30 - Love brings unity
John 17 vs 11 : Now i am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and i come to you. holy father, keep through your name those whom you have given me, that they may be one as we are.

Isolate one area of division in your marriage, and look on today as a fresh opportunity to pray about it. Ask the Lord to reveal anything in your own heart that is threatening oneness with your spouse. Pray that He would do the same for them. And if appropriate, discuss this matter openly, seeking God for unity.

shes seeking external validation... and my heart has strayed from the Lord. Praying for the Spirit to work in both of our hearts.



plans to US cause disunity among us as I am seeing with jealously with covet to other people's life instead of looking to happiness inside with God and my Wife.



unity for us is disccussing the truth



my husband and i were supposed to start this journey and do it together. he stopped at day 5, i am on day 30. i have been praying almost non stop. he is so distant and i feel so alone in our marriage.please pray for us.



I am struggling hard right now. on day 30 of this love dare and it seems im further away from the goal than when began. ive been getting closer to God, and trying to have faith. its so hard though.

Stay strong and keep leaning on God it's tough but follow him.

Prayer is the key to everything. Lean on God during this time remember couples make it back together all the time. Seek God's infinite wisdom and council. Stay Hopeful always. Pray that God can help you two communicate instead of persuing this process.


This is something I really need to work on. Even 5 years into marriage I have a very hard time letting him be the leader. Why? I am the income, do 90% of the cooking and cleaning. But I need to honor God by honoring him as the man and the leader.

Bot necessarily true. A couple works as an equal. We compromise in differences. Breadwinner no longer means your in charge. But I'm glad to see you trying. Prayers


i forgive him but I keep having trust issues. not because he is doing anything to make me doubt him I just dont fully trust. i dont know how to fully trust. its so frustrating

Lord, im praying 🙏 that you Change the attitude of my wife, the cussing, fussing, guide her tongue. Save her and take away her anger and past hurt, and PLEASE BLESS US WITH OUR HEART DESIRES TO HAVE A CHILD SHE BADLY WANTS A CHILD BY HER HUSBAND



I seek so badly to be able to have deep conversations with him, but he seems to be on another level, especially with the Bible. if I question anything or ask for clarity, he gets completely frustrated and we usually end up fighting.

I wish it could be like that... I told him a while back I missed praying together. I prayed for us that next night and we haven't prayed together since.

Pray that God brings you too closer especially with the bible. Yall actually have a great start right now if he is good in the Bible and you start growing in it with the Holy spirits leading you guys will be on track in no time. Also remember that you yourself are also valuable. Ask God to show you your strong suits as well and to show you how to connect with your husband. I'm excited for you guys make sure you pray. Seeking God on your own will also give off a new light towards him. Seek earnestly. The way you want to have a relationship with your husband have it with God first and you will begin to see the change. Through prayer and scripture things will change.


Lord, You know my hart, You know the unity with my wife. God, i pray to you to help us, united all the harts of this householding. Amen!

He will just keep praying ok. God is a waymaker. Prayers up amen!


My wife told me she is worried about how my mood is going to be each day. I finally told her I fully forgive her for her mistakes. I need to make a prayer strategy for myself for when the devil puts thoughts in my head.

I pray every morning and every night along with small prayer throughout the day. I also have a prayer partner for days when I'm in a mood... it helps to have someone to confide in.

I've sinned against her in the past and never fully forgave myself. I let the devil in my marriage before I found Jesus and now I'm fighting the devil daily ne wants my marriage to fail and my family destroyed. God wants this family whole and it's up to me to have faith let go and let God.


after reading this I began to pray and I don't know what it was that came over me but I began to cry. and as I cried I felt an arm around me. something telling me that my husband didn't pick me. he is living without the kids and i.i am so broken.

I am Praying for you and your Husband


Been on this step for almost a week now. I know the thing that is dividing unity on my part is I work long hours and Im on my phone playing games or youtube. There is no good communication. I constantly feel she is criticising me and unforgiving.
