Do you sometimes struggle with how to pray for your marriage? In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the five powerful ways you can cover your marriage in prayer—and how to actually pray with confidence, intention, and results. Whether you're a seasoned prayer warrior or just starting out, you’ll leave with a super-practical template that makes praying for your spouse simple and heartfelt.

In today’s “sweet repeat,” I guide you through the acronym COVER: Compassion, Oneness, Vigor, Expectation, and Readiness, and show you how to apply each one as you pray over your relationship. Get ready to move beyond the typical “help my spouse have a good day” and into deeper, more meaningful prayers that can transform your connection.

Key Takeaways:
Why prayer is essential for your marriage: It’s not just about doing all the right things or attending another marriage conference, but about inviting God to truly work in your relationship.
How COMPASSION sets the tone: Start from a place of humility and empathy, not judgment or resentment.
The power of ONENESS: Discover how unity in marriage is a living witness to the world and why praying for oneness is so important.
Why VIGOR matters: Bring energy, enthusiasm, and genuine effort into your prayers, even when you feel weary.
Praying with EXPECTATION: Approach God believing He hears you and wants to respond to your faith-filled prayers.
The importance of READINESS: Prayer isn’t a monologue; prepare to hear from God—and be open to what He might ask you to do!

I’ll also share practical prayer topics—like unity, wisdom, protection, strength, resilience, and peace—to help you get started or go deeper in your prayer life.
