Declaring God’s Word Over Your  Future Marriage 

For many years, I prayed without seeing any results in any  area of my life. I wondered why God wasn’t responding to my lamentations but I later learnt  that although God is  touched by the feelings of our infirmities, He is moved by His Word. Psalms 138 :2 says: He has exalted His Word above all things.I have seen the power of Scripture at work in my life—over my health,my destiny, and my family.God’s Word is living and active (Hebrews 4:12), and when we declare it over our lives, we align ourselves with His perfect will. Marriage is no different. If we believe in God’s design for marriage and desire to be in a godly union, then it’s important to declare His Word over this area of our lives.

Many people pray for a spouse, but fewer take the time to speak specific, faith-filled declarations over their future marriage. Instead of just hoping for a good husband, I want to be intentional about speaking God’s promises over my future home. Here are 15 personalized scripture declarations that reflect the qualities I desire in my husband and the marriage I am praying for that you can use.

Why These Declarations Matter

Speaking and writing down these scriptures is more than just wishful thinking—it’s an act of faith. Proverbs 18:21 says that life and death are in the power of the tongue. If we believe God’s Word has power, then declaring these promises helps shape our future according to His will.

If you are also waiting on God for a spouse, I encourage you to write down and personalize scriptures for your own life. Don’t just pray vaguely—be specific, intentional, and full of faith. God is faithful, and in His perfect time, He will bring forth the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4).
