Mend The Marriage

There must be something powerful about a husband and wife praying together. Why do I say that? Why else would it be so difficult to do - at all, or consistently?

Married for over 35 years, my wife and I have found our prayer life together consistently sporadic over most of that time. Only in the past few years has that changed. As a Christian counselor, working with mostly Christian clientele, I have observed that most couples struggle with this issue. Many couples report no prayer life together, except perhaps mealtime prayers or bedtime prayers with their children. Most couples have reported a lack of consistency in their praying together. They are hit and miss - and a lot more misses than hits.

As a young Christian, I remember hearing my pastor admit in a sermon that praying with his wife had been very difficult, whereas he could pray with church members in the church services, in his pastoral office, or in their homes rather effortlessly. I remember being surprised at that little peek into the parsonage. I had never really made the effort at that point; when I did, however, I understood what my pastor had said. It was hard.

Again, the difficulty of this exercise suggests to me the importance of it. My interpretation: Satan, our spiritual enemy, must fear this spiritual tool and craftily oppose it. If you are inclined to overcome in this matter, I have three suggestions that have helped my wife and me.
