A Prayer for My Wife
For her heart and her health, the load she carries, and the marriage you share.
Lord, I bring You my wife.
Watch over her today in all she carries —
the work, the worry, the people who lean on her.
Strengthen her body and gladden her heart.
Guard the love between us,
and make me gentler than I was yesterday.
Keep her close to You, and close to me.
Amen.
For her day
She may already be up and moving before you've finished this. Pray it anyway, and mean it — for the tasks she'll shoulder without mentioning, the people who'll need her, the small hard things you won't be there to see. A husband's prayer follows her into the day he can't.
Lord, go with my wife into this day.
Lighten the load she carries,
give her strength for what is hers to do,
and let her feel, somewhere in the middle of it,
that she is seen and dearly loved.
Amen.
For her heart and rest
There are burdens she carries quietly, the ones she'd never want to trouble you with. You don't have to name them to pray over them. Pray this one at the end of a long day — beside her, or silently while she sleeps — and ask God to hold what she's been holding alone.
God of rest, tend my wife's heart tonight.
Loosen the worries she won't say aloud,
ease the weariness she has carried too long,
and give her sleep that truly mends.
Let her wake lighter than she lay down.
Amen.
For our marriage
Praying for your wife is also praying for the two of you. This isn't a prayer for a perfect marriage — it's a prayer for a tended one, offered by the person best placed to tend it. Pray it on the good days and the strained ones alike; both need it.
Lord, bless the marriage we are building.
Where we have grown careless, make us tender;
where words have failed, teach us to try again.
Keep us patient, keep us kind,
and let our love grow deeper than the years.
Amen.
Make this prayer theirs.
Finding words…
Amen
Every word is yours — tap any line to change it.
The words here began as a prayer a person wrote. Orant personalized it with what you shared — nothing is stored, and nothing is sent anywhere unless you choose to.
A word for you
Praying for your wife can feel almost too close for words — you know her better than anyone, and you've watched her carry more than most people ever see. Prayer doesn't hand you a script or a guarantee; it's the quiet act of lifting the one you love into hands stronger than your own. So ask boldly for her health, her peace, the lightening of her load. Ask, too, for yourself — for patience where you've been short, for tenderness where the years have worn you smooth. And when the words run out, that's alright; God hears the love underneath them. Sometimes the most faithful thing a husband can do is set his wife, and his marriage, gently before the Lord.
“Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.”
Questions people ask
What is a good short prayer for my wife?
Name her, name what she's carrying, and ask God to strengthen her heart and body and to bless your marriage. The prayer above takes under a minute — pray it in the morning before she wakes, or quietly beside her at night.
How can I pray for my wife every day?
Keep it small and steady. A sentence over her morning, a word of thanks for her at night, a quick prayer when you know she has a hard day ahead. Consistency matters more than length — a husband's daily prayer is one of the kindest, most hidden things he can do.
Can I send this prayer to my wife?
Yes — use the card below, or let Orant read it to her gently, line by line. Sometimes knowing you prayed for her means as much as the prayer itself.
Orant can remind you to pray this each morning — and tell her you did.
