Deepening Your Connection: Praying Circles Around Your Marriage
Oct 17, 2025
Hey friends,
We’re so excited to share something special that’s part of our upcoming Marriage Cruise — our featured book, Praying Circles Around Your Marriage.
If you’re anything like us, you probably don’t spend nearly enough time having deep, meaningful conversations with your spouse. Life gets busy. Between work, kids, bills, and schedules, most of our communication can become very strategic: “What’s for dinner?” “Who’s picking up the kids?” “What’s on the calendar?”
Even though we spend a ton of time together running a business, it’s easy to let the deeper conversations slip through the cracks. That’s why we love reading books like this one together. It helps us go beyond logistics and really connect. To talk about things that matter, to check in with each other, and to strengthen our marriage.
A Book Designed for Both of You
Praying Circles Around Your Marriage is a powerful book that alternates perspectives between husband and wife, giving both voices a place in the conversation. Each chapter focuses on a “circle,” a specific area of growth and prayer in your relationship.
Here’s a glimpse at what you’ll discover:
- The Vision Circle
Where are you going as a couple? What do you see for your relationship, your family, and your future together? This circle helps you align your vision and dream as one. - The War Circle
Marriage is about learning how to fight for one another. This chapter explores how to pray, believe, and press into God’s promises together, even when life gets tough. - The Romance Circle
It’s easy to slip into being life partners or even roommates when things get busy. The romance circle reminds us to intentionally pursue one another and keep the spark alive. - The Dance Circle
Marriage is a rhythm and sometimes we step on each other’s toes. This circle is all about learning how to move in sync, just like professional dancers who make it look effortless through practice, grace, and teamwork. - The Support Circle
Who’s in your corner? This chapter encourages you to look at the community surrounding your marriage. Who’s speaking into your lives, encouraging you, and challenging you to grow? - The Storm Circle
Every couple will face storms…loss, transitions, major life changes. This circle helps you prepare for those seasons and reminds you to pray together through them, not just react to them. - The Legacy Circle
Finally, what kind of legacy are you building? Not just financially, but relationally and spiritually. Who are you mentoring, and who’s mentoring you? How are you investing in the next generation of marriages and families?
Surround Yourself With Growth
We all need people who pour into us, and we all have something to pour out. As you think about your own marriage, consider these questions:
- What couples are you learning from?
- Who are you investing in?
- Do you have relationships with people in different seasons of life: single, newly married, empty nesters?
- Are you open to conversations that stretch you and cross lines of division or difference?
We believe healthy marriages thrive in healthy communities. That’s one of the reasons we’re so passionate about our Anchored in Love Marriage Cruise. It’s an opportunity to surround yourself with other like-minded couples who are growing, learning, and cheering one another on.
Join the Journey
Before we set sail, we’ll be hosting a Book Club on Praying Circles Around Your Marriage — and we’d love for you to join us. It’s a chance to deepen your connection, pray intentionally together, and invest in your relationship in new ways.
This journey isn’t about perfection. It’s about progress, prayer, and partnership; learning to dance together through every season.
Registration for the cruise is closing soon, so if this resonates with you, don’t wait! All you have to do is pay a registration fee of $150 before October 20 to save your spot.
Let’s keep praying those circles around our marriages and believing for even stronger, deeper love.
