Show notes

About This Episode Prayer is so important for a thriving Christian marriage, and God desires us to pray to Him for everything. In this episode, Jennifer and Aaron each share five verses they like to pray for each other, hoping to inspire you to pray with and for your spouse every day. They explain that praying Scripture isn't a magic formula, but a way of going to the Word of God and praying what it says over the person you love most. Along the way they talk about reading your own mail in Ephesians 5, praying for your spouse's confidence and freedom from sin, and why prayer helps protect your marriage from the enemy.
