No one knows your son like you do. You have prayed for him since he was born, and you will continue to pray for him as he enters into a relationship with another person.
You want the best for him, and you know that God wants the best for him, too.
As you pray for your son and his girlfriend, here are five things that you can pray for their relationship.
5 Things to pray for your Son and His girlfriend.
1. Pray that God would give them a deep love for each other: Ephesians 3:17-19 says,
“And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”
Pray that your son and his girlfriend would have a love for each other that is rooted in Christ and that surpasses all knowledge.

“Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.”

“Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers”
Although this verse is specifically addressing husbands, it is also good advice for any relationship. Pray that your son and his girlfriend would honor and respect each other.
