The Best Advice We Received

People have already begun asking us, “What advice would you give someone who is about to enter into their marriage?”

Without a doubt, the best advice we can give, is the advice we received. This advice will radically launch your marriage into one that is centered IN Christ, and built it upon His firm foundation.

The advice we give now too is this: Pray together every day.

Every single day.

It may sound simple, but let it sink into your spirit so that you never forget. Prayer changes everything. We know that from God’s Word.

How incredible is it that in marriage, God gives us a built-in prayer partner. Matthew 18:20 says, “For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them.” You are able to literally cultivate the presence in your how every single day, because you two are gathered in His Name.

There are going to be times in your marriage where you are worried about a situation you are walking through together. However, the Bible says, “Do not be anxious about anything, instead, pray about everything.”

There will be a time when one of you are annoyed or irritated by something so minor, but at the time it consumes your day. Ephesians 4:26-27 says, “Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil.” Pray together before you go to bed. It changes things.

You can always start the prayer in an argument, but you just can’t end the prayer mad. It is just True. Something happens when you are partnered together in the presence of God. Prayer works. And I am convinced that praying with Christian every day for the rest of our lives, is the best thing we can do to strength our marriage, and one of the greatest gifts I will ever receive.
