Develop a Stronger Marriage by Worshiping and Praying Together

Statically, research has demonstrated that married couples who attend church together on a regular basis have the lowest chance of divorce of any other groups of people who are married.

Studies have also demonstrated to show that religion and spirituality are an important part of family member’s lives in difficult times and during times of chronic illness.

This is because religion and spirituality provide a unique and personal way of giving the victims coping skills in these trying times.  
  

Spirituality can provide a deeper meaning to individual’s lives which can then set a precedence for an honorable moral standard. This can then extend to demonstrate a sense of a moral link in relationships with others.

Thus it is true- 
the couple who prays together...stays together!
