Prayer

Jesus taught us to ask the Father for what we need, saying 'Ask and it will be given to you' (Matthew 7:7).

Father, thank You for the gift of marriage and for the woman You've entrusted to my care. I confess that I often fall short—that I forget the weight of this responsibility and the privilege of covenant love. Help me to see my wife as You see her: as Your image-bearer, worthy of sacrifice, deserving of my best self. Give me wisdom to lead with gentleness, strength with humility, and love that reflects the faithfulness of Christ. Forgive me where I've been harsh or careless. Transform my heart. In Jesus' name, Amen.
