This week, I want to talk about prayer.
Prayer should be a big thing in our marriages. That should include praying for God to help us be better spouses, praying for our spouse, and praying together.
A lot of men struggle to pray out loud. Prayer has always felt very private to me. Blessing a meal, sure, but I had to push myself to do it with my wife. If you’re like this, husband, push through it. If wife, your husband is like this, give him some grace.
I am convinced prayer changes things. What it most often changes is the one who is praying. I’m not discounting miracles here. Besides, changes to the one praying can be a miracle!
“God change my spouse” is a common prayer, and an understandable one. I think “God make my spouse the way you want him or her to be” is a better prayer.
~ This is Paul, telling you that Praying Well looks different for every couple.
