"Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh" (Genesis 2:24). This verse underlines the importance of the marriage covenant, where a man and a woman come together to form a new family, united in God's love.

Heavenly Father, we come before You today in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, and our Lord and Savior, to lift up our dear anonymous brother/sister in Christ and their marriage. Lord, You know the struggles and challenges they are facing. We pray, Father, that You would intervene and bring healing, restoration, and renewal to this marriage. Strengthen their bond, help them to love, honor, and cherish each other as You intended. Guide them with Your wisdom, fill them with Your love and patience, and remind them of the sacred covenant they made before You. Help them forgive each other and forgive any trespasses. Help them to have a heart of flesh to forgive and love their spouse like Jesus Christ forgives and loves us.
We rebuke any spirit of division, strife, or discord that may be attempting to disrupt this God-ordained union. We stand on the authority of Your Word, Father, and we know that "The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and may have it abundantly" (John 10:10) Jesus Christ. We declare that this marriage will be a beacon of light and love, reflecting Your glory and Your will. We rebuke any sin, that may try to take root in this marriage. We pray your will Father God.

We pray that You would help them to see the love and commitment that our brother/sister has for them, and that You would heal any past hurts or wounds that may be causing division in their marriage. We pray everything in Jesus name.
