I believe every husband and wife should take time together to read the Word of God and pray together. With such busy days, finding the time can be challenging. However, not taking the time is to overlook the benefits that come with praying for one another.
There's an intimacy that is created when a husband and wife pray to the Lord about the burdens of their heart. It can be surprising what is said in prayer which may lead to a discussion.
Usually during our devotional time, I read a passage of Scripture and center our time of prayer around it. I sense from the Lord as the husband, having this time is a responsibility and a privilege.
I'm reminded of Genesis 25:21. Isaac pleaded with the LORD on behalf of his wife, because she was unable to have children. The LORD answered Isaac's prayer, and Rebekah became pregnant with twins (NLT).
A husband praying for his wife is powerful! More powerful when a couple can pray in agreement of God's promises. The Lord said, "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." (Matthew 18:20 KJV).
Friends, a marriage for such trouble times requires a strong spiritual foundation. Pray for one another. Talk about His goodness. And the health of the marriage will only increase.
