🎙️How to Pray With Purpose and Hope in an Unequally Yoked Marriage
Being in different spiritual places can be one of the loneliest experiences in marriage. You may love your spouse deeply and love God sincerely — yet still feel spiritually alone, unsure how to pray without pressure, frustration, or loss of hope.
In this episode of The Praying Couple® Podcast, Mike and Carlie speak directly to couples who are navigating spiritual imbalance with tenderness, biblical clarity, and deep compassion. This is not a message of condemnation or quick fixes. It is a message of hope, surrender, and trust in God’s patient work.
Using Scripture as our foundation, we explore how God views spiritually uneven marriages, what prayer is — and what it was never meant to be — and how believing spouses can pray with purpose without carrying the burden of control or outcomes.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
Why being unequally yoked is not always the result of rebellion or failure
What Scripture says about God’s presence and power in spiritually uneven marriages
Why prayer is not meant to pressure, persuade, or perform
How God works gently and patiently in hearts over time
Practical, biblical ways to pray with peace, purpose, and long-term hope
Encouragement for spouses who feel spiritually alone but still faithful
This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered:
How do I keep praying without losing hope?
How do I trust God when change feels slow?
How do I love my spouse well without carrying what only God can do?
You are not alone — and your prayers are not wasted.

Why Most Couples Quit Praying Together and How to Start Again
Many couples don’t stop praying together because they don’t care — they stop because discouragement slowly takes root. Missed days turn into missed weeks, and guilt quietly replaces confidence.
In this episode of The Praying Couple® Podcast, Mike and Carlie speak directly to couples who have tried to pray together before and found themselves stopping, restarting, and feeling defeated.
This is a grace-filled conversation rooted in Scripture that reminds you, God is not disappointed in your marriage — and that beginning again is not failure, but faith.
In this episode, we discuss:
Why willpower alone was never meant to sustain prayer
How Scripture addresses weariness and discouragement
The difference between conviction and condemnation
Why God’s mercy is designed to meet you new every morning
How grace, not guilt, builds consistency
If you’ve ever felt ashamed for not “sticking with it,” this episode is an invitation to lay that weight down and respond to God’s gentle call to begin again.
👉 Take the next step:
If you’re ready for guidance, rhythm, and support as you rebuild prayer in your marriage, we invite you to join The Marriage Prayer Club — created for couples who want consistency without pressure.

Why Everyday Prayer Is the Secret Weapon for Lasting Marriages
Many Christian couples love God and are committed to their marriage — yet still feel distant over time. In this episode of The Praying Couple® Podcast, Mike and Carlie talk about one of the most overlooked reasons this happens: prayer becoming occasional instead of foundational.
This conversation isn’t about praying longer or sounding more spiritual. It’s about returning to God’s design for marriage — inviting Him into the everyday rhythms where unity, peace, and emotional safety are formed.
Using Scripture as our foundation, we explore why prayer was never meant to be an emergency response, but a daily anchor that softens hearts, guards peace, and strengthens covenant.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
Why spiritual drift in marriage often happens quietly
What the Bible says about unity and agreement in prayer
Why consistency matters more than eloquence
How everyday prayer reshapes the emotional and spiritual climate of a marriage
Encouragement for couples who feel disconnected but are still hopeful
If you’ve ever said, “We want to pray together… we just don’t know how to make it stick,” this episode is for you.
👉 Take the next step:
If this episode stirred your heart and you’re longing for consistency, structure, and support, we invite you to explore The Marriage Prayer Club — a faith-filled space designed to help couples pray together daily with confidence and intention.

Episode 010: A Prayer for Revival in Your Marriage
Today's prayer is all about revival in your marriage. The verse we're standing on for today's prayer is Ezekiel 37:4-6 (NIV): Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! 5 This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath[a] enter you, and you will come to life. 6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”
Today we are praying that God would restore dead marriages and cause them to live! No matter what you are facing today, know that when we speak God's life-giving word over our circumstances, it has to submit to His authority. He who promised is faithful!

Episode 009: A Prayer for Your Unequally Yoked Marriage
Today's prayer is for those who have an unsaved spouse. Our foundational verse for today's prayer is 2 Corinthians 6:15 (AMP): "Do not be unequally bound together with unbelievers [do not make mismatched alliances with them, inconsistent with your faith]. For what partnership can righteousness have with lawlessness? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?"
Today we are praying that your unsaved spouse would come into agreement with the Holy Spirit and accept Christ as their Lord and Savior. We are coming against the conflict that being unequally yoked can cause and asking God to create agreement instead.

Episode 007: A Prayer for Forgiveness in Marriage
Today's prayer for forgiveness in marriage is founded on Mark 11:25 (AMP):
"Whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him (drop the issue, let it go), so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions and wrongdoings [against Him and others]."
Today we are praying for God to help us walk in forgiveness with ourselves and those who have hurt us. Forgiving others isn't always an easy thing to do, but if God calls us to do something, He will help us to accomplish it every step of the way.
