"Whether you've been married fifty years or fifty days, you need
to read and apply the principles in this book."--Dennis Rainey,
president and cofounder, FamilyLife
We know marriage is too hard to handle alone. But when we come to
God for help, too often our prayers are lifeless and vague or even
selfish. God wants more for you--in your prayer life and in your
marriage.
Will Davis Jr. combines God's teachings on marriage with practical
guidance on praying for your marriage using "pinpoint prayers" that
are bold, direct, specific, and biblical. You will learn how to
pray specific biblical verses for:
•emotional and spiritual intimacy in marriage
•your spouse's spiritual growth, even if he or she is an
unbeliever
•protection from marriage temptations
•your marriage's purpose and mission
Each chapter includes suggestions for how you can "Pray Big Today,"
relevant Scripture verses, and prayers. A final section offers a
31-day prayer plan with verses and pinpoint prayers to help you get
started. Pray Big for Your Marriage will challenge and
inspire you to ask God to do big things in and through your
marriage.

“Instead of asking God to be with my wife, I asked him to make her holy, to protect her from the pull of materialism, to heal her of specific wounds, to expand her ministry impact, to put truth in her heart and wisdom on her tongue. Instead of asking God to bless my marriage, I prayed that he would help Susie and me to love each other unconditionally, to model his love to the world, to willingly serve and yield to each other, and to know true intimacy.” (source)
“Men will learn how to pray very specific biblical promises for their wives, and women will learn how to pray with equal biblical focus for their husbands. In the book’s final chapters, you’ll learn how to pray for protection from temptations and distractions in marriage, and how to pray for the vision and mission that God has for your marriage.” (source)
“Why are you asking me to do what I’m already doing? Pray for something dramatic, something that requires faith. Pray for something big!” (source)
