Heavenly Father, We come before You today with gratitude for the gift of marriage, the sacred covenant that reflects Your love for us and the unity You desire for Your people. As Christian leaders, we recognize that our marriages are not just personal commitments but also testimonies of Your grace and faithfulness in our lives. Lord, we pray for protection over our marriages. Shield them from the attacks of the enemy, who seeks to sow discord and division. Grant us wisdom and discernment to navigate the challenges we face as leaders in our businesses, homes, and communities, always keeping You at the center of our relationships. Father, teach us to love our spouses as Christ loves the Church—with sacrificial, unconditional love. Help us to honor, respect, and cherish one another, prioritizing our marriages even amidst the demands of leadership. Let our words be filled with kindness and encouragement, and our actions rooted in humility and service. We pray for unity in our homes, Lord. May our marriages be a source of peace and strength, a place where Your presence dwells. Help us to seek forgiveness and offer it freely, to build each other up, and to grow together in faith and purpose.
