4 Prayers for a Good Future Spouse

I pray that before we meet and after, you would strengthen him with all he needs to steer clear of all forms of lust, including pornography. May he never allow that to interfere with our relationship. Help him to recognize that porn kills love, that porn will leave him unsatisfied.

Instead, may he be a man full of devotion, full of faithfulness. First and foremost, to you, and secondly, to me and his family.

In Jesus' name, I pray this now. Amen.

Father,

I want to say thank you. Thank you for this longing in my heart. I'm grateful for the godly desire I have for companionship. May that desire bring you honor all the days of my life. And may that desire prosper into a beautiful marriage, something only you could ordain.

I ask that this marriage would consist of me uniting with a woman who is supportive of my endeavors. Please bless me with a companion that sees the good in my work, someone who wants me to succeed.

Such a woman is not easily found or to be taken for granted. I want to appreciate such a woman and ask for the chance. May she and I both serve one another with encouragement, support, and plenty of compassion.

Amen.

Lord, please hear this prayer.

I exist during a time and in a society when masculinity is being discouraged, ridiculed, abandoned. While I wish to be married, finding a godly man is ostensibly more difficult today.

I may search, God, but that doesn't mean I can find. Not on my own. I've tried, but where I have come up short doing things my way, turning my desires over to you is the next wisest choice.

Lord, I know that marriage is the ultimate union between man and woman. I know that you love marriage and want this for Christian couples. And I want what you want.

Only, I pray that my husband would be a man of duty and diligence. I ask that he would be someone willing and capable of leading me and our family. Whether in prayer or decision-making, may he be a servant leader. And may I serve to help him fulfill that role.

Thank you, Lord. Amen.
