Book Description

February 5, 2008
In this entertaining, highly readable book, couples learn that a fabulous marriage can be the outcome of learning to pray together, a minimum of five minutes a day, causing a 20 to 30% increase in romance, conversation and happiness.
 
Best-selling author SQuire Rushnell and his wife, entertainer and talk show host, Louise DuArt take readers step by step through The 40 Day Prayer Challenge™ in which couples commit to praying together five minutes a day for forty days. Backed by compelling research from Baylor University and Gallup Poll, the true-life experiences of 24 test couples reveal that daily prayer is a "life changing experience" in which most couples report positive outcomes in less than two weeks.

Celebrity couples share extraordinary experiences on how the most intimate act between a man and a woman has improved their marriages. The couples include Denzel and Pauletta Washington, Kathie Lee and Frank Gifford, Donna Summer and Bruce Sudano, Scott and Tracie Hamilton, Christina Ferrara and Tony Thomopolous, and Gavin and Patty MacLeod.

Couples Who Pray includes an easy questionnaire prepared by Baylor University to help couples to chart their own progress during The 40 Day Prayer Challenge™. According to never-before-published research the "quantity and quality of lovemaking" gets better by 20% when couples pray more. There's also a significant reduction in disagreements evidenced by a 21% elevation among respondents who say that they are trying to make their marriages better.  Astonishingly, the fear of divorce plummets to zero when couples pray "a lot."

5.0 out of 5 stars Changing lives...changing marriages, February 19, 2008
Wow...this book doesn't just promise to change your marriage. It really delivers. It's got the research to prove it, yet it reads like a conversation with a trusted friend. Husband and wife, SQuire Rushnell and Louise DuArt have combined their entertainment backgrounds with their faith to help couples navigate their way through the very personal (and sometimes scary) process of praying with your partner (or sister, parent, etc.).

Rushnell is the author of the When God Winks series of books and the former VP of Children's Programming at ABC. DuArt is a celebrity impressionist who's been on tour with Tim Conway and Harvey Korman from the old Carol Burnett Show and currently co-hosts "Living the Life" weekdays on ABC's Family Channel. Their humor and down to earth approach takes "the most intimate act between a man and a woman" and breaks it down step-by-step into something that's easy, understandable...and even fun.

My husband and I took the 40-day challenge and are seeing amazing results. Before, we used to have the hardest time communicating because we both had such a need to be right. Now, we just look at eachother and say "we need to pray!" Marriage is hard work, but it's comforting to know that we don't have to go through this alone. And, judging from the other couples who are featured in the book (celebrity as well as regular), we all have something we can learn from each other and God.

Buy this book! You will not be disappointed!

Couples Who Pray: The Most Intimate Act Between a Man and a Woman

I love this book and have seen transformative results from couples who have used the 40 day challenge in their own marriages. I am impressed with the quantifiable research to back it.

It's easy to read, and SQuire and Louise provide such a warm and friendly testimony of their own relationship. Even if you're a novice at praying, this book is for anyone who wants to invite God into their marriage and miraculously renew it. Here's the tool to do it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couples that Pray together, March 11, 2008
I puchased this item because I'm a man who has had three failed marriges that didn't have GOD as the center piece. I now know that GOD has to be the center piece of my life as well as marrige.
