Some of the most important work in a marriage happens quietly, in the minutes when no one is watching. You see your wife tired at the end of a long day, or notice a worry she hasn’t said out loud, and you wish you could fix it. Often you can’t. But you can pray.
Praying for your spouse is one of the most loving things you can do. This collection of prayers for my wife is meant to give you words when your own run dry.
I remember a season when my wife was carrying more than she let on. I had no advice that would help, so I started whispering her name to God each morning before she woke. Nothing dramatic happened overnight. But I changed. I became more patient and more attentive, and I trusted God more with the things I couldn’t control.
Scripture reminds us that God invites our requests and promises His peace:
“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 4:6-7 (KJV)
Below you will find short and long prayers, prayers for morning and bedtime, and prayers for health, hard seasons, motherhood, marriage, grief, forgiveness, and celebration. Use them as written, or let them spark your own words.
