From the Back Cover

"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.

"This book will help couples not only survive marriage but also take it to a higher level."--Dr. Samuel Adams, coauthor, The Ten Commandments of Dating and Devotions for Dating Couples

"There is no greater gift a husband and wife can give each other than to pray together. Will Davis helps guide couples through that process with this insightful and compelling book."--Rick Johnson, founder, Better Dads; author, That's My Son

"As a marriage and family therapist, I cannot stress strongly enough the importance of praying for your marriage, but most couples don't even know where to start. This book provides a much-needed road map."--Rick Reynolds, LCSW, founder, Affair Recovery Center

Top Highlights

“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)
