2018 Kickoff Breakfast
See? I would recommend her doing the same for you.
Here are great “his” & “hers” prayers from Philippians
1:3-11 (you pray this for her) and Ephesians 1:15-29 (she
prays this for you). Copy, paste & rewrite to insert each
other’s names. I suggest that you open the prayer and
that she concludes the prayer. #2 Try fasting together.
If your physical health permits it, fasting can be a great
experience for a couple to share. Some couples I know
fast together once a week, call each other on their lunch
breaks to pray, and then break fast together as well. It is
a wonderful way to sacrifice to God together!
If, however, your wife is a bit more introverted, you
can encourage her to pray quietly. Ask her just to say
amen to signify when she is done. While she prays quietly
YOU pray quietly, and WAIT! For this moment you are
following her lead. When she says “amen”, you seal it with
a loving kiss, an embrace, and “thank you, honey!” #3 Read a devotional study together.
There are wonderful devotionals for individual use or
for couples that can be incorporated into your spiritual
life. A devotional helps you and your wife to reflect and
talk about God through the week. It is a simple yet
wonderful way to come together in His presence.
