These are not just words but ways of requesting that you be blessed on the journey of love, and I have put a sample under each heading to help you get started, so start with the first one and work through them one at a time.
Couple Christian Anniversary Prayers
Anniversaries in most Christian homes are a time to thank God for the gift of marriage, and such prayers are aimed at soliciting further guidance and love in the relationship, as such are based on teachings concerning unity and commitment, and hence they are the most suitable for couples of this faith. As an example, you could say a prayer such as this one during a moment of silence together, dear Heavenly Father, on this joyous wedding anniversary, we thank you that you brought us together and that love has stared to grow between us over the years, please continue to bless our marriage with patience, understanding and unbreakable faith, help us to always put you first in our lives and to support each other through every season, in the name of Jesus, amen.
The other example may be, Lord, as we are celebrating another anniversary of our marriage, we pray that you would protect our home and our hearts, that we may show your everlasting love, and that we would be strong in times of happiness and difficulty. I have used prayers such as these in my personal life and they bring a sense of peace every time, you can personalize them by adding your information, such as talking about children or common struggles and they work on any anniversary, the first or the fiftieth, and it goes back to the notions that faith makes the bond stronger.
Wedding Anniversary Biblical Blessings
By looking to the bible to inspire them, these blessings incorporate verses that directly refer to love and partnership, and they are a great addition to your happy wedding anniversary messages to make them even more special, particularly when the couple loves to be able to see the scripture-based messages. A common blessing would be as this, may the Lord bless your marriage as in the Ephesians chapter five where husbands are commanded to love their wives the way Christ loves the church, and wives to honor their husbands, on this special day we pray that your union would be filled with that same selflessness and care, that you may live many more years of joy and growth. Or attempt, borrowing the word of Proverbs, that a wife of goodly character is a crown to her husband, and so Lord, bless this couple with wisdom and happiness on this day of their anniversary, and may it be to them a house of quietness and their love a witness to thy mercy.
Based on my experience of family occasions, it is possible to add these biblical details to make the prayer sound timeless and uplifting, you can read them out during a dinner or write them in a card and add the verse reference to find easily, and they can be a good addition to wedding anniversary greetings as they remind people of the spiritual basis of marriage.
Faithful Husband Anniversary Prayers
Praying on your anniversary to your husband is all about being thankful to God and requesting God to support him as your spouse; these are heartfelt prayers and centered on his place in the marital relationship, hence very personal. To illustrate, dear God, on our joyous wedding anniversary, I pray to you about my husband, thank you that he is strong, kind, and loves me every day, please guide his steps, keep him safe, and give his heart your peace, help us to draw together as we share this journey, amen.
The next might be, Lord, make my husband healthy and happy, make him always feel your presence in our home, and make our love symbolic of your eternal promise. I recall that I was saying something like this prayer on my anniversary morning, and it gave the day a good start. They are ideal to say secretly or add to an anniversary card, and they lend a faith dimension to more conventional happy wedding anniversary greetings to husbands.
Anniversary Prayers when the Wife wants Godly Love
Prayers in honor of your wife on this special day focus on her inner and outer beauty and request the love of God be all around her; they bring out the spiritual side of wanting to connect more deeply in marriage. Something like this, Heavenly Father, in our joyous wedding anniversary, I pray you bless my wife, thank you for her sweet nature and brightness in my life, bless her with your heavenly love, entrust her with strength in her day to day duties, and may our marriage be a comfort and joy to her, all the days of her life, in your name, amen. Or, God, look down on my wife and bless her days, may she feel how much she is loved, by me and by thee, and lead us to love each other more every year. Through my personal experiences of sharing such prayers, these prayers tend to make the anniversary sacred, and they also mix well with romantic messages to come up with meaningful, happy wedding anniversary wishes.

The other one may be, God, cover my mom and dad in your grace, thank you for their long-lasting partnership, and assist them to enjoy every moment together. I have recited such prayers at family meals, and they never fail to unite people, so they can be perfect when written on a card or delivered in a toasting address during joyous wedding anniversary celebrations by the parents.
