“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. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” Matthew 18:19-20 (NIV)
What if there was a simple relationship tool available to all couples, one that could elevate an ordinary marriage and take it to extraordinary heights? Wouldn’t you want to try it?
Between us, Nick and I had over 70 years of marriage under our belts when we met each other in 2021. One would assume then we’d know everything there was to know about commitment, communication, and the covenant of a marriage relationship. Yet in all those years with our first spouse, we can’t recall praying with them outside of the rote prayers of our Catholic faith, at church or the dinner table, unless perhaps it was a quick prayer under duress. We’d certainly never held hands to pray out loud for our marriage or each other. We weren’t even sure how to do that kind of praying for ourselves, until the darkness of grief got us down on our knees.
We are convinced now that unified prayer would have benefited our first marriages. How could it not? Yet, many of us grew up never having observed a model of couples praying together. Praying out loud with our spouse might feel unnatural. Vulnerable.
No matter where you are in your relationship, whether newly engaged or married for fifty years, praying together as a couple is one of the most rewarding and intimate spiritual disciplines a couple can embrace in their walk with God.
On February 9, in Wheatland, Iowa, Nick and I will be sharing what we have learned and provide guidance in unlocking the key to the practice of praying together.
What better gift to give yourself as a couple than a delicious five-course prime rib dinner with a program that will enrich and fortify your marriage? Cost is $75 and includes the meal for two.

Mary, I’m delighted you and Nick have this unifying blessing in your marriage. I pray that others will glean from you shared experience at the dinner session in February. God bless you!
Wonderful, Mary! I’m so happy for you and Nick.
