Research is clear that the practice of faith makes a considerable difference in marriage. Perhaps nothing is so basic and common among all Christian denominations and church affiliations than prayer. We were created by a God who longs to communicate with us. That dialogue is meant to be a two-way conversation in which we listen and we speak. Sometimes we make it more difficult than it needs to be. Dr. Timothy Heck, former ordained Minister, marriage and family therapist with three decades of experience working with couples, graduate professor and researcher, brings his study on prayer home in this simple compilation of 40 original prayers for marriage. His education, clinical experience and research has convinced him of this one truth–nothing makes a greater difference in our lives and in marriage than prayer. Take his dare for the next 40 days. Ask your spouse to join you in praying just one simple prayer a day. He also gives readers a simple exercise at the conclusion of each prayer that will only help enhance the focus of the prayer. These 40 prayers may just change the course of your marriage forever!
