Get Past the Awkwardness of Praying with Your Spouse
My husband and I have found that praying together is one of the most important things we can do for our marriage.

How Time with God Can Improve Your Life and Marriage
Back when I was a young, stay-at-home mom of three sons, my personal Bible study and prayer time looked somewhat different than it does today. I remember realizing that the best window of time to be alone with God was while my sons were either napping and/or at school. Still, I had to know when…
