‘Similarly, a family splintered by feuding will fall apart. ‘ Mark 3:25(NLT)

Build a foundation of framework of prayer and peace within the heart of your marriage. When you pray together you strengthen the pillars of your marriage. When you go to God together, you’re standing united against the enemy. Choose not to fight against each other, choose to go to war with one another. Fight the enemy instead of warring against your spouse. Hold your peace and let God fight the enemy on your behalf. 

When you pray, surrender your hearts to God. Forgive each other and move on. Choose to forgive freely. Choose to forgive often. Choose to hold your peace and let forgiveness reign and rule in the heart of your marriage. When you forgive, His Peace will reign freely within the borders of your home. When you forgive, His Love will flourish in your home. When you hold your peace, you choose to release the bondage of the past and unleash God’s Love to reign within your hearts. Choose to forgive. 

Choose to crucify the flesh and hold your peace instead of spewing venom within the heart and foundation of your marriage. Pray. Forgive. Be set free together. 

Couples Prayer:

Father God, in the Name of Jesus, I thank You for my spouse. I thank You for their life. I thank You for their gifts, talents and abilities. I thank You for coming into our home. I thank You for coming into our marriage. I thank You for leading and guiding our hearts. I thank You, Father, for piercing every aspect of our lives. I thank You for covering us and keeping us. 

Father, I thank You for shielding us and going to war on our behalf. Father, You are our shield and defense. Father, You are our buckler. Father, You are our Waymaker. You are our Way in the wilderness. You our our Way through a barren land. Father, You are our Protection. Father, You are our Provider. You are our Peace and we choose to hold on to You. 

We choose to hold on to Your Word. We choose to let Your Word light our pathway. We choose to hold on to and treasure Your Word in every season of our lives. Father, we will trust You forever. In Jesus Name. Amen.

‘Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.’ 1 Peter 5:7(NLT)

‘Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. ‘ Joshua 1:8(NLT)

Choose to build borders of peace And cast your cares to God.  God cares about you. He wants your marriage to thrive. He cares about your spouse. He cares about your heart. He does not want your heart to grow weary. He does not want your heart to grow bitter. Choose to build a border of Peace within the heart of your marriage by deploying God’s Word. 

Choose to read, digest and implement His Word together throughout your marriage. When you choose to meditate upon God’s Word together and apply His Word in every aspect of your marriage, Joshua 1:8 states that you will have good success. 

Notice in Joshua 1:8 it states, “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth.” In other words, don’t let the Word of God depart from your lips. Hold on to His Word. Choose to let the Word of God flow freely within the walls of your marriage. Choose to hold on to God’s Peace and let His Words flow freely within the heart and atmosphere of your marriage.

‘The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.”’ Exodus 14:14(NLT)

According to Strong’s Concordance, the Hebrew word for “fight” is “lacham” (H3898) which means, “To do battle or to make war.” Together as a couple, make the decision not to fight or to make war against one another. The war is not within the walls of your marriage. The battle is against the enemy and against every trap and tactic that he sets up against you. Use your time and energy to fight the enemy instead of fighting each other. Hold your peace and fight together. 

Choose to make peace and allow God to guide and lead your house. Choose to let God lead your words and actions. Let God guide the heart and course of your marriage. Let God guide your thoughts and hold your peace. Before you speak — choose to hold your peace. Before you act out of character — hold your peace. Before you sow your words recklessly — choose to let God lead your words and impart peace. Sow into the heart of your spouse. Sow peace and not discord. Let God rest within the heart of your marriage.
