Selena, I'm actually shocked a little bit by speaking with some couples, good friends,

0:06.1

and even couples we meet through ministry, through the through online stuff, how

0:13.4

frequently we run into couples that aren't comfortable praying with one another.

0:19.3

And it made me think, you know, maybe this is worth revisiting on the podcast, on the YouTube channel.

0:25.2

Prayer happens to be a very important part of the Christian life. And so it's especially important

0:31.1

for our marriage, right? And it's not just a means to an end, and that is communing with God,

0:38.1

but it's also, it has a transformational effect on the heart, hearts of those who would submit

0:42.8

1:47.2

bringing your requests, your supplications, your worries, everything, you're bringing it to God.

1:53.0

And then when you're doing that together, I think men especially, I think feel very vulnerable in it.

2:01.2

And so, I don't know. We're going to talk about prayer. Yeah, we're going to talk about what prayer is,

2:05.6
