Episode 4:
How Should a Couple Pray Together?

Prayer is an important aspect of spiritual intimacy. But how should married couples approach prayer together? In this fifth episode, Dr. Robert and Jenni Paul discuss how couples can grow together as they communicate with God.

Watch the video to get started. Then check out the Scripture verse, discussion questions, prayer, and additional resources.

 

Step 1: Watch Episode 5

Step 2:
Read and Meditate on Scripture

“The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.
He fulfills the desire of those who fear him;
he also hears their cry and saves them.”

(Psalm 145:18-19, ESV)

Step 3:
Questions For Discussion

  1. Some people feel inadequate in their prayer. Do you or your spouse ever feel this way? Why or why not?

  2. Bob and Jenni talk about prayer being a way to commune with God. As you pray to God, how are you allowing Him to show Himself to you? How can you improve that aspect of your prayer life?

Step 2:
Take Time in Prayer

God,
Help us as we pray together in our marriage. Remind us that You want us to pray because it brings us closer to You
and allows us to form a deeper relationship with our Lord and Savior.
You want us to get to know You more and more in our practice of prayer.
Help us be able to do that together in our marriage, and help us overcome any obstacles along the way.
Amen.
