Turn your everyday married life into a prayer, because whether you realize it or not, everything you do in the context of your sacramental marriage -- from your work and other roles, to the little pecks on the cheek you give each other to your getting off the couch when you're tired in order to play with or serve your family, to the arguments you have, to your lovemaking-- is prayer. Marriage is perhaps the most beautiful prayer in the world. It is a prayer that was written by God at the beginning of time...It is the pearl of great price buried in your own backyard.

Great Lauren- btw I'm hungry whenver you and Jon are!!! ;)
Your post reminded me of what I've heard people say about St. Francis- that "he was not so much a man that prayed- as a man who became a living prayer." I like it- and there are ALL KINDS of prayers- that could be a funny (and illuminating) exercise; "What kinda prayer are you? Long, short, simple, complex, adoration, etc...
Thanks for this thought! I forget about this so much! Hopefully I can live it out more often.
