We are on the final week of our Faith & Marriage Series here on Hearts & Stripes podcast.  In this episode I share how prayer can impact you thriving personally, in your marriage and with your legacy.  I even get transparent with sharing my prayer for marriages as it aligns with the God's picture of marriage that is outlined in the Word.  Yup, I was super nervous about sharing a prayer on the podcast, but if it blesses just one person then it was totally worth the knot in my stomach and momentary discomfort.

Top Takeaways:

1. Establish a prayer practice and faith relationship for yourself

Prayer For Marriage:

My prayer for marriage is that we would each see marriage as another gift. An opportunity to draw nearer to God in His mission to be glorified and point others toward Himself. That we would embrace the chance to be sanctified, becoming more like Christ, because of the differences and challenges with our spouse. Growing our dependence on and likeness  of Jesus every day. I pray our marriages would be so bizarrely unified (not perfect), fresh, and partnered with both our eyes on Christ that the world is drawn to ask "what are you looking at?" So that we, as 2 made 1, can reply with honor regarding the good news that brought us peace and core reason for our hope and ability to truly love one another.

Scripture Reference: 1 Peter 3:15 and 1 John 4:19
