Prayer to Save a Marriage: Your Personal Support System

There is a common phrase used to taunt a person approaching defeat, the phrase being, “You don’t have a prayer.” This phrase reflects just how important a prayer is to validate any kind of situation, and in your case, saving your marriage.

Praying to save your relationship is not an isolated commitment. Your decision to pray is strengthened by your daily activities otherwise as well. I am going to share the ways you can complement your prayer with other acts bringing you closer to your faith, God, and your partner in retrospect.

1. Focus on what you want.

Ask yourself who you want to be, what you must do in order to be that person, and all that you will have once you have become exactly that. Live in that person’s shoes, the one who is happy with her husband, smiling to herself, and doing her everyday tasks with excellence.

2. Do good to others.

The best form of charity is a smile. Nearly every religion in the world professes you to treat others as you would like to be treated yourself. Treat all people with kindness and mercy, imagining them to be in similar roles as yourself, as a wife, husband, parent, offspring, sibling or friend and show consideration for their shortcomings.

You will benefit from God’s mercy when you show mercy to the rest of His creation and the best way to start is with those around you.

3. Seek forgiveness.

The best thing about repentance is that no one has to know what you are repenting for. List down the things you regret and vow not to repeat and ask for forgiveness in each prayer for those things particularly. Your specific repentance will make you wary of repeating your mistakes in the future.

4. Give thanks.

Those who are happily married are always thankful. You may be aware of the elements in your marriage that you seek. Think in effect of all that you already have that others may yearn for.

Remember to give thanks for that which you currently possess so God increases you in what you are thankful for, and helps you retain your focus on all that is and can be, instead of all that is not.

Praying is a state of mind and a conscious decision.

It is not personal nor professional in nature, and so it cannot be restricted to moods or times of the day. Learn to include prayer in your typical day – you will find yourself relying on it at times of distress and in times of happiness as well.

Not an expert in your marriage? Then today is your luckiest day. It’s going to be a little tough, but one you’ve done it – it will seem like a piece of cake. That’s why nobody talks about this when you are getting married. Because most people want you to believe that a great marriage is a turn-key overnight solution.
