Honoring Marriage



Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage.  God will surely judge people who are immoral and those who commit adultery.

—Hebrews 13:4 (NLT)



Heavenly Father,


Help me to bring honor to the institution of biblical marriage—as a witness to others of Your love for all of us—always giving my wife the honor she is due, by staying true to my vows to her and my commitments to You.


Keep me faithful to her in every way—by helping me always to keep my thoughts, motives and actions pure and honorable.

Help me to demonstrate my love for her by following Your example of love for me.   

Help me to pray for her, provide for her, protect her and hold her close at all times with compassion, mercy and grace—willingly and freely giving my life for her.

May our marriage be a witness to the world of Your intentions for this wondrous institution, so others may know the beauty of Your plan.


Help me to bring honor to the institution of biblical marriage—as a witness to others of Your love for all of us—always giving my wife the honor she is due, by staying true to my vows to her and my commitments to You.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
