What it means
God created marriage to be a place of love, connection, and delight. Prayer helps us protect closeness, stay attentive, and keep affection alive—especially when life is busy or emotions feel distant.

Pray Together
Father, thank You for our marriage. Please strengthen love between us and help our hearts stay close. Teach us to be kind, attentive, and affectionate. Heal any distance that has grown between us and renew friendship in our relationship. Help us choose time, tenderness, and care—so our connection stays strong and joyful. In Jesus’ name, amen.
