Today's study looks at the importance of praying together. So for the last month (since my last post here) I have been working at redeveloping the good habit of praying with Liz before I go to bed each night.
We can think of old slogans like "The family that prays together stays together". It is vital for any marriage that we pray for each other, and we pray together. Liz has sometimes said she needs me to be the spiritual leader. That's true. It's the right order. So my commitment, as well as praying for her often in my own prayer times through the day, is to pray with her each night.
Sometimes I forget, and instead of going back downstairs I just pray as I get into bed. But often I remember my commitment and go down to her and pray.
I am working at this, a most basic part as it should be, of our relationship. I am ashamed that I ever let the spiritual side of our marriage slip as it did. But I am not letting it stay that way. I will lead well, and I will set the right patterns and examples.
