5 Ways to C.O.V.E.R. Your Marriage in Prayer

What I like about this quote is its emphasis on how prayer changes us. Prayer increases our faith, softens our hearts, and settles our minds. To this point, every Christian should pray, and every Christian marriage should be fueled by prayer.

One of the most important things you will ever do for your marriage is to pray for your marriage. As a marriage coach, I help couples learn better ways of communicating and rebuilding trust, among other things. Learning great communication skills, conflict resolution techniques, and intimacy hacks are essential for a thriving marriage. However, if you’re leaving your marriage “uncovered” by failing to pray for your spouse and the success of your marriage, it will always be vulnerable to attacks from the enemy.

Prayer is the great unifier in marriage. It surpasses our understanding and logic. Many times, my husband and I have disagreed on something or have been distant for some reason, and when we pray, it’s as if the space between us all but vanishes. God is glorified, and we see each other through a new lens: a lens of peace, hope, and unconditional love. I want to share the acronym C.O.V.E.R I created that will help you to cover your marriage in prayer.
