It’s not a typo. I am highly recommending praying with your spouse on a daily basis. You will be amazed what God will do in your life. This kind of praying opens up your intimacy levels like you have never experienced before. Okay, I will admit that it is awkward, very awkward at first. But the more you do it, the more natural it gets.

What my wife and I have done is to use a book by Dennis and Barbara Rainey entitled “Sweetheart, Let’s Pray”. They are at www.familylife.com . We have been at it for the past three days and already I can tell you that it has been rewarding. For me, I can tell you that;

1. I am beginning to be more open to her (I think she likes it)
2. I am praying and thinking about her more often. (I think she must like it)
3. There is a sense of growing intimacy about the entire practice.

How do we go about it? Well, we read the small chapters, share what we want to pray for and have talked about what we are uncomfortable with when praying together. There were things like posture, length of prayer etc. We have reached some points of agreement and we have just gone ahead and prayed. It’s still work in progress but rewarding already.

My challenge is for you to begin as well.
