When a husband prays for his wife, he opens the gates of heaven and carries her over the threshold, directly into the throne room of God. When a husband prays for his wife, he prays for himself, since they are one. When a husband prays for his wife, he lays himself down in order to raise her up. The question is, will he pray?

Many people think they have a calling, or wonder if they do. might question: Am I a missionary? Am I going to be starting a church? Am I going to be a pastor? Am I going to be a worship leader? There are all these finite things that people may feel called to. However, when it comes to our marriage, do we believe our marriage has a calling?
