Who you choose to marry is one of the most important decisions of your life. This decision affects everything that will happen to you from that point forward. So how much have you and your significant other prayed together about your shared life to come?
The best time to start praying for your marriage is before you say, "I do." This devotional guide helps you learn how to pray together for twelve specific areas of your relationship, including
· the purpose of marriage · communication and conflict · spiritual, emotional, and sexual intimacy · understanding your roles and your differences · friendship and romance · money · parenting · and more
It may sound like a cliché when you hear the old adage that "couples who pray together stay together," but the reality is that the divorce rate for couples who pray together, out loud, on a consistent basis is less than one percent. Prayer is key to a strong and lasting relationship. The Ready or Knot Prayer Guide shows you how to develop a lifelong habit to sustain a lifelong marriage.
I read Scott Kedersha’s book “Ready or Knot” several years ago, and so I was excited to discover the newly released companion entitled “The Ready or Knot Prayer Guide: 100 Prayers for Dating and Engaged Couples”. This is a superb little book that will be so helpful for anyone in a serious relationship, and I highly recommend it.
A couple of the things I like most about this book is how it can be ready chronologically, or by topic simply by browsing the table of contents. I also like how down-to-earth and relatable the writing style is, plus the prayers at the end of each devotional are great on their own, yet easily extended with your own words, feelings, requests, and petitions to our Lord.
Overall this is an excellent book for the target audience, and whether or not you have read the original book, it is certain to impact many couples striving to honor God with their relationship.
