It is valid and vital for husbands and wives to pray separately. Yet there is a satisfaction and strength in their spiritual lives they may miss out on if they do not pray together. The home is the primary place for spiritual nurture. When husbands and wives pray together they provide an atmosphere of faith and dependence on God for the whole family. Couples who pray together are building trust and intimacy in their relationship.
Spouses begin to sense a deeper respect, love and appreciation for each other.
They experience increasing confidence as together they seek God's will in decision making. Through prayer God can supply wisdom for constructive conflict resolution. Praying together provides greater accountability to God and each other. Praying with a spouse can also be a safe training ground for corporate prayer. Ask God to give both spouses the desire, determination and commitment to pray together.
