Most typically, if you are having trouble in your marriage then it is because there is a lack of mutual interest. It is not necessarily a lack of communication or even a lack of intimacy but most marriage troubles can be broken down to lacking in time together. If you’re saying that I want prayers to save my marriage then there is even more that you can do, and you still have a lot of hope.
It has been said that success in marriage is not looking at each other, but in looking in the same direction together. When we pray, especially when we pray together, we are committing to spend time together. From there it is a lot easier to find reasons to stay together.
If you are religious, try some prayers. The act of quiet serenity will be enough to put both of you in a place where you realize how much you mean to each other. It does not matter what prayers you use, it could be some Hail Marys or Our Fathers as long as you say them together. And more importantly, make time, the same time everyday to say them.
If everyday is not possible, then at least the same time every week or a couple of times a week. You should try everyday though, maybe by cutting out one TV show a night. Once you have selected your regular time, you can enhance the feeling of togetherness by lighting a candle and dimming the lights, or turn off the lights altogether, but whatever method you choose, it is sure to enhance the moment.
