Prayer Before an Engagement

For someone planning to propose, or a couple deciding to marry.

“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.”

Ecclesiastes 4:9 (KJV)

Lord, I am about to ask the person I love to marry me. My heart is full of excitement and nerves.

If this is Your will, bless our engagement and our future marriage. Give us wisdom as we prepare. Help us build a strong foundation on You.

Let the proposal be special and memorable. Calm my nerves and help me speak from my heart.

Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. Make us better together than apart.

Prepare us both for the joys and challenges ahead. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Short prayer to remember

Lord, bless this proposal and our future together. Amen.
