These daily marriage devotionals are compiled from verses that we have shared with Christian couples in many counseling sessions over many years. Please read one per day and meditate on how it applies to your marriage. (Note: if you are not certain you are a Christian, please read The Sinner’s Prayer)
praying for you, and asking that ye may be filled with the full knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding (Colossians 1:9-11)
For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don’t cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy (Colossians 1:9-11)
As Christians, we are called to be filled with the full knowledge of God’s will for our lives. This includes our marriage. When we seek to understand God’s will for our relationship, it helps to bring clarity and direction to our marriage.
But how do we go about being filled with the full knowledge of God’s will in our marriage? Colossians 1:9-11 tells us that we should continually pray for wisdom and understanding from the Holy Spirit. We should also seek to live a life that is worthy of the Lord and to please him in every way. This includes bearing fruit in every good work and growing in the knowledge of God.
When we make a conscious effort to seek God’s will for our marriage and to align our actions with his will, it helps to bring unity and purpose to our relationship. It allows us to experience the fullness of what God has in store for our marriage.
So, as you go about your day, make a conscious effort to seek God’s will for your marriage. Pray for wisdom and understanding from the Holy Spirit, and strive to live a life that is pleasing to God. When you are filled with the full knowledge of God’s will for your marriage, it will bring unity and purpose to your relationship.
Prayer
Dear God, help us to be filled with the full knowledge of your will for our marriage. Give us wisdom and understanding from the Holy Spirit, and help us to live a life that is pleasing to you. We pray for unity and purpose in our marriage as we seek to align our actions with your will. Amen.

If you miss one, two, or many days, don’t worry about it and don’t try to catch up. Just start where you are and keep going. We have found the Holy Spirit can prompt you to return to just the passage you need for today.
This is an ongoing labor of love because these marriage devotionals will never be finished, but we have to start somewhere, so we will update often. We appreciate your support and prayers because this is a work of God not us. And please forgive us because we have never found a verse that doesn’t apply to marriage somehow.
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. (Proverbs 30:5)
