First Friday of every month
Prayer for Marriage and Family Restoration
On the first Friday of every month we pray together for marriages and families: for couples who are doing well and want to stay close, for marriages going through a hard season, and for families where relationships have been broken.
You can come alone or as a couple, and you can come to pray for someone else’s marriage. Nobody is asked to tell their story.
Who this meeting is for
- Couples who want to put prayer at the center of their marriage
- Husbands and wives walking through distance, conflict or a breach of trust
- Parents, grandparents and adult children praying for reconciliation in the family
- Anyone who is separated or divorced and needs prayer and peace
What the evening is like
Scripture and worship
We open with a short reading about God’s love and faithfulness.
Prayer for couples and families
Pastors pray for marriages and homes, including the needs written in the chat.
Time to pray personally
Space to bring your own marriage and family before God, quietly or aloud.
Prayer alongside other help
Pastoral prayer is not a substitute for marriage or family counseling. We are glad to pray alongside the help couples and families receive.

Questions
- Can my spouse and I join together?
- Yes. Many couples join from one device. You can also each join separately from different places.
- My spouse does not want to come. Can I still join?
- Of course. Many people come to pray for a marriage on their own, and you are welcome.
- Will I have to talk about my marriage?
- No. You can simply listen and pray. If you want personal prayer, you can write in the chat or book a private session.
- Can I ask for private prayer for my marriage?
- Yes. You can send a confidential prayer request or book a one-on-one prayer session with a pastor at any time.
Good to know
- Every meeting is free and everyone is welcome. Nobody will single you out, ask you to speak, or ask you for money.
- Prayer is spiritual support. It is not medical, mental-health, addiction, legal or financial advice, and it never replaces the professionals who care for you.
