My marriage is blessed. My spouse and I are led by the Spirit of God. When we pray together in unity, our prayers are powerful and we get results. We make every effort to establish peace and harmony in our home. Together we walk in agreement and are an unstoppable force.
If we get angry, we are quick to forgive so that we do not have strife in our relationship.
We are not self-seeking, rude, proud, boastful, or jealous. Instead, we are loving, kind, patient and we put each others needs before our own. We trust each other and protect the sanctity of our marriage. God joined us together as one, and we will not be separated.

“Father, in the Name of Jesus, I ask You for N/$______. I have this money in my heavenly account as a result of my seeds sown and I am withdrawing this amount now.
I believe I receive N/$________. As in Mark 11:23-24, I believe it in my heart and confess now that it is mine in the Name of Jesus. I declare that I have N/$______ according to Matthew 18:19.
From this day forward, I roll the care of this over on You and thank You for it. “Satan, in the Name of Jesus, I take authority over you; I bind your operation now and render you helpless. Because I am a tither, you have no access to my finances.
“Ministering spirits, I charge you to go forth and cause this amount to come to me through the works of my hands and through God’s favour according to Hebrews 1:14. Father, I praise Your Name for meeting my needs according to Your riches in glory by Christ Jesus and for multiplying my seed for sowing, in the Name of Jesus. Amen.”
Lord, I thank you for my wife and the mother of my children. I thank you for giving me such a great woman as my wife.
Lord, I declare that I am taught how to live considerably with my wife, I have intelligent recognition of the marriage relationship, I honour my wife as physically the weaker, and so I will never raise my hands against her.
I declare my prayers are answered because I treat my wife gently and appropriately.
I am faithful to my wife and she will continually make me happy. I am delighted with my wife’s body and I am excited at her appearance.
I love my wife and I value her contribution as a help-meet in my life. My wife is a virtuous woman and I greatly delight in her.
My wife is a spring of water and a fresh flowing fountain for me. My wife is lovely as an angel and beautiful as a rose. I will keep taking delight in her body and I will not take her love for granted.
I honour my wife and I will always protect her. I will listen to her and will not shut her up or mute her.
We are enamoured by God’s power and our union is blessed. Our family is favoured and it is well with us every day of our lives.
We are of the same mind, united in spirit, sympathizing with one another, and loving one another.
I will not scold, tongue lash or berate my spouse but rather I will bless and pray for our welfare, joy, and protection every day. I forgive easily and I declare our family blessed in Jesus name!
My father, I thank you for the man you have given unto me as my husband and my crown.
I am submissive to my husband, I adapt myself and I defer to him as the head of the family, just like Jesus is the head of the church. I have reverence for my husband; I respect him, defer to him, revere him, and honour him. I esteem my husband; I appreciate, prize and adore him.
Lord, teach me daily to deeply love my husband. I will not be distracted by negative influences.
I cultivate inner beauty; I am kind and gracious. I am good and loyal to my husband. I will not be a hindrance to our destiny, but a help-meet suitable for my husband.
I respect my husband and I allow him to have the last say. Our family is covered by the blood of Jesus.
I declare that I am a homemaker and a home builder. I receive the grace to function in that which God has called me to as a wife to my husband and a mother to my children. I am not overwhelmed, confused or depressed.
I have the joy of the Lord at all times. I am not frustrated and disorganized. I am strengthened in God and I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.
We are of the same mind, united in spirit, sympathizing with one another, and loving one another.
I will not scold, tongue lash, or berate my spouse but rather I will bless and pray for our welfare, joy, and protection every day. I forgive easily and I declare our family blessed in Jesus name!

I wish my husband understood this. The time and attention principle. Following God, the next person you should spend time with is your spouse! Spending time with her is so important that you don’t even want to think about what will happen if you don’t spend enough time with her. The scripture indicates that after God created man, He would leave His throne and come down to the garden in the cool of the day to commune with man!
Now read this carefully: “If you don’t spend enough time with her, there will be problems!”
I’ve been coaching couples for over two decades and can tell you that this is one area that many people miss and which the devil has extensively exploited as a route into marital seclusion.
I Wish My Husband Understood This
Consider this:
How did Satan ensnare Eve? He made time for her! Why was Eve so frail? When the devil appeared, Adam was not spending time with her!

Even while some men are spending significant time with their spouse or soon-to-be spouse, things are not going well. What could possibly go wrong?
Some men are so skilled (pun intended) that they can “listen” without paying any attention!
That is not what we are discussing here! You can be with her for five hours and she still couldn’t reach you!
It is not the time to check Facebook when you want to spend time with her.
It is not the time to respond to emails when you want to spend time with her.
Is that all we’ll be doing? Someone asks. Spend time with her instead of working?
The issue is that you are unaware that part of your job is to make your marriage work!
My lecturer told me there are several degrees of listening when I was studying for a Master’s Degree in Communication and Language Arts many years ago. You can listen for entertainment, like watching a comedy, or for accuracy, like in class, or with precision in other situations, but the ultimate level of listening is what you practice with your spouse.

It’s called empathetic listening, and it involves listening to her by imagining yourself in her shoes and feeling what she’s feeling.
It’s not the kind of listening to you do while using your laptops, iPads, watching CNN on TV, and taking phone calls.
You should make time for her on a regular basis in any relationship or marriage. This demonstrates your dedication to her. Make yourself available. Don’t allow it to get to the point where she wants to schedule a meeting with you!
What if my profession requires me to travel away from home?
There are two options available to you.
I Wish My Husband Understood This
1. Make it unforgettable whenever you are present.
Don’t fill it with squabbles to the point where the little time you have is filled with regrets. Show maturity. Allow the time you spend together to be an intentional deposit into her emotional bank, so she has plenty to withdraw from when you are not around.
2. Maintain your contact with your spouse by using of social media.
If you are not constantly available and yet do not have time to contact or talk on a regular basis, something is wrong somewhere!
You see, when you truly love someone, you want to stay in touch with them!
I pray that God will give you additional insight into this. In Jesus’ name, I come against every storm in your marriage and declare, “Peace, be still!”
How to Become Responsible Lovers. Over the years, from counseling experiences, and even from the scriptures, one surefire reason for a marriage to fail is a lack of mentoring or tutelage.
God’s kingdom is so intricately planned that you are not expected to remain isolated.
Here’s what God says:
God setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land. (Psalms 68:6 KJV)
In His wisdom, God has surrounded us not only with physical families but also with spiritual families. You must be able to recognize and stay with your spiritual family.
God has placed a man or woman over you to whom you can seek knowledge and who will be able to speak into your life during storms.

There are times when you are confronted with a problem, but the solution is only a sentence or two away in the lips of a God-anointed servant.
How to Become Responsible Lovers
This is why I am often afraid of couples who have no one to hold them accountable. I am often afraid of couples that do not have mentors. Someone correctly stated that you need mentors to avoid life’s tormentors!
Now I’ll explain why it’s critical to maintain accountability in marriage.
There are instances when couples seek counseling and there is just one way to go after listening to them.
So I’d like to pose the question,
“Who do you think is your spouse’s mentor?”
It is always disappointing when the response is
“Nobody, sir!”
As a result, I frequently reword the question,
“Who does your husband admire? “Who can speak to him?”
SUBSCRIBE TO THE DEVOTIONAL BY E-MAIL
Then comes a sadder response.
“Nobody, sir!”
Then I’d give it one more shot.
“What about his parents?” I would ask.
“He doesn’t pay attention to his parents!” Nobody can communicate with him!”
At this moment, the situation appears to be dire… since it is difficult to assist a solitary person!
A soul that has been disenfranchised is a vulnerable soul.
One of the most important aspects of marriage is the question of accountability!
How to Become Responsible Lovers
Let me close with this verse:
Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counsellors they are established. (Proverbs 15:22 KJV)
Purposes might be sincere, but when they are unaided, they can lead to frustration and disappointment.
Check it out in The Message translation:
Refuse good advice and watch your plans fail; take good counsel and watch them succeed. (Proverbs 15:22 Message)
Good morning! Your relationships and marriages are blessed!
Today, we’ll look at the signs of an unhappy or dying relationship and marriage. This will allow us to diagnose and eliminate these problems swiftly. Let’s get started.
Signs of a Dying Relationship or Marriage
1. When trust has died and has been cremated
The foundation of any marriage’s success is trust.
Create trust! Please don’t break it! Without trust, the marriage has no foundation.
How do you sever trust?
When you consistently disappoint your partner with lies and deception, trust will crumble. When confidence in a marriage is lost, the end is imminent. You cannot do without trust! Build trust deliberately through honesty.
Do everything you can to maintain trust by being truthful to a fault. Let your spouse r finance be able to line up your words with your actions! Be completely honest.
A trust may be re-established once it has been destroyed, but it takes time and perseverance.
Signs of a Dying Relationship or Marriage
2. When the couple disregards God
There is really little you can accomplish without God.
God is the one who builds homes. God is the architect of marriage.
It is a waste of time to strive to construct without God.
Psa 127:1 (KJV) Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
As a form of retaliation, some couples engage in adulterous acts. It is only a matter of time before the impending crash becomes apparent.
Iniquity is always a destructive path. Don’t toe that path!
Sin’s wages are death, thus when sin enters a marriage system, it dies by default.
I pray your marriage does not end in divorce!
I prophesy over your marriage and household, and I pray that God will protect you in Jesus’ name!
Hello and good morning! I’ll pick up where I left off yesterday.
We started with some prayer topics that every couple should pray, and we looked at two of them yesterday. We continue from there.
3. Remove selfishness from my heart.
This is another prayer that every couple and singles should say together. Selfishness simply implies failing to consider your spouse/fiancee. In what ways may couples be self-centered? Let me name a few.
Gal 5:17 For there is a root of sinful self-interest in us that is at odds with a free spirit, just as the free spirit is incompatible with SELFISHNESS. These two ways of life are antithetical, so that you cannot live at times one way and at times another way according to how you feel on any given day.
No More Selfishness Towards My Lover
a. Communication selfishness
You enjoy talking to the whole world except your loved one. That is inappropriate!.
You simply forget to converse with your spouse! You have no recollection of it. It’s understandable if you don’t talk to or call others very often. But don’t you think something is amiss when you virtually live on Whats App or Messenger, chatting up the entire world except your spouse or loved one?
You absolutely must change your approach! Allow your spouse to be your biggest fan! The most important conversations on your phone should be with your spouse, not with an old acquaintance or family member.
Pastor, we see every day! It makes no difference. Protect your marriage by doing whatever you can. You cannot truly say you tried unless you have given it your all and made some mindset modifications.
The same way for singles in courtship. Decide to ignore the whole world rather than your lover.
No More Selfishness Towards My Lover
b. Shopping selfishness
Do you go shopping and just buy your things, fully forgetting about your spouse? That’s not quite fair!
Even if the shopping is for you, make sure you grab something for your spouse. This is how you keep the flames alive.
Dear husbands, don’t buy all the electronics unless you also buy some lady stuff. Dear lady, don’t get all the powders and make-up kits unless you also buy some guy items! Be prudent.
Pray that God should remove selfishness from your heart in every way!
Prayers have tremendous power. God answers requests. My mother told me when I was about 10 years old that I would be a pastor. I didn’t agree with her. I stated that I aspired to be a businessman. She stated that she will pray, and we shall see!
When I was sixteen, she went home to live with the Lord. When I was nineteen, Jesus appeared to me in a night vision, and I was immediately called to ministry.
God heard her requests!
I will not claim that God answered all of my prayer points, but God did respond to my prayers most of the time.
I prayed for folks over the phone and online for fruit of the womb, jobs, marital breakthroughs, liberation from sexual perversion, bodily healing, and many other things, and God answered by fire!
God responds to requests. Do not give up on your partner, marriage, or house, and do not stop praying!
Pray, and then pray some more! Never stop praying in the Spirit. God will astound you.
Here are five prayer points you should use on occasion.
Dear Couple, Never Stop Praying
1. Lord, reveal to me what I don’t know that I think I know.
The majority of marriage problems are caused by ignorance. There are a lot of things we don’t know that we think we do.
There may be no development as long as you remain stubborn, without adjusting, and without being open to the possibility that you are incorrect. Nobody knows everything, not even me.
I might have written a devotional a day for a while, then two each day for a while. Every day, I am reminded that I still don’t know a lot of things. I continue to learn, read, and am open to revelations from God’s Spirit. I am not a marital specialist. I am merely a vessel in the hands of God.
Jer 33:3 (KJV) Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
Your marriage will improve if you start learning things you didn’t know before and decide not to stick to what you used to know.
Dear Couple, Never Stop Praying
2. Lord, shield me from the enemy’s flaming darts.
The Bible speaks about the burning darts that the enemy throws at us. But have you ever needed to summon someone to remove darts from your back or neck?
No!
So, where have those darts gone?
Those darts are the devil’s thoughts and suggestions. They are mental assaults.
The Amplified Bible refers to them as missiles!
The modern English version refers to them as flaming arrows!
Be cautious, husband and wife, when unpleasant thoughts enter your minds!
I believe this is why the scriptures says:
Eph 6:16 (KJV) Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Rick Renner explained that
“The words “fiery darts” are from the Greek word belos. It referred to an arrow with its tip wrapped with fabric soaked in flammable fluids so it would burn with hot and angry flames. The famous Greek writer Thycidides used this Greek word belos to depict specially-made, long, slender arrows that outwardly looked harmless; however, the hollow interior of the arrow was filled with flammable fluids that, upon impact, exploded into a raging fire. This last arrow is most likely the picture that Paul had in his mind when he wrote about the “…fiery darts of the wicked.”
He continued:
“Often when the devil strikes, his attack looks inconsequential at first, like harmless little arrows that can do little damage. But when those arrows strike into the heart or emotions, they often explode and set human passions aflame, causing a minor issue to develop into a fierce, flaming situation. The damage done in such a moment is very serious — and all of it could have been avoided if the shield of faith had been held high and regularly doused in the water of the Word!”
In collusion, soak yourself in the word, it will render the arrows and missiles useless.
Three Promises Every Lover Needs. Every successful relationship and marriage should have promises and FULFILLMENT OF THOSE PROMISES regulating them. Every relationship should agree to these promises and then work at fulfilling them. Here they are.
Request that your partner read the commitments and reply with their decisions.
Every couple should be committed to one another. These agreements must be stated in writing, documented, and periodically reviewed with each other.
What are these commitments?
Eph 4:2 (AMPC) Living as becomes you ] with complete lowliness of mind (humility) and meekness (unselfishness, gentleness, mildness), with patience, bearing with one another and making allowances because you love one another.
Three Promises Every Lover Needs
1. My beloved, I will always adore you
It should be a commitment from the heart rather than just something you say to pass the time when you’re bored.
Love should be given without conditions.
Love is independent of attitudes, presumptions, and actions.
It is merely a made-up pledge from the heart, that you commit to all the days of your life.

2. I won’t ever betray you
Your life and marriage will advance significantly as a result of this commitment.
By itself, adultery is lethal. It is a dumb sin since you are only working against yourself in the case of adultery.
Because of this, the Bible claims that an adulterer lacks insight and is just plain stupid. In Nigerian lingo, “person whey dey do adultery no get brain!
Proverbs 6:32 (MSG) Adultery is a brainless act, soul-destroying, self-destructive;

3. I’ll be there for you spiritually
What a gift it is to be married to a spiritual partner! What a blessing to be mutually praying for one another. What a peace that surrounds you when you are covering one another in prayers and walking in love at all times!
May God grant you and your spouse or fiancee to do the above in Jesus’ name!
Today, many homes are broken because one spouse refuses to agree to the fundamentals of marriage.
This morning, I want to highlight four areas that every woman should concentrate on in order to keep her marriage strong with the help of the Holy Spirit.
1. Avoid acting as your family’s head
Anyone should be able to follow the way God ordained marriage since it is so straightforward. Avoid attempting to design your own system. Chaos and calamity are the results when divine order is violated. It’s only a matter of time before the marriage breaks down if you habitually and constantly reject your husband’s corrections.
1 Co 11:3 GNB. But I want you to understand that Christ is supreme over every man, the husband is supreme over his wife, and God is supreme over Christ.
This is not in the sense of dominance and oppression but in the sense of divine order. Do some husbands abuse this? yes! However, the scripture is what it is!
You are acting disobediently as a woman if you submit to your pastor but not to your spouse. According to the verses above, the husband is the wife’s head.
Four Things A Lady Shouldn’t Do
2. Never undervalue the effectiveness of prayer
Be a woman who prays. That automatically sidesteps some marital problems. Your prayers will keep certain things from trying to make an unsightly entrance. Pray instead of elaborating.
2 Co 2:11 KJV. Lest Satan should get an advantage of us. for we are not ignorant of his devices.
We are not supposed to be ignorant. We ought to be ahead at all times.
2 Co 2:11 MSG. After all, we don’t want to unwittingly give Satan an opening for yet more mischief–we’re not oblivious to his sly ways!
God gave every woman a womb so she may give birth in both the physical world and the spiritual world. Learn to trust God alone, not man, with everything. This is not to argue that men should not take the lead during family prayers. However, every wife should be an intercessor for her husband and vice versa.

3. Avoid comparisons
2 Co 10:12 KJV. For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves. but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
In terms of resources and social standing, we are all not on the same playing field. It is stupid to make comparisons with other people or families.
Focus on your home and live within your means.
2 Co 10:12b MSG. …But in all this comparing and grading and competing, they quite miss the point.
You, your husband, and your family are put under pressure by comparison. Depression may eventually result from it. So be grateful rather than comparing. Be thankful in your attitudes.
Four Things A Lady Shouldn’t Do
4. Be on the lookout for any type of affair
Emotional and physical affairs are two tried-and-true methods to destroy a family. Never, under any circumstances, succumb to the pressure to cheat on your husband. Avoid attempting to get revenge on him by betraying him. The results are genuinely unpleasant.
One negative aspect of adultery is that because it operates with consent, it invites other demonic forces to assault your house.
Keep your word to your hubby. Avoid romance at work.
Don’t give in to the need to talk about your marital difficulties with a male coworker who you know has a soft spot for you. That will lead to a trap for you.
In secret, sin thrives. Be approachable to your hubby. Locate a confidant mentor. When immorality is exposed, its influence is destroyed.
God’s peace be with you and your family. I dispel all of the raging storms in your family via the power of the Holy Spirit. I command: peace in your relationship and home in Jesus’ name!
1. Marriage and work are demanding. I don’t have time for God. God should understand
God desires that you prioritize him in your life. Everything else can be done later. Our God is a jealous God. God wants you to give Him what is His, regardless of how hard you feel it is to do that.
God should not be replaced with your business or profession. Every waking moment should be given back to God as a family. Make time when there is none to give to God.
2. Because I don’t know what my spouse is doing in my absence, I can also flirt a little.
This is nothing more than deception
Never allow the devil to control the way you think. The devil will take a mile from you if you give him even a single inch. Avoid making any kind of compromise. Put your spouse first. Don’t make it easy for the devil to harm your family. Don’t play pranks on marriage because it is a covenant.

Four Toxic Beliefs You Should Expunge
3. In this marriage, it is tit for tat.
You don’t say things like I’ll show you. You will ‘be showing’ yourself since you are one in marriage. Yes, there will be disagreements, but you need to settle them swiftly and without delay to prevent the emergence of absurd ideas. If you and your spouse can’t communicate, you should first address the hurt before seeking God’s intervention.
Ask someone to whom you both submit for advice.
Four Toxic Beliefs You Should Expunge
4. I provide money; what more does my spouse need?
Cash is good. Although it is significant in a marriage, it shouldn’t take precedence over your family. Your wife requests your time and focus. Your kids require their father, you know. You must support your family, yes, but not at their price. You may organize a getaway, a retreat, etc. Just be sure to be present for your loved ones.
I’m praying for you this morning; right now, the mercies of God are resolving every issue in your home. God’s shalom surrounds your marriage. In the name of Jesus, there is restoration of all that is lost!
One cannot emphasize this enough. Prayers are crucial. When a family prays collectively, they stay together. The family that doesn’t pray as a unit will become the devil’s prey.
2. Avoid hanging out with coworkers or people who have been making overtures toward you.
What will you be doing at ungodly hours in a guesthouse with a person of the other sex? Although you are aware that this individual has been ‘eyeing’ you, you accept his or her invitation to ‘hang out’ in a hotel. Be honest with yourself. If you think you can’t manage it, stay away from such people and talk to your spouse about it. Openness kills the power of iniquity.
Five Things Couples Should Remember
3. Don’t empower your housekeeper with complete control.
Let her “assistance” be defined. Allowing your housekeeper to cook and serve your husband, regardless of her age, is reckless. What she wears inside the house and outside should be approved by you. Do not believe that because your husband is so spiritual, he will simply speak in tongues and solve all of the problems. What men see affects them. Your responsibility is to safeguard your spouse; it is not to trap him and then wait for him to bluff his way out.
4. When required, seek assistance.
The reality is that there are many issues that cannot be resolved all by yourself. Be vocal. Have mentors you can turn to occasionally.
Don’t die quietly. You might only need a few words from a reputable person to get out of that pickle. Leant to talk to trusted people.
Five Things Couples Should Remember
5. Flirting is identical to adultery
Don’t lag behind. Do not believe that because you are married, you have escaped. Put your spouse first. Enjoy your youthful wife or husband. Do not give attention to those designed to distract you. They will come in their numbers, but you must be smart to evade them prayerfully.
Five years into their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Scott are both dissatisfied.
They both adore God, are born-again, and have a strong bond with one another.
But with time, that affection seems to have diminished. The affection they had shared seemed to vanish into thin air.
The butterflies that had gathered inside their stomachs to form the shape of love appeared to have left.
Mrs. Scott’s eyes, which had given her husband an adrenaline boost, now seemed to be the source of annoyance.
“I just love your eyeballs, they are heavenly,” became, “Please don’t stare at me so irritably!”
Mr. Scott’s broad shoulders, which used to make his wife’s knees buckle in adoration, no longer affect her. In fact, she feels that his chest is overly big. Does he believe that when he was conceived, “chests” were sold on earth?
What?
What took place? Well, soon after their wedding, The Scotts set out on a quest to transform one another.
They were singing the song into each other’s ears nonstop.
“You must change.”
“You are the cause of all the problems in this house.””If you could only change.”
Well, they remained the same.
And in a marriage, that is the truth you will inevitably encounter.
Lord, Change My Spouse Now!
If you anticipate a dramatic transformation in your spouse over night, you will be quite disappointed.
When either spouse is an unbeliever, that is another thing entirely. Change in that sense is possible and can be anytime.
However, it may take some time when it comes to habits, attitudes, and behavioral patterns.
Lord, Change My Spouse Now!
Patience
You’ll need to be patient, though! It takes some time.
Let’s say that when you got married, your partner was 25 years old.
It implies that for 25 years, he or she has been molded into a specific shape.
Expecting your spouse to change quickly after you preach to or lecture them will not result in any change within a few days of becoming married.
If you keep hoping for a speedy change, you can be let down.
1Co 13:4 (CEV) Love is kind and patient, never jealous, boastful, proud…
I believe that in marriages, you always learn what the virtue of “long-suffering” really means.
