Father, I lift up my child's future spouse to you.
Even now, before they have met, I ask that you shape their heart and character.
May they be growing in wisdom, kindness, and faith.
Protect them from relationships that would bring harm or headache, and prepare them for
a marriage rooted in love and trust.
When the time is right, let their relationship be one that reflects your love, full of grace,
patience, and understanding.
Teach my child how to love selflessly, how to communicate with honesty, and how to build
a strong foundation for the future.
Give them the courage to wait for your best, not settling for less than what you have planned.
As a parent, help me model a marriage of respect and faithfulness so they see a glimpse of
what a Christ-centered marriage looks like.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
