A 7-Day Prayer Challenge for Couples: Choosing Intention Over Autopilot
I know from experience how easy it is to put my marriage on autopilot, especially when you are juggling multiple balls in the air. Truth is, it is easy for marriage to slip into routine. Not because love is gone but because life gets busy and full of competing demands on your time. Responsibilities pile up. Stress sneaks in. Conversations become functional (or not at all) instead of meaningful. And before we know it, we’re no longer sharing our life but just coexisting. Living in the same space but missing connection.
That’s why we began this year with a blog about intention. Join me as we make our relationships our priorities. Choose intention over autopilot.
At Covenant Strong, we believe prayer is one of the most powerful ways couples can realign their hearts, restore connection, and invite God back into the center of their marriage; daily, intentionally, and together.
Be Intentional About Praying for Your Marriage
Be Intentional About Praying for Marriage
Heavenly Father, Our God. Thank You for bringing us together in Covenant relationship. Thank you for the love we share. Father, please help us to choose one another with intention each day. Teach us to listen with understanding, speak with kindness, and respond with grace, regardless of what season we are experiencing.
Father God, strengthen our connection emotionally, spiritually, and physically. When life feels heavy, remind us that we are on the same team. Help us to communicate with kindness as we listen to understand, not just respond to win. We promise to keep You at the center of our marriage so our love may grow deeper, stronger, and more secure, to bring You glory.
Father, we place our relationship in Your hands, trusting You to guide us, sustain us, and grow us together. Thank you for our marriage. In the Name of Jesus.
Amen.
A Marriage Resolution Worth Keeping
This year, we’re choosing a different kind of resolution for our marriage. A resolution to slow down and truly see one another again. To listen, not just to respond, but to understand. To protect our connection in a world that constantly pulls us in opposite directions. We’re choosing intention.
Marriage doesn’t grow stronger by accident. It grows when two people decide, again and again, to turn toward each other instead of away. To address tension with tenderness. To meet stress with grace. To choose love, especially on days when love requires effort. Not perfection. Not pretending. Not pressure.
Join me, as we focus on:
Strengthening our connection
Deepening emotional and spiritual intimacy
Communicating with honesty and kindness
Making space for laughter
And above all, recommitting to God as the center of our marriage.
