God created the institution of marriage between man and woman in the book of Genesis. Therefore without having God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit in your marriage, it will open the doors for strife, stress, worldly ideologies, human nature, and wilderness.
Come together in prayer as a married couple on a more than regular basis. Although as God's children we have our own personal relationship with the trinity, it is important to come together in prayer. The Bible teaches in 2 Corinthians 6:14, " Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers." If this is true then your spouse will already know the power of prayer and will want to come together with you in prayer.
If your spouse is not equally yoked, or doesn't believe in the power of prayer. Let them know that you are continuing to pray for them. You don't have to go into great detail. If fact, allow the power of God to rebuke, correct, and restore them as He sees fit. If you get in the way, you can hinder their relationship with God. Let God be God, not you.
We must always know that God hears our prayers. However, remember in Psalms 37:4, " Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." I can't think of a better way than to develop your relationship and delight yourself in God than through prayer.
