Day 1: Getting Closer: The Secret
Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
— 1 Thessalonians 5:11
Praying together is one of the most intimate and unifying things you can do as a couple. Think of the great promise God has made to those who pray: “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7). Imagine having that kind of peace and security in your marriage.
Praying together is not a therapeutic ritual that will keep every difficulty from your door, rather it is a spiritual habit that will make you allies in life, love, and purpose. Most importantly, praying together is an acknowledgment that you want God at the center of all things.
Enjoy these shared moments of prayer. They will prove to be a great investment in your marriage, drawing you closer to God and to each other.
