Having concluded our conversation on the Marriage Institution; And having also entertained some questions arising therefrom, our conversation today will focus on PRAYERS. No matter how well a family is organized, if you remove prayers, you will likely get another result. Prayer is the addition that makes a not- so- much rich family happier that the well-to-do. Prayer removes sicknesses and diseases from the home. Prayer causes help to arise for the widow, the orphaned and the needy family. Remove prayers from the home , you get unmitigated damage, destruction and decay in a given marriage or home. Therefore as a child of God, add prayers with fasting, to EVERYTHING YOU HAVE LEARNED ABOUT MARRIAGE.
