We've built a connected marriage with nothing but our faith in Jesus and prayer. We both came from broken homes and know what it’s like to grow up without a healthy marriage to follow, wondering whether your own story can be different. We're here to tell you it can be! 

Your family history doesn’t determine your marriage’s future. You can begin building a godly marriage legacy today, one faith-filled prayer at a time.

We’re Mike and Carlie Kercheval, M.A., Professional Christian Marriage Counselors, Certifed Life Breakthrough Coaches, and the hosts of The Praying Couple® Podcast. For 30 years, we’ve been deep in marriage ministry together, helping thousands of couples bring their faith into the conversations, decisions, and everyday moments that shape a healthy, lifelong Christian marriage.

This is the show for Christian couples who are tired of the distractions that keep them disconnected, and are ready to breakthrough and build a connected marriage through Scripture-based prayer.

This podcast will help you learn how to:

✨ Pray about the specific challenges you’re facing—even when you don’t know what to say

✨ Communicate so you both feel heard—without every difficult conversation becoming an argument

✨ Address unresolved hurts that keep showing up between you with grace and forgiveness

✨ Make time for your marriage when work, parenting, and everyone else’s needs keep coming first

✨ Grow closer emotionally and spiritually through simple, intentional steps you can take today

If you love your spouse but miss feeling like a team, keep getting stuck in the same disagreements, or wonder whether your marriage will ever feel as close as you hoped—you’re in the right place.

We bring our 30 years of marriage, decades of professional counseling and coaching experience, biblical wisdom, and Scripture-based prayers to help you work through what’s keeping you apart. Each episode focuses on one problem and gives you one practical step toward connection.
