Enhancing Communication with Married Couples through Improving the Discipline of Prayer

Abstract

This Doctor of Ministry Project addressed the need of the Cornerstone Christian Church of Pikeville, KY to assist married couples with communication skills in order to strengthen their marriages. The spiritual discipline of prayer was used as a method of improving communication and spiritual disciplines. The project included a couple's workshop that taught five prayer techniques that were designed to enhance communication between couples. After the workshop the couples participated in a thirty day exercise using the prayer techniques that the couples learned during the workshop. The results indicated that prayer could be used to assist married couples with communication.
