Prayer Between Spouses is Powerful

Real talk family. Many couples say they believe in prayer. However, few actually pray together consistently. Not because they don’t want to but because it can feel unfamiliar, vulnerable or even awkward.

Do you pray together as a couple?

Prayer between spouses is powerful. When couples pray together, something shifts. It becomes harder to stay resentful or distant. It becomes hard to see one another as opponents. When you pray together, you lower your defenses. It ensures God is a part of your marriage. Prayer invites God into your lives, everyday, whether in the midst of happy times or struggles. Additionally, you remind each other that you are on the same team. Even a simple, “Lord, help us today,” creates spiritual alignment because prayer isn’t about eloquence. It not about length or wordiness or about perfection. Praying together is simply about unity.

James and I have had seasons where our prayers were long and intentional, and seasons where they were short and whispered. Both mattered. The strength wasn’t in the wording. It was in the willingness.

Prayer turns two individuals into one unit again. If praying together feels uncomfortable, start small. Hold hands and pray one sentence each. Simplicity builds confidence. Lord, teach us to come before You together. Remove hesitation and replace it with unity. Strengthen our marriage as we seek
