Praying Together as a Couple

Couples Praying Together

Here is an article that will be helpful to you. I responded to a question that was asked. Should we pray together as a couple and if so what are the benefits of doing so? This is indeed an important topic and if you master this area you will see amazing things happen in your life and marriage. The Bible tells us in Matthew 18:18-19 that unity between two people agreeing on earth on a matter causes God in heaven to move on their behalf. The amplified version says you must harmonize and make symphony together. Wow those are string terms. To make symphony together means that there is no discord and everyone is in beat.

You cannot afford to be out of tune as the enemy uses that to cause problems. This works for both couples and churches. The level of unity and harmony determines the level of the miraculous that is in manifestation. I remember from my guitar music lessons that when tuning your guitar you could use harmonics to tune it. That means when you strike the key of “e” every other string that is tuned to “e” will respond by vibrating. Wow that means when husband and wife are in harmony when one says something the other responds at the same key there is no discord. The big question is this possible if yes how can we achieve it? Read the article below

Hi woman of God thank you for the kind comment about the blogs am so happy they are ministering to you. It is our desire to be a blessing to you.

I love you question so much please allow me to make it a blog. It is such an important question and I believe it will help many people.

To answer you briefly these are some benefits couples praying together.

1. Marriage is first of all spiritual so when you pray together you are connecting with God and each other spirit to spirit. The result is you will have a strong bond that cannot be easily broken. Just like a church that pray together have a stronger bond than one that does not, and so it is with couples. We never have to counsel couples that pray together often, their marriages are amazingly strong.

2. Praying together helps you focus on the needs of the family and bring them before God in faith. Where two or three agree (Matthew 18:18) there is no higher level of agreement than that of husband and wife. The devil will do all he can to stop you from praying together because he knows the power that flows out of unity.

3. One will set a thousand to flight two will send ten thousand. There is a symbiotic reaction that multiplies your effectiveness when you pray together. Multiply your effectiveness and see miracles happen faster and more frequently

4. In prayer you express the deepest and most sincere desire in your hearts therefore as you express yourself in prayer you and your spouse are able to connect with each others intimate needs and be more responsive to each other. This tenderness to each other fosters an environment rich with faith and the supernatural. Guess what it also reduces the friction of should we buy the lounge suite first or the Meg wheels for the car

4. Prayer together reduces stress and strain in the relationship as you faith factor increases, focused faith allows you to get better results and less pressure on each other. You realize that you don’t wrestle against flesh and blood so you spouse is not the enemy.

5. Prayer together brings the power of God in greater manifestation and hence there is more joy and peace and health well not to mention sex. It’s amazing how the sexual response cycle works faster in a woman who is happy than an anxious one.

6. Praying together creates an environment rich with love and intimacy because of all that's mentioned above and it results in a great sex life. You release of oxytocin causes you to bond even more and that bond causes more phone calls and messages to each other

7. Finally it fills your home with the presence of God and angelic ministry. The bible says where there is strife there dwells every evil work (demons and demonic activity [James 3:14-18]) but where there is unity God commands the blessing.

So I am sure that this is a motivation for you to look at this matter very seriously. In fact I am immediately reviewing my prayer strategy with my wife I need more power and more sex.

God bless you and your marriage
