DECATUR, Ga., Feb. 14, 2019 /Christian Newswire/ -- The financial strain of the recent government shut down, unmet expectations from Valentine's Day, family stress and outside influences can wreak havoc on marriages and relationships. Recent statistics reveal that the divorce rate is close 50% which breaks down to 35% for first marriages and 65% for second plus marriages.

Hence, while #Couplesgoals is a popular hashtag for on social media, the reality is that many marriages are in trouble behind the scenes. With the average divorce costing between 15,000-30,000, many couples have no choice but to try and work it out.

That is why Dr. Alduan Tartt, psychologist, minister, and marriage trainer, husband and father partnered with Lamar & Ronnie Tyler (creators of Black & Married with Kids) to create the 7 Day Pray For My Marriage Challenge (www.prayformymarriage.com) for couples to combat the issues that cause distress and to strengthen their marriages.

"The 7 Day Pray For My Marriage Challenge creates a community of 10,000 couples to provide daily prayer, tips and actual counseling techniques to strengthen marriage and reduce the national divorce rate."

Each morning, starting February 18th-24th, couples will join Dr. Tartt live for live prayer, devotional and practical advice on how to enhance their marriage. Currently, the community has 5,000 active couples and is 50% to the goal of impacting 10,000 worldwide.

Dr. Tartt wanted to create a community for couples that combines prayer, community and proven psychological couples techniques to strengthen marriage. "Too often churches preach about marriage but forget or are ill equipped to give tips to help couples actual techniques to help avoid divorce," Dr. Tartt says.

"As a psychologist and minister, I knew I had an opportunity to be part of the solution by providing both prayer and works. However, the couples challenge is open to all, regardless of background or faith.  At the end of the day," Tartt says, "I want to give real couples, real prayer, and real solutions so that they can experience real change so that marriages can be strengthened and families can be saved."
