›› Pray for Your Spouse
Pray for your spouse. Not in a general, vague way, but in specific terms, claiming certain Bible promises for him or her that are tailored to individual needs. You love your spouse. He or she has struggles, frustrations, goals, hopes, and needs that you probably know about. Take those things to God in prayer. Lift your husband or wife before the Father and ask Him to meet his or her needs according to His unfailing love.
Search the Bible for specific verses that fit his or her situation, and pray those verses back to God, inserting your spouse’s name in the appropriate place. Tell your spouse that you are praying for him or her. Nothing brings you closer together as a couple than praying earnestly and specifically for the man or woman who shares your life. (P.S. You can pray for your children the same way.)
And, singles, the absence of a spouse doesn’t indicate the absence of other individuals who love you and need your prayers. Claim promises on behalf of your best friend, coworker, family member, nieces and nephews, or pastor, and let them know that you are praying for them. Any relationship will be strengthened by this prayerful act of love.
