Prayer in marriage is so important because we are inviting the Lord in to help us!

[@beckyc3127]

I am so glad he said what he did about it being awesome to be married. There is some thing that goes around on Facebook every once in a while about how hard marriage is and it mentions all their trials of marriage and then kind of as an afterthought it says how wonderful marriage is. I am in my 40s and have never been married, but would like to be. At times, if I say that to a married person, they immediately tell me how hard marriage is. I think that’s a disservice to marriage. There’s no wonder that fewer young people are getting married because they always hear how hard it is. For those of us who are older singles, talking about the difficulties of marriage, does not take away the desire to get married. I think we need to follow Jim’s example and admit that it’s pretty awesome. I think we need to take back marriage!

Thank you so much for this wonderful conversation. Especially for showing us different ways to look at our spouse and especially to pray for them.

I love how the Holy Spirit brings to remembrance what it is that we’re desiring from our spouse and are able to pray about it.

[@Janderra]

What was the marriage course she was talking about?

[@debbieherrera6703]

Me and the fridge i leave the doors open even when I start cooking. Wow my faults may be just as bad. Lol

[@cameronmccreary4758]

I suppose being married is nice, I've never been married. Later in life I discovered that Our Lord brings the people together. He never brought an available lady to me inside or outside of church. I am 66 years old soon to be 67 and disabled due to being hit by an SUV in a crosswalk. It is a difficult life; I don't believe that a woman is going to want that kind of life.

[@Aqui..]

The right woman won't see physical disability as anything other than a challenge. It's not necessarily a deal breaker when it comes to marriage. I hope and pray that you find a wonderful companion who you can be a blessing to and who shall bless you.

Better sans.

My wife prays for my death, but we don't have a life insurance policy, so I am essentially worthless in that she can tolerate me indefinitely. 😂
