And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. Genesis 2:18
God knows the importance of union of man and woman so it God’s desire that every man and woman should have a partner.
Whether you have a regular habit of praying for your spouse or are feeling stuck in knowing how to pray, we wanted to share a few prayers you can use in this book.
Are you single and waiting for a spouse?
Do you need prayer to find a husband or wife–or maybe you need to pray for yourself to find a spouse, but you aren’t sure how to do so? I do pray for all my readers who are single and desire to be married. But, even more, I desire to equip YOU to pray for your future spouse and marriage with confidence, knowing that God really DOES want you to be married if you want to be.
To assist you in your prayers, I wanted to share a model prayer with you that is much like the way I prayed when I was asking God to send me my own husband.

The apostle Paul had this gift, and he said it allowed him to focus more on the Lord.However, marriage is still a VERY good thing. Marriage–between one man and one woman–is the very first institution that God created. He set Adam, the first husband, together with Eve, the first wife.
Why?
Because He said:
… ―It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him‖ (Genesis 2:18).
If you need some Scriptures to help build your faith for a spouse, meditate on these verses:
Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart‖ (Psalm 37:4).
and …
―For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly‖ (Psalm 84:11).
