Discussion- What specific “Marriage Landmines” do you see impacting couples around you and how can you help remove them?
Prayer Direction- Pray for couples to identify the specific lies the enemy is telling and the places he is attacking them. Ask for discernment to see the tactics of the evil one.

Prayer Direction- Pray for one married couple every day this week. Ask God to help them love, serve, and bless each other.
