Praying increases the spiritual connection in your marriage. Praying together brings you closer together. Praying meshes your spiritual energy with your spouse’s, and makes you both stronger and more connected. Something definitely happens when you pray with other people, whether it’s your spouse or someone you just met.

Praying increases your knowledge of your husband or wife. You won’t realize certain things about your spouse until you pray together. Praying together will allow a glimpse into the heart and soul of your spouse; which you may otherwise miss. 

Praying as a couple softens your heart. When you are angry at your spouse you will find it hard to pray with your spouse. However, you will find that the act of praying together softens your heart and increases your feelings of love. Praying can heal your hurts as a couple.

Tips for Saying Prayers With Your Husband or Wife

Say what’s on your heart – and direct your comments to God. Don’t use your prayer time as a couple to vent frustrations, make veiled criticisms, or ask your husband or wife to do something for you. This may sound obvious, but don’t make your prayers sound like lectures or gossip sessions than true communication with God!

Incorporate periods of silence. It’s okay for a husband and wife to go before God by truly sitting and listening for God’s word or direction; instead of always being ones doing the talking. It’s a reminder of why God gave us two ears and one mouth; to listen more and speak less.

Pray as regularly as possible. Praying together as a couple is a habit that takes time to develop – and one that is very, very easy to lose; especially due to busy schedules, travel, houseguests, periods of illness, etc – and it’s surprisingly difficult to get back into the habit of praying together, even when you’ve experienced firsthand the power of praying with your husband or wife! However, you can pray on the phone together.

Bottom line, pray with your spouse as regular as possible, no matter how tired, busy, or cranky you are.
