will it improve our relationship?
Here's what people have said:
Unity
|
A recently married couple said: “When we started praying together it brought us closer”. When a couple prays together it makes it more difficult for “separateness” to undermine their relationship. |
| |
Another couple said: “Prayer brings restoration of unity, through forgiveness received and given.” |
| |
|
| Intimacy |
Mike Mason in 'The Mystery of Marriage' says: Emotional intimacy is increased. “Marriage is about nakedness, exposure, defencelessness, and the very extremities of intimacy. It is about simple unadorned truth between two human beings, truth at all levels and at all costs, and it does not care what pain or inconvenience must be endured in order for the habit of truth to take root, to be watered and to grow into maturity.” |

Graham and Jane Owen have been receiving and using When2Pray eprayers for some time now and they've both discovered increased intimacy in their relationship as a result. |
| |
|
| Oneness |
Liz and Dave Percival (Founders of the 2-in-2-1 marriage support website): “We are trying to be open with each other on all issues but most importantly trusting each other with our thoughts and judgements on what God is doing in our lives … For us praying together has been a journey of discovery towards “spiritual one-ness” that compliments our emotional and physical one-ness” . |

|
| Love |
At times Mark and Christine Daniel (FamilyLife and When2Pray) have found it hard to love each other with the love that is described in 1 Corinthians 13. They've found that God will help you to love each other in this way if you ask him. |
| |
|
| Vulnerability |
A couple said: “We have learnt to be vulnerable to each other by sharing hopes for the future or thoughts and concerns that go deep” . |
| |
|
| Understanding |
A couple discovered that through prayer: “We find we understand each other better” |
