…The prayer of a righteous man is powerful…  James 5:16b (NIV)

There is an old saying, “A couple who prays together, stays together.” Have you ever thought about trying to implement this advice in your daily activities?

I once heard Zig Ziglar, the famous inspirational speaker, say that if a couple wants an easy, inexpensive way to save their marriage, there are three things to do: Pray out loud together every day, get into God’s word together, and attend church together weekly. Mr. Ziglar all but guarantees that doing these three things will save a marriage that’s in trouble as well as strengthen a marriage that is already stable.

Cindy and I stand on this, and we will not leave our home in the morning without holding hands for a word of prayer. It’s simple, it’s free, and it’s something we can do together. It makes for a great start to the day!

A mistake a lot of us have made is putting God last when it comes to healing broken relationships. Remember, it’s never too late to open up as a couple and let Him into your marriage.

Have you and your spouse prayed together today?
