Question from a reader:

We are wondering about the importance of married couples having Bible study and prayer together. How we should go about it?

Answer from Randy Alcorn:

Nanci and I pray together every night at bedtime, with pretty much no exceptions. We both are in the Word during the day, but usually at different times and places. We seek to share what we’re learning, and it's rich when we do, but it’s also true there is nothing like devotions together as a couple, which we’ve done periodically. Hope what follows is helpful for you both.
