Tonight we begin the How-to part of this series. The single most important relationship that a person will ever have in their life is their marriage relationship. More important than their parents, children, pastor, friend, you name it. As a result it is seriously important to know how to pray and to pray for your spouse. We are about building strong marriages and this series is designed for that purpose.
In this series we want to teach you from the word of God how to build a strong marriage through prayer. A prerequisite to this series is our series on How to Pray for a Loved One. There are 7 Spirit Anointed Prayers that we taught and in praying for your spouse or future spouse you will want to pray for them. In addition to these seven prayers there are some very specific things that you should pray.
Having done years of counseling there are systemically 5 areas in a marriage that a break down or failure in any one of these areas can ultimately lead to a divorce. In marriage counseling we especially focus on four of the five, and in particular there is one area that is most important than the other four.
#1 Personal Relationship with God through Jesus
(Career, Extended Family, Friends, etc.)
Respectfully then, we are going to learn how to pray over each of these major components of marriage.
