Pray Always Ministry
Our Story
Like most couples, we started small—praying over meals, occasionally about work or the kids, and when life got hard.
We wish someone had shown us earlier: praying together changes everything.
We learned through experience. When life hit us hardest—career struggles, financial stress, marital conflict, a major career transition, and two life-threatening battles with the same rare illness 11 years apart—we stopped praying alone and started praying together.
That shift transformed our marriage.
Sitting together, discussing spiritual truths, and turning to God in prayer brought us closer to each other and to Him. Our relationship became more intimate, unified, and spiritually grounded.
We created the Pray2Stay Couples Prayer Journal so you could experience the same transformation in your marriage.
