Pray for your Spouse Part 3

Hope that your weekend was as good as mine. Friday night was Daddy/Daughter time and it was awesome. Saturday was Critter Cook and spending time with the in-laws. Sunday was worship at the Rock and I took a great nap.

Here are some suggestions for praying with and for your spouse.

  1. Decide to pray as a couple- you need to have an individual prayer time and a time to pray as a couple. You can never pray to much.
  2. Decide on a specific time- we plan out everything else in our day, why not plan out our prayer time.
  3. Ask your spouse how you can pray for him/her- praying for specific things draws you closer together.
  4. Tell your spouse that you value their prayers.
  5. Pray with your spouse, not at your spouse- don't use your prayer time to point out your spouses faults and failures.
  6. Remember that you are praying to the Lord, not talking to each other
  7. Thank God for your mate
  8. Keep your prayer time, prayer time- you have plenty of time to do other things.
