A couple without prayer is a dead couple.

“Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.” — James 5:16

Every time you offend your spouse, speak to them because words bring healing. Most people, when they offend their spouse, buy gifts to signify forgiveness. But gifts do not solve the problem (do not wait for conflicts to give gifts). Openly asking for forgiveness is essential. Many proud men do not know how to say sorry. Saying sorry heals your wife’s wounded soul.

The submissive wife must also accept to forgive her spouse. But resentful and melancholic women, even when their husbands ask for forgiveness, continue in their madness, persisting in enmity. Ladies and gentlemen, please forgive each other for God’s blessing upon your marriage.

In the home, the man and the woman must pray together. Agree on the duration of couple prayer, and if someone wants to go further, they can find time alone before their God. Do not force your spouse to do extra prayers. The strength of the couple lies in prayer; for example, spiritual warfare prayers help drive away demons and witchcraft spirits that try to divide homes.

When you do not pray together, you are no longer a couple before God but rather roommates, neighbors. Therefore, during the day, have a time of prayer, either in the morning or in the evening. Most of the time, homes that do not pray together do so because of arguments. A couple that argues and goes to bed on separate sides opens the door to witches, demons, and anti-marriage spirits.

Notice that even if demons and witches enter your home and do not kill you, they can bring misfortune if you remain divided.

Note: When you have disagreements, always resolve them before going to bed. Never accept to sleep without praying and while still angry.

“Husbands, in the same way, be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.” — 1 Peter 3:7

Whenever the home is divided, the Lord’s face is turned away from it and all its activities. When a blessing is on the horizon, the devil does everything to prevent the home from receiving it. So, he will stir up anger in the man against his wife or in the woman against her husband without cause, to create division. Be vigilant, have discernment, and walk according to the Spirit of God.

The devil wants to diminish your praise; that’s why he creates conflict within homes. In the household, avoid hiding things from each other. If you are a man, when a woman attracts you or you have committed impurity, go and confess to your wife and pray together to overturn the situation. The wife must also be mature enough to help her husband in prayer.

Note that when you confess to your wife, the battle stops because she will pray with you, “two are better than one.” If you are Christians, you will be tested. If a man is incapable of telling everything to his wife, he will make many mistakes and commit many sins. When you have thoughts about another woman, Jesus says: you commit adultery with her in your heart. Tell your wife, and she will help you pray, and you will be delivered.

“Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.” — Matthew 18:19

All prayers of agreement within the couple are always answered…
