Father, thank You for the gift of love and for creating marriage as a reflection of that love. We seek living examples of the beauty and goodness of marriage. Help us to honor it, and to be held in high regard by both the young and the old, seeing its beauty the way You do. Teach us to be patient, kind, and faithful in our relationships. May our marriages bring joy to You and show others the goodness of living in Your design. We express our gratitude, dear Father, for placing such a high and sacred value on marriage.
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 NIV
“The only full life for man or woman is led by those men and women who together, with hearts both gentle and valiant, face lives of love and duty, who see their children rise up to call them blessed and who leave behind them their seed to inherit the earth.” – President Theodore Roosevelt On the Joys of Marriage

Operation World Pray for Macau : Macau is the first Christian territory in Asia to become non-Christian since the Muslim conquest in West Asia over 600 years ago. 95% of the population were Catholic in 1600; fewer than 5% are Christian today. Protestant missions to China started in Macau. Here, missionaries baptized the first Chinese convert, translated the first Chinese Bible, and buried the first Protestant missionary to the Chinese. Many now follow Buddhism, Daoism, or traditional Chinese religions. The gambling industry, fear of the local god “A-Ma”, and high turnover of leaders in churches, all hinder the spread of the gospel. Pray for believers to win back this territory for the Saviour.
