Beloved, congratulations shall continue to dwell in your habitations in the name of Jesus. If you are planning to get married to your life partner, it is always warfare in the camp of the enemy to thwart the success of every marriage. So, knowing this the devil doesn’t just want the children of God to settle in marriage, that is why it becomes a duty for the devil to put on a fight, in various ways to see many marriages being destroyed, frustrated, poverty, misunderstanding, quarrelling, and sometimes breakup. That will not be your portion in Jesus’ name. Amen.
What the enemy does in marriage is introduce disagreement between partners, and arguments that will lead to misunderstandings, conflict and lots more. Partners break up just for mere opinions pride, desires and greed. In the scriptures, Abraham and Sarai experience misunderstandings in their marriage (Genesis 16:4-5), and Jacob and Rachel have a misunderstanding in their marriage (Genesis 30:1). A lot of things happen when two individuals hope to come together as one in marriage.
But there is a solution in God. God is the maker and sustainer of marriage. If God is the masterpiece, the forerunner of marriage, the beginning, middle and the end of marriage is always the best. You will never see divorce in your marriage, no issue of third-party concerns in your relationship, no hatred, no blackmail, no evil reports shall you see.
When you commit it to God in prayers and allow Him to lead will you see that God settles you and your partner in peace, love and harmony. That will be your testimony.
Beloved, I have the following bible verses to read and get ready to pray for God’s presence and guidance in the journey you are about to take.
Congratulations.
If you are set to read these verses, start by confession as follows;
Confession
Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you for all the privileges I am enjoying from your grace. I acknowledge every step you have helped me and my partner to get to this level of our life, your divine presence, and your divine connection with my partner. Thank you for peace and joy and for leading us to agree on a life journey. Thank you for the divine wisdom to even commit this marital arrangement to your hands.
Lord, I come before You today with a humble heart, acknowledging my sins and shortcomings. I confess that I have fallen short of Your glory in my thoughts, words, and deeds. I have not always loved You with all my heart, nor have I loved others as You have commanded me to.
I ask for Your forgiveness and mercy, Lord. Cleanse me from all unrighteousness and purify my heart. I repent of the sins I have committed knowingly and unknowingly. Please forgive me for the times I have walked in disobedience, pride, and selfishness.
Thank You, Lord, for the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ, whose blood was shed for the forgiveness of my sins. I believe that through Him, I am made clean and righteous in Your sight.
I pray that You would strengthen me to turn away from sin and live a life that is pleasing to You. Help me to walk in Your ways and to seek Your will in all that I do. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit, that I may be guided by Your wisdom, love, and truth.
Thank You, Lord, for Your endless grace and for hearing my prayer. I trust in Your promises and rely on Your mercy.
In Jesus’ name, I pray,
Amen.
Bible Verses to Read Before Planning for Marriage: Provision, Protection, Guidance, Peace and Serenity.
Read these verses with humility and understanding, and pray fervently with the help of the Holy Spirit.
Purpose of marriage – Genesis 2:24 – “That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.” This verse underscores the divine purpose of marriage, highlighting the union and deep bond between a husband and wife.
Love and Togetherness in Marriage – 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 – “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” A foundational scripture about the qualities of love is essential for building a marriage based on patience, kindness, and trust.
Willingness to Sacrifice in Marriage – Ephesians 5:25 – “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” This verse emphasizes sacrificial love and the deep level of commitment that a husband should have for his wife, modelling Christ’s love.
Favours in Marriage – Proverbs 18:22 – “He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favour from the Lord.” This verse reminds us that marriage is a blessing and a gift from God, bringing favour into one’s life.
Strength and Strong Support in Marriage – Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 – “Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labour: If either of them falls, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” This passage speaks to the strength of marriage partnership, where mutual support, protection, and unity are central.
Love and Sustenance of Peace in Marriage – Colossians 3:14 – “And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.” Love is described as the bond of unity, crucial for sustaining peace and harmony in marriage.

Longevity in Marriage – Matthew 19:4-6 – “‘Haven’t you read,’ he replied, ‘that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.’” Jesus reaffirms the sacred and unbreakable nature of marriage, established by God from the beginning.
Unity in Marriage – Amos 3:3 – “Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?” This verse emphasizes the importance of unity, agreement, and shared purpose, which are foundational for planning a successful marriage.
Humility and Selflessness in Marriage – Philippians 2:3-4 – “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your interests but each of you to the interests of the others.” A call to humility and selflessness, are essential virtues for both partners in a marriage.
