One of the biggest goals my husband and I have set this year is simple, but powerful: to start praying together more consistently.
We’ve both believed in God for a long time, but if I’m being honest praying together hasn’t always come naturally. Not because we didn’t want to, but because it felt new, a little awkward, or sometimes just easy to skip in the busyness of everyday life.
But this year, we made the decision: we don’t want to build our marriage on our own strength anymore. We want Christ to be the center of our home, our parenting, and especially our relationship. And that means learning to talk to Him-together.
We’re still figuring it out. There are days we forget. Some nights we just hold hands in silence, not sure what to say. Other times, one of us prays aloud while the other listens quietly. It’s not perfect or polished, but it’s honest.
And I think that’s the most beautiful part. It doesn’t have to be fancy, it just has to be intentional.
Praying together has started to shift the way we show up for each other. We’re more aware of each other’s hearts. We carry one another’s burdens differently. And we’re reminded that we’re on the same team—not just for the day-to-day stuff—but for eternity.
So if you’re in a season where praying together feels intimidating, awkward, or just unfamiliar-I want you to know, you’re not alone. It’s okay to start small. It’s okay to grow slowly. The point isn’t perfection, it’s connection. With God and each other.
Here are a few simple things that have helped us begin:
- Start with gratitude. Thank God for your spouse, your child, or just making it through the day.
- Pray short, honest prayers. “God, help us be patient today.” or “Lord, give us wisdom as parents.”
- Take turns praying aloud. Even once a week.
- Keep a shared prayer journal where you write down things you’re both praying for.
- Be okay with silence. Even sitting quietly before God together is powerful.
We’re still learning. Still stumbling forward. But our hope is that day by day, prayer becomes as normal in our home as breathing—because we know that what we build with God lasts.
If you’re on this journey too, I’d love to hear about it. Let’s keep showing up- even imperfectly—and watch what God can do when two hearts come together in faith.
