Last, but surely not least, is the power of our prayers. As we get closer to the holidays, lift up your sweet spouse to our heavenly Father and cover him/her in intentional devotion. Be mindful of her heart’s desires and his needs. Ask for God’s protection over your sacred union and for Him to strengthen your relationship. Seek wisdom and discernment on how to prioritize your marriage and share kindness through intentional words and humble actions.
A Prayer for Your Wife
Father, thank you for the gift of my wife and the love, devotion, and beauty she brings to our family. As we celebrate the holidays with family and friends, please put a hedge of protection around our union and foster a healthy relationship that will allow us to grow deeper in our faith—together. Help me show my wife kindness by being attentive to her heart’s desires and bestowing grace through thoughtful words and gentle actions. Allow me the time to savor the simple moments and just be present with her. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
A Prayer for Your Husband
Father, thank you for the gift of my husband and the love, devotion, and protection he provides. As we celebrate the holidays with family and friends, please surround our union with a hedge of protection and safeguard it from the busyness this season often brings. Help me show my husband kindness by being attentive to his needs and bestowing grace through thoughtful words and heartfelt actions. Allow me the time to savor the simple moments and just be present with him. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Have a kind-hearted Christmas, sweet friend!
