Pray with & for your spouse
Pray for your marriage every day for 30 days. Pray for your spouse. Also pray with your spouse out loud. When we pray together daily we invite to power of the Holy Spirit to strengthen and grow our marriage. Make God and his way the foundation of your relationship, then you will experience the rich and full marriage he promises.
Pray for a shared mission, strength, communication, healing, health, love, romance, wisdom, protection, how to serve one another, ability to forgive, and many more things.

Pray for Two Other couples
Pick two other married couples from Mission Church and commit to pray for them daily for 30 days. Ask God to strengthen their unity, joy, and faith. Pray for protection, peace, and perseverance in their marriage.
Spiritual oneness grows in your own marriage when you join together to pray for other couples.
What does your marriage need right now? Pick a Christ-Centered resource to help strengthen that area. Don’t get hung up on if it’s the “perfect” resource; instead be focused on having a willing heart. We listed a few resources below to help. Read a little at a time… talk about what stands out with each other. Ask: “How is God growing us through this?”
Read Together
gather with another couple
Gather with one or two other couples at least once this month. Make space for prayer, growth, and encouragement—not just small talk and catching up.
This is an invitation to go a little deeper. Push past the usual barriers. Share honestly. Pray for one another. Talk about what God is doing in your marriages.
Connect with someone from your small group, close friends at Mission Church, or couples you’re already doing life with. You might even choose to read the same Christ-centered resource together and talk through what you’re learning.
This isn’t therapy. It’s friends following Jesus together. You don’t have to have it all figured out—just be willing to show up and allow the Holy Spirit to shape you.
