PRAYING AS A COUPLE )::

Most couples, believe it or not do not pray together. I know one man who completely refuses to pray together with his lady. He says he prays by himself, but he won't pray together with his lady.

He says Praying with his lady makes him feel too uncomfortable, so he won't pray with her. He is not alone in this, very few couples actually take the time to pray together.

 

How much do you think you and your spouse could accomplish if you prayed together daily? What would happen to the amount of problems you face as a couple if you prayed together about them daily? What kind of adults will your children grow into if the two of you prayed together for them daily? Can you see why it is so important for a couple to pray together?

1.When you and your spouse hold hands and pray together, you are coming before God as a couple. It is not just you praying and it is not just your spouse praying, but the two of you praying together. You are united spiritually before God as a team. You are now operating on the level that God intended for couples to operate on. You are unified, joined together as one, partners together before God. Your prayer as a couple is sweet perfume to God.
2.Pray about your dating relationship. Give everything over to God. Let God know that you are asking His approval. Talk to God about the problems that arise. Thank Him for the opportunity to be in a relationship and the happy times you experience. You can also pray with your lover. It is a good way to help each other out with whatever stresses life brings. By praying together, you are experiencing God together.
3.Make sacrifices for each other. Be willing to serve one another. Put one another above yourselves. Find how to show love to each other. Use the love God has shown you and bring it to your lover.
4.Smile and know that God is with you. Enjoy the life that God has given the both of you. Whenever you get the chance, praise God for whatever He has poured into your life. Trust and know that God has your back. He wants what is best for the both of you.
5.One of the problems that couples have is pride. The result of this pride is the refusal to acknowledge any weaknesses, or needs, to one another. Therefore, when you pray together, you need to be honest and humble yourself before God. Allow your spouse to hear you confess your needs openly and let your spouse pray for those needs. You can't help but be drawn closer to God and closer to each other as a result.
6.Prayer develops and deepens your communication. Good communication is a fundamental key to real companionship and prayer is the hand that turns the key to open this door. If you pray individually and not together as a couple, you tend say things to the Lord that you would never say to each other in casual conversation. 

But when you learn to pray together as a couple, your spouse will hear you say those intimate things that previously only God heard. For example, when a woman hears her man praying earnestly about his situation at work, she may realize,

Wow, I had no idea this was such a difficult issue for him. The lady now knows how to better pray for her man.

 True love is meant to be for two people but lets allow GOD  to be the  third party.):
