Satan, the enemy of orderliness and righteousness, fights marriages because he knows that if he succeeds in destroying marriages, the family will be seriously undermined, and his work – to steal, kill and destroy will be much easier.
So many marriages are facing various challenges, with some of them threatening the existence of the marriage.
It’s therefore imperative that we lift our marriages in prayers always, not only during the crisis but earnestly interceding in prayers to protect our marriages from the attacks of the devil.
I have provided prayers for marriage under attack in this post to help you reclaim it from attacks from the enemy.
