Praying God’s Word for your marriage is the best way to redirect your thoughts about your circumstances and claim the promises of God for your marriage and your spouse. Whenever I find myself discouraged about my marriage or wanting to encourage my husband, I turn to the Scriptures and begin to pray God’s word for my husband and my marriage.
