This may be something you already do, or it might make you feel uncomfortable. Either way, I highly encourage you to pray together every day. Many of us are so quick to pray for our children and their future, but we often forget to pray for our spouse and the future of our marriages. It doesn’t have to be lengthy or in flowery language; prayer is simply talking to God. When you pray, thank him for your spouse, ask him to strengthen your marriage, confess your shortcomings, and be as specific as possible. You will not only feel closer to your Creator, but you will be much closer to your spouse as well. Who better to talk to about your marriage than the author and maker of marriage Himself?
Every marriage goes through trials, but when we lean on God and do everything within our power to keep our marriages strong, we can endure any trial that comes our way. Take heart; your marriage doesn’t have to stay boring. Each day is another chance to reignite that spark!
