How Do We Pray Together?
Now that we have the plan, what do we do as a couple when we pray together? There are some basic premises to keep in mind.
by David Stoop, Jan StoopNow that we have the plan, what do we do as a couple when we pray together? A basic premise to keep in mind is the importance of praying for each other. Although the Bible doesn’t say directly, “Husbands and wives, pray for each other,” it does say in James 5:16 that we are to “pray for each other so that you may be healed.” That certainly includes husbands praying for wives and wives praying for husbands. One couple said, “Every time we pray together, we begin by praying a blessing over each other. We do this to edify our spouse and make them feel loved.”
One of the things we do is find different prayers in the Bible and then agree to pray them for each other. For example, one of our favorites is a prayer Paul prayed for the Philippians in chapter 1, verses 9 and 10. He writes:
This is my prayer; that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ
