Marriage Ministry

Ephesians 5:31-32

Providing God-centered opportunities to learn about and strengthen marriage relationships.

Prayer Prompts

Praying and inviting God into every situation helps marriages. Couples who pray together daily are less likely to divorce, with less than 1% ending their marriages compared to the national average of 50%. Most couples don't pray together regularly but we want to encourage you to change this.

To begin the habit of daily prayer, start by praying and reading the verse individually for a few minutes daily. After a few days, discuss the verse and prayers with your spouse. Reflect on whether the prompt leads to deeper prayers or connections to other verses. Eventually, try praying together either silently in the same room or aloud.

New prayers and verses will be posted weekly.

This Week's Prayer Prompt
