5 Things to Pray for Your Spouse: Prayers That Change and Strengthen Your Marriage

By Melissa Kruger, Michael Kruger

There are many Christian marriage books on how to build healthy marriages, or how to work through difficult situations, but the simple act of praying for one's spouse, I think, is quietly revolutionary.

Our prayers have the power to strengthen our spouse and our relationship, building a strong defence for trickier times.

I have to admit, I’m terrible at praying for my husband – so this small book was really welcome. Far from being ‘just’ five things to pray, it actually outlines 21 different areas in which to pray for your spouse (e.g. money, work, hospitality, sharing our faith), each of which is based on a Bible passage and contains five separate prayers. You could do one little prayer per day and it would take just a few seconds of your quiet time, and last for 105 days, or do a whole section and complete the book in three weeks. Or do as I did and read whenever time allows, straight through like any other book.

‘5 Things to Pray for Your Spouse’ is a really handy (and thin!) guide which I can see becoming part of my quiet time. It would make a great wedding or anniversary gift!
