No couple stands at the altar on their wedding day and thinks, \u201cmaybe we will get divorced.\u201d However, over 50% of marriages end in divorce. When you have a disability or raise a child with a disability, the divorce rate is even higher. While church attendance alone is not a foolproof method of staying together during difficult times, it does lower the divorce rate. One simple act can be the most powerful predictor of marital happiness<\/a>. Only 1% of couples that pray together end up divorced. Couples that pray together, stay together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My husband and I were recently asked, \u201cHow do you begin to pray as a couple?\u201d This is a question many wives (and some husbands) have difficulty with. Beginning to pray together is a hard thing. I believe that married couples have a more difficult time developing spiritual intimacy than sexual intimacy. While intimacy in our spiritual life has been more challenging than physical intimacy, working on our prayer life is a rewarding experience. And I know that you can develop a great prayer life with your spouse with practice, communication, and Holy Spirit’s help. Additionally, you can ensure that you almost divorce-proof your marriage, and instead of having a good relationship, you can have a great marriage.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
