Praying Together

I was told early in our marriage about the importance of praying together as a couple. In some cases, we were told a frequency, and in other cases, we were not. What has been your (the group's) experience with praying together, and how often do you pray together?

My wife and I have a special moment where we pray together in bed right before we fall asleep. We alternate who gets to lead the prayer. Most of the time, I take on that role, and I'm perfectly fine with it. If I ever ask her to pray, she happily agrees. I also believe that husbands often enter marriage with the expectation that their wives will read the Bible together every day. Personally, I find that unrealistic. I appreciate what Pastor Joe mentioned about him and Krissy reading separately; they might be exploring different books in the Bible, but they always come together to discuss what they’ve read.

I am thankful for my wife Lorena, as she lovingly manages everything that needs attention at home while also working full-time and having a deep love for Jesus🙌🏻. Without her, I honestly can't imagine where I would be; because of her and Jesus, my life has completely transformed 100% into the path that God intends for me on His journey, not mine🙌🏻.

Morning Bible study.

“Abide in me, and I will abide in you. For a branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful unless you remain in me.” ‭‭John‬ ‭15‬:‭4‬ ‭ Abide in me he is talking about the will, about the choices, the decisions we make. We must decide to do things which expose ourselves to him and keep ourselves in contact with him. This is what it means to abide in him. When we abide in Him, we aren’t just strengthening ourselves but also our marriage. Your time with God will pour into your Marriage and show up in marriage.

I'm sorry we wont make it today. I need to go on a hike to spend quiet time with God 🙌🏻 All is good here, just need that quality 2 way conversation with God. Please if anyone here needs prayer let me know. As the word says 19 Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” (Matthew 18:19–21, ESV) I'll have the gathering in my prayers on the mountain.
