Thomas Nelson Book review: Couples Who Pray
My latest Book Sneeze book review for Thomas Nelson, Couples Who Pray: The Most Intimate Act between a Man and Woman, by husband and wife team Squire Rushnell and Louise Duart.
In a time where many couples are looking for ways to have a more meaningful marriage it is nice to know the simple act of praying together can do just that.
I found this book to be more encouraging than anything. Rushnell and Duart along with several high profile couples share their testimonies as they reveal the secret in keeping their marriage connected, strong and filled with intimacy while maintaining their busy lives through the act of daily prayer as a couple.
Although I did not find this book to be filled with a lot of details in how to get started it does offer a five minutes a day, forty day challenge for couples who want to start in a prayer life together. It is nice to know through the simple act of praying together ones marriage can be strengthen and can/will cause a deeper level of intimacy.
As a wife to a wonderful man of 28 plus years we both felt the need to bring ourselves closer to God as a couple/one flesh not just as individuals, so we started praying together over a year ago and I will have to say, the things stated in this book have taking place in our marriage. We have found our prayers have become open and unguarded as we as a couple bring our fears, cares, and concerns to the Lord.
If a couple is looking for step by step instructions this may not be the book for you but if you are a couple who want to be encouraged through the testimonies of others then I would recommend this book.
