Joined Together – Engaged & Newlywed Prayer Journal (KJV) | Printable PDF

Before the dress, the flowers and the first dance, there is the most important thing: praying over your marriage.

Joined Together is a Christian prayer journal for the bride-to-be. It walks with her from engagement through the first year of marriage, so the planning season and the newlywed season are both covered in prayer.

In Part 1, she prays for her future husband with 12 guided prompts, each with its own KJV verse: his walk with God, his heart, his work, his words, his courage and more. When wedding planning gets stressful, "Peace in the Planning" gives her short calm-down prayers and breath prayers for hard moments. Then 15 premarital conversation pages help the couple talk through money, family, faith, kids, conflict, chores and more, with space to write what they decided.

In Part 2, she keeps praying through the first year of marriage with 12 monthly check-ins (a verse, "how are we?", prayer goals and one thing to try), plus "our story" pages for how they met, the proposal, the wedding day and their first home.

It is undated, so it works for any wedding date, and she can start at any point in her engagement.

Who it's for

Brides-to-be who want to keep Jesus at the center of their engagement, and newlyweds in their first year. It also makes a sweet, meaningful gift: a bridal shower gift, an engagement gift, or a gift for the bride from her bridesmaid, maid of honor, mom or future mother-in-law. Print it, tuck it in a binder with a pretty pen, and you have a gift she will actually use.

How it's different

This is a prayer journal for one bride or couple, from engagement into year one. If you are looking for weekly couple devotions, see our Two Become One devotional. For wedding planning checklists, see A Threefold Cord wedding planner. They pair beautifully together.

Classroom & church use

A classroom license is included. One teacher or group leader may print copies for one class or small group they lead (up to 30 people), such as a premarital class or a brides' small group. For a whole church, email hello@godintentions.org for a group license.

Please note: Scripture is from the King James Version (KJV). This journal is non-denominational. It is written to the bride, and grooms are welcome to pray along. It is not a replacement for premarital counseling; for big or hard topics, a pastor or Christian counselor is a great help.
