Agree or disagree: A couple who PRAYS together STAYS together?


🤮🤮🤮
I know lots of couple who aren't religious and don't pray to any god but have been married for a long time.
Neither my wife nor I are religious. We have spiritual values that have nothing to do with religion or the gods. You don't need Biblical guidance or fear of God to have healthy morals or values. We've been married now for almost 26 years. We've done so much and had so much fun over the years, and have built a wonderful life together.
So I think praying is irrelevant.
Yes, God is love so excluding him can lead to disaster, did people think that getting married at a church was just a gesture people do for no reason? Even tho it's not necessary to get married in a church to involve him, the symbolism is that they should involve God in their marriage and getting married and connecting the relationship to God is beneficial to the relationship, that's why there's so many divorces and that's because God teaches all the efforts you should put in to keep a relationship healthy but people don't want to hear it and jump head first.
I would have to disagree.
I mean, I respect to everyone’s belief and a religion.
But I would find it so sad, if my partner and I bonded over praying together 🤣
I mean, it means non of us are capable.
For me, the ideal relationship is, when my partner doesn’t need to pray, cause whatever problem he has, I’ll be next to him to solve it, I’ll try becoming a god for the day he needs me to be so and I hope he can do the same for me.
If we both sit and pray, who will make things happen?
I’ll tell you what kind of lover I am, my ex fiancé didn’t have a diploma and he really wished to have graduated from the university, he was a grrat salesman and could have a very high salary, had he have a degree.
Had we not broken up, my present to his birthday was going to be a Diploma. I know people who know people…
And when I love someone there’s nothing I’ll stop at, to make his life easier and happier.
If he wants to pray, he can and his prayers will be heard, maybe not by the God, but they’ll be heard by me and sometimes that can be enough.
But I really hope I can have someone like me.
I know divorced people who are very religious, some are pastors on their second wives. I think a husband and wife that are aggressive about protecting their homes and their families and have a healthy social life and team work skills last forever. A relationship is like a muscle - if you don't work it - you become irrelevant. If you are irrelevant your partner might tolerate you in a hostile environment or you might break up.

Not necessarily. Some atheist don't pray and they stay married til death.
Muslims pray to a false god and they stay together.
Hindus in India worship idols which are demons and that country has an extremely low divorce rate.
That entirely depends on what they're praying and what they're doing.
Aww... bless your heart, naïve kiddo.
Take it you've never heard of church going couples getting divorces?
I agree but correlation is not causation. Basically, technically true but probably couples who pray together are less likely to believe in divorce than those who don't.
no, plenty of people that go to church all the time get divorced anyway
True, how ironic.
@TenderFantasy yes but church is still a worthwhile institution. Maybe flawed but still worthwhile.
I agree for the most part, staying together means being willing to work on your relationship and some people even Christians are not willing to do that.
Can see truth in that. People involved in marriages should love each other for the sake of God.
If that is your faith and you are not playing with God then yes it can certainly be true.
That is not healthy.
It's not guaranteed but it certainly increases thier chances. Both still have to do the work. God can't do that for them.
We've been praying for the last 44 years. And we're still together.
Religion is irrelevant in life. Hard work and communication keeps relationships going.
Disagree with that saying.
Probably a better chance of it
"Sadly" from my experience, it doesn't always mean that, but just thought I'd ask what other's thought.
The more things in common the better usually, communication is the best thing for staying together and being kind to each other. Maybe the people only have prayer in common and fight about everything else so that could be the problem so it’s not just one thing that keeps people together so it’s really how much they love each other
@Likes2drive Yes agreed.
depends. some couples are religious, some aren’t.
So there is no hope for an atheist like me?
I don't know hehe 😉. Never said there wasn't. I also never said I was religious either haha. But yeah, I DID grow up roman catholic. However, still sort of confused. Maybe I'll NEVER know the true answer until you know... or maybe the truth is relative? I really don't know! Hehe.. Anywho..
Hilariously false.
not always in my life
I know several divorced pastors, so...
