Prayer in Marriage

Dennis Rainey, host of Family Life Today, is a strong advocate of daily prayer for married couples. In an article entitled “Prayer, The Secret of a Lasting Marriage”, he makes the plea that regular prayer together be a part of every married couple’s experience. Rainey estimates that only about 5% of married couples pray together on a daily basis, and wonders how the lack of this spiritual investment affects the quality of our marriages.

Rainey challenges couples to a simple exercise – pray together for one week straight. He is confident that the value of praying together can come from even a small initial investment.

When you think of the Week of Prayer, think of it as a marriage opportunity as well. Here is the complete article.

Information about the Week of Prayer can be found at here.
