Praying Couples Divorce 50% Less- 3 Things To Do To Save Your Marriage Or Prepare For One

Dr. Alduan Tartt, licensed clinical psychologist and minister, discusses three habits that couples should have as believers to improve marital success and decrease divorce rates.

If you want a stronger relationship, don’t just say you both believe in God—practice your faith together.


Harvard’s Human Flourishing Program highlighted a 14-year study showing that regular religious service attendance was associated with about a 50% lower risk of divorce.  


That should get every couple’s attention. First, pray together. Even if it’s only two or three minutes, invite God into the middle of what you’re building, because Jesus said,


“For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” (Matthew 18:20)


Second, study Scripture together and ask how it applies to your real relationship. Don’t just read the Bible devotionally—read it relationally.


God’s Word is meant to guide how you speak, forgive, and love: “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” (Psalm 119:105)


Third, serve together. Couples get stuck when the relationship becomes only about their feelings, problems, and unmet needs. But when you pray for others, bless others, and serve together, your love gains purpose and your bond gets deeper.


Joshua said it plainly: “But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15)


Ladies, if you want a relationship that feels spiritually alive, don’t settle for a man who only says he loves God—build with a man who will pray with you, grow with you, and serve with you.


Couples, don’t just admire this kind of relationship—start it. Pray this week. Read one passage this week. Bless one person this week. Small spiritual habits can change the entire emotional climate of your relationship.
