, understanding, and sensitive toward my wife.  Reveal to me areas where I need to change in order to improve our relationship.

 

Remind us and help us to never criticize or speak in anger to each other.  Help us to put a guard over our mouths so that we never say words that bring hurt, pain, or discouragement to each other.  Show us in Your Word, Lord, how to love and give to each other.  Let our lives be an example of Your love and grace.

 

Lord, restore our marriage completely and totally in Jesus' name.

 

Amen

"Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking,

be put away from you, with all malice."

Ephesians 4:31

"My little children, let us not love in word,

neither in tongue;

but in deed and in truth."

1  John 3:18
