Have you been struggling a little bit or a lot in your marriage and seeking some trustworthy Christian marriage advice? Well, as a fellow believer and married for 27 years I can tell you that nothing prepares you better for life's challenges and obstacles than prayer.
You see every marriage, including a Christian marriage, experiences peaks and valleys and what's important for the Christian married couple is what resources are used to help build a healthy strong marriage.
It doesn't matter if your marriage problems are big, small or you have none at all prayer can help you and your spouse have the best marriage possible (the one you desire and the one God wants to see). God doesn't want you to have a marriage where success is measured by avoiding divorce. God wants more for your marriage then just surviving and I'm sure you do as well.
I believe one of the most important pieces of advice for a Christian marriage is that couples keep God and prayer at the center of the marriage. There are many marriages that look perfect on the outside but if you could just take a look on the inside you would see pain, frustration, disappointment and uncertainty.
The good news is that God knows all of the issues going on in your marriage (big or small) and can answer your prayers for a happier and healthier marriage. God is ready and more than able to partner with you to have your marriage be as it was designed to be.
The way to get your marriage to be the way it is suppose to be is by praying everyday for your marriage and your spouse.
Here is an example of a simple prayer for a breakthrough in your marriage.
"Lord, I commit our marriage into your hands. I pray that any feelings or hopelessness, anger, rejection or anything else that is negatively hurting our marriage is removed from our hearts. Please help us to be committed to each other break down any walls or barriers that we have built up that may be keeping us from having the marriage you designed and we desire.Help us to put our trust in you and have child like faith and believe that you are who you say you are and you will do what you say you will do.
Your word says "For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks the door will be opened".
God we are asking for your help to bring us closer to you and closer to each other. Father, we are seeking your guidance and strength to help us get through any marriage issues we are presently dealing with and the wisdom to avoid doing things that lead to problems in the future. We thank you for what you have done, what you are doing and the good things you have planned for our marriage and future".
The Bible says to "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path".
