A Praying Marriage

A Praying Marriage

My wife Mandy and I recently celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. It’s always amazes me how quickly the time passes once children enter the picture. Having five children can certainly add to the pressure of married life. Something Mandy and I have decided to struggle with is to fight for one another by praying instead of against one another by arguing. We certainly don’t do this perfectly, but seek to apologize and ask forgiveness when we miss God’s best. From one imperfect marriage to another, let me encourage husbands and wives listening to deal with the difficulties of married life in humble prayer. Forgive one another, and cover one another in as much intercession as possible. Some battles simply must be won on bended knee. Now that’s something to pray about!
