23 Prayer For My Relationship With My Boyfriend
1. 1 Corinthians 13:4–7 (ESV)
“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”
True love reflects the character of Christ—patient, forgiving, and full of grace. Every healthy relationship is tested by misunderstandings, but godly love stands firm through humility and compassion. When both hearts are committed to loving as Christ loves, no disagreement can destroy what God is building.
Lord, teach me and my boyfriend to love one another in the way You love us. Remove selfishness and pride from our hearts and replace them with patience and understanding. May our love reflect Your truth and endure through every challenge. Amen.

Partnership is one of God’s greatest gifts. When two hearts walk in unity, they strengthen each other through encouragement and shared faith. A Christ-centered relationship turns individual weakness into collective strength and gives purpose to companionship.
