Good communication is a fundamental key to real companionship and prayer is the hand that turns the key to open this door. You may be wondering just why prayer is so important to couples. She has written over 50 novels and novellas, and has over 2 million books in print.
If you or your spouse feels uncomfortable or embarrassed praying out loud in front of the other, don't be discouraged. Whatever you don't pray about in your life you leave up to chance. It all begins with what comes out of your mouth.
Couples Praying Together - Prayer develops and deepens your communication. We also get to pray together about issues that concern both of us.
For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with idols? Prayer for Abstinence Great God in heaven, please help me to control my natural urges and impulses and to live a life of holiness, controlling my own body and not taking advantage of the one who I am dating. I know that only the marriage bed is undefiled Heb 13:4 and that all the sexually immoral will not be inheriting the kingdom of heaven 1st Cor 6:9 so help me to run away from my desire to commit sexual immorality which is sinning against my own body 1st Cor 6:18 but against the one I am dating too. I do not want to cause my partner to sin but it is so hard in this world because of the promiscuous nature of mankind. I know that you have called us to live lives that are pleasing to you and to be holy as you have called us to be holy. I do not want to take advantage of someone else just to satisfy my own flesh and in the mighty prayer of Jesus Christ I pray, amen. Prayer for Unity Righteous God in couple, I need Your Spirit to help me be unified with the one I am dating. Since we are both believers, we must know that we should live a life above reproach and that others are watching us, particularly those who are not saved and if we are not living a holy life, we can bring shame to the cause of Christ by our bad example. I couple that I will have to give an account to You someday so please convict me when I am considering something sinful or thinking about something that is contrary to what You teach in the Bible. Please dating me to know my partner better so that in prayer, I can have clarity as to whether this is the person You would be pleased to have me marry, if it comes to that. Conclusion If you are dating an unbeliever, then you are living is disobedience to God. We cannot mix oil and water together any more than we can dating and darkness. Some of the loneliest people I know are people who married someone that is radically different than who you thought they were. It is better to live a life of singleness than to live in a marriage that is unequally yoked because that can bring a lot of misery. Article by Pastor Jack Wellman.
