Dear Lord,

Marriage is a beautifully complex thing.  As much as I love and adore my husband, we still have our rough days.  We argue, disagree, and bicker.  Our fights are not threatening, but they do arouse harsh feelings towards each other.  I pray that we will be able to fight without being mean.  Help us to communicate our differences with gentleness and self-control.  May our perspectives be aligned with yours.  Show us how to live in an understanding way with each other.  I pray that our selfishness will not lead our fights to damaging our relationship.  I pray over our marriage and ask that you would bless us in Jesus name AMEN!
