if God tells us to put on the full armour of God everyday to fight the enemy, knowing that he's the deceiver and destroyer, would that not include marriages. i know that He who is within us is greater than he who is in the world but if we let our guard down, if we take our eyes off Jesus, if we don't wear the full armour of God are we not going to be under attack. we all need prayer. others that don't yet have a relationship with Jesus or are new in the faith need it even more if they don't know the bible or if they aren't in communion with God.
when you consider the number of marriages today, christian and secular, that are ending in divorce, i think it only makes sense to pray for marriages.
we come to God for His power to claim victory over the enemy because we can't do it on our own. faithful christians who are struggling with their 20 and 30 year marriages - if we don't pray for them will they flounder and fall apart?
some of us are stronger in our faith than others. if we pray for our enemies should we not also pray for our friends.
giving too much credit to satan? he is the god of this world. he is here to divide and conquer. we know that we win the war. we know that we will have struggles. for some of us it's a daily battle.
if we are praying for our churches, our ministries, our leaders, our nations should we not also be praying for our marriages.
God created marriage as a bond between two people, in love and for love He created it. with so many marriages dissolving today we need to be praying for them.
