Thou Shalt Pray and Worship Together

Inviting God into your marriage changes everything.

Shared prayer and worship create a spiritual rhythm that guides decisions, frames priorities, and protects intimacy. It need not be elaborate: a two-minute bedside prayer, reading one verse aloud, or a weekly devotional keeps the couple tethered to God’s story and one another.

When you pray for each other, you move from mere observation into spiritual partnership.

Pray specifically: names, needs, temptations, and dreams. Worship together; sing, give thanks aloud, or attend church side by side; so you develop a shared language of faith. Jesus promises His presence when two or more gather; your joint prayers invite that presence into households, finances, and parenting decisions.

If shared spiritual practices are new or rusty, begin small.

Pick a single verse to pray together each night, or set a weekly 10-minute time to share spiritual wins and burdens. Over time, these habits form a deep spiritual intimacy that sustains the marriage through seasons of change.

Application

Has it been a while since you locked hands and bent knees together?

You can start tonight: choose one verse and pray a two-sentence prayer for each other. Repeat nightly for a week.

Prayer

Lord, make us one in You. Teach us to seek You together and to lead our home by Your Spirit.
