Step 2:
Take Time in Prayer

LORD,
You are the most important person in our lives, and we need to find our joy and peace in You, rather than in each other.
Grow us and help us make You the center of our lives.
When we don’t depend on each other – but on You – for our every need, our marriage can become even stronger.
Thank You for blessing us with this marriage, and thank You for the relationship we get to enjoy with You.
Amen.
