"The Couple That Prays Together Stays Together"

We don't pray together but we do share the same religious beliefs. We did get married at the church so our officiant who is the pastor prayed

Is it a conscious choice not to pray together? Or did it just never naturally happen?

Well we're both atheist so we share that!

We share the same beliefs but we let life get in the way and for awhile we sifted away from our usual bible studies and praying together. We are working on getting back to doing our chapter readings together at least.

I think I remember you sharing that in another discussion. Being an atheist means you don't believe in Gods right? Do you say positive affirmations for your life together?

I'm happy that the two of you desire to get back to reading the bible together. I think it makes couples closer.

View Quoted Comment Not sure what positive affirmations would be outside religion because I've only ever heard them in prayer. But we try to pick something nice from our day to focus on.

Thanks for sharing.

We don't pray together. We have similar spiritual beliefs but do not feel organized religion is for everyone. She wants to incorporate bible passages into the ceremony and I said I would be willing to have one in there.

I agree that it's not for everyone.

I Feel that it is another saying to promote one group over the other. So my fiancé and I are atheist we don’t pray. We Do not believe in God. So then we are not going to stay together?

I don't think the saying promotes one group over another, a lot of groups pray. Also, just because you are apart of a particular group does not mean you pray together.

View Quoted Comment This is the feeling I always get when I see this phrase and so it always leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

View Quoted Comment Thanks for sharing your perspective.

View Quoted Comment But if the couples that pray togather stay together. What about the couple that does not pray together?

View Quoted Comment It's just a saying, it does not mean your marriage will end in divorce because you and your spouse don't pray. A lot of articles claim that when couple's pray together they communicate more often and are happier. However, we know that every couple sets their own standards and circumstances for success. What works for one does not necessarily work for all.

We don’t usually pray together but if we are with his family we will. He’s an LDS member and I am not, nor plan on ever being. But, we respect each other so much and don’t have problems with it at all!
