Praying for each other (Couples)

If a couple has never prayed together, they should begin simplly and practically. Over breakfast, the husband might say to his wife "What are you doing today darling?" The day ahead might include a dentist appointment, lunch with a recently divorced friend, or a long day at work. The husband could then say "Okay, I'll pray for you." He can pray about her work, the dentist appointment and that she would able to help her friend.

The she might ask him "What does your day look like?" He can tell her and she can pray through his day. Or they might do this at night, praying about what happened that day. Sometimes a couple just doesn't know what to pray about; this way they are giving each other the specific things they need prayer for.

If they have trouble coming up with additional things to pray about, they can think about other people they love. Concerns about close friends and family members can give them another common area for prayer.

God bless
