“A Helpful Resource for Married Couples”

5 Things to Pray for Your Spouse by Michael and Melissa Kruger is a short book consisting of prayer prompts derived from various Scripture passages. 5 Things to Pray for Your Spouse is divided into 4 sections each with its own subsections that include multiple prayer prompts. Some of the prompts are for your spouse individually and some are for you as a couple. For example, prompt 5 on page 13 is derived from 1 Corinthians 1:8. It is titled Grace to Persevere and reads, “He will also keep you firm to the end (v 8). The Christian life is not easy. It’s a long race in which we feel tired or even exhausted, and ready to give up. The only way we make it to the finish line is by God’s grace (Hebrews 12 v 1-2). Pray that God would grant endurance and perseverance to your spouse so that they may run the Christian race with joy and faithfulness and not give in to despair and discouragement.”

I really like the way this and the other 5 Things to Pray books are set up. The book is filled with Scripture and offers a very brief commentary on the verse provided and ties the verse into the prayer prompt. 5 Things to Pray for Your Spouse has been a sweet blessing to my marriage. Only in recent years have I learned the importance of praying for my husband and praying for him faithfully has produced sweet fruit. We are currently in a season with a newborn and two other young children and with taking care of them, I haven’t felt that I have much to contribute to my marriage. 5 Things to Pray for Your Spouse has been a huge help in that it’s directed me to the Word and helped me think of things to pray for that I probably wouldn’t have thought of on my own. I’m really thankful for this incredibly helpful resource and I’m pleased to give it my highest recommendation.

“This will ultimately change the way you pray for and with your spouse”

A happy and godly marriage is one of the greatest gifts one can receive from God. I have been married to my beloved wife for about a year now, and I can honestly say that it is one of the best things that ever happened to my life. It is a roller coaster ride of love, joy, laughter, patience, and sometimes tears, and sadness. Over the years of our relationship and months of being married, there is one thing that my wife and I can attest to: prayer makes any relationship strong.

In 5 Things to Pray For Your Spouse, Michael and Melissa Kruger give us a guide to help us pray for our spouse in 21 different areas and situations of life. For each of the 21 areas, there are five different things to pray so you can use this book in a variety of ways. You can pray through a set of "five things" each day over a course of three weeks and then start again. You can also take one of the prayer themes for the week and pray one point every day. Or you can dip in and out of it, as and when you want and need to pray for a particular aspect of family life.

What I love most about this booklet is that each prayer point is supported with a Scripture passage so you can actually use it as a Bible study guide at the same time. Each page also includes a space where you can write names, concerns, or prayer items.

5 Things to Pray For Your Spouse gave me two realizations: I am not praying with my wife enough, and I am not praying for my wife deep enough. This small book is a powerful tool for boosting prayer in your marriage. Whether you are newly-weds or married for decades, you will surely find this guide helpful and will ultimately change the way you pray for and with your spouse.

“A powerful prayer tool for your marriage”

Of course we pray for our spouses but how specific do we get? What scriptures are we clinging to for them, for our marriage? Sometimes it can be hard to know where to start.

This little book is so helpful in taking the guesswork out of praying for your spouse.

It covers 21 prayer themes, with each one including five prayer prompts from a particular passage of Scripture. There is even space to write out your prayers (but you could also put your prayers on flash cards then hole punch them and place them on a binder ring)

The prayers include so many different areas such as: spiritual maturity, finances, our work and facing trials and celebrating triumphs together.

You can implement this into your own devotional time or during prayer time with your spouse.

Do you know a couple getting married soon? This would make the perfect gift for a wedding or bridal shower!
