Pray Together

• Intimacy between a couple that is considering marriage can be very high. During this time, a couple also can increase intimacy with God. One of the most important ways to do this is through prayer. When considering marriage, pray together and watch as your spiritual and personal relationships flourish. Praying together as a couple will increase your bond and communication. At first, it may feel awkward, but through it, you will understand each other on a much deeper level.
  
  

Commitment

• Praying together as a couple will have a strong impact on your commitment level to each other and to God. Commitment plays a large part in strengthening your relationship and preventing divorce. By committing to each other and to God now when things are good, you are committing to each other and to God later when things might be tough. Commitment increases your dedication and promise to each other and to God.
  
  

Compatibility

• Part of having a strong relationship and marriage is to have spiritual compatibility. Praying together as a couple while considering marriage can help you understand if you are spiritually compatible or not. You don't need to have the same beliefs, but find out if you are a compatible match. If your values are completely different, then that could mean disaster down the road. Better for you to find out now while considering marriage rather than later.
  
  

Ask for Prayers

• If you are considering marriage, you can ask people who are close to you to offer their prayers. Asking for prayers does not need to be reserved for only the sick or the needy. People like to offer their prayers for exciting and happy things as well. Ask family, friends and each other to offer prayers, so you can make the right decision. Build a strong network and support now, and they will be with you forever.
