The Bible teaches us that there is power in agreement, and this is especially true in marriage. My husband and I are about as opposite as two people can be when it comes to our personalities. Yet, God has worked in both of us over time to bring our hearts closer together. These days, we find ourselves thinking more alike and desiring the same things. It hasn’t erased our differences—God brought those together on purpose! Instead, we’re learning to see how our differences complement each other and strengthen us as a team.
If you want to unlock the power of agreement in your marriage and prayer life, you first need to get along. But how can a couple with differing views learn to agree?
A Listening Heart

Agreement comes when we let go of selfishness. Selfishness is an inward, immature focus that makes unity nearly impossible. The key is genuinely caring about your spouse’s needs and humbly asking, “What can I do to meet those needs?“ When we approach each other with humility and love, God creates a bond of agreement that draws us closer—not just to each other but to Him.
Jesus said in Matthew 18:19-20, “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.“ Imagine the beauty of your marriage where both of your hearts are gathered in agreement before the Lord!
This unity isn’t automatic. It’s a daily choice. Choose today to pursue peace, harmony, and agreement with your spouse. Invite God to be at the center of your relationship. When you do, you’ll see His presence and power manifest in ways you never imagined.
3 Practical Ways to Choose Agreement in Your Marriage Today
This week, take these three simple steps to foster agreement in your marriage:
- Pray Together Daily – Set aside 5–10 minutes daily to pray with your spouse. It could be before bed, in the morning, or during a quiet moment. Ask God to give you unity and guide your marriage.
- Practice Selflessness – Ask your spouse, “What’s one thing I can do to support you today?” Listen with an open heart and follow through. Small acts of kindness build trust and unity.
- Set a Shared Goal – Choose one area of your life where you can work together, such as finances, health, or serving in ministry. Talk about how you can approach it as a team and hold each other accountable.
These small, intentional actions can bring you closer to one another and to God and open the door for His power to work in your marriage.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for the gift of marriage and the beautiful way you bring two unique people together to fulfill your purpose. I long to experience the power of agreement in my relationship. Teach me to let go of selfishness and pride and to approach my spouse with humility and love. Help us to listen to each other, value one another’s needs, and seek unity in every area of our lives. Lord, bind us together with your Spirit and let our prayers rise to you in agreement. May we experience your presence in our home and marriage. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
