As Christians, we know the only way we can be fulfilled is when we look to the Lord as the One who sustains and provides our every need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this does not exclude us from the temptation to fill our hearts and fix our eyes on the things that call out to our flesh. The temptation will always be present until Christ\u2019s return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Two are better than one<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/niv\/Eccles%204.9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ecclesiastes 4:9<\/a>&nbsp;tells us, \u201cTwo are better than one\u201d (ESV). But, if we\u2019re honest with ourselves, it doesn\u2019t always feel this way.&nbsp;Marriage takes work\u2014a&nbsp;<em>lot<\/em>&nbsp;of work. Not just as newlyweds when you\u2019re still in the honeymoon phase, but every step of the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Can I be completely transparent with you for a moment? If marriage has taught me anything, it\u2019s just how selfish I am.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As much as it stings to say, it\u2019s true. The pastor that married my husband and me over six years ago now told us in one of our pre-marital counseling sessions to prepare for this truth to be revealed in some really uncomfortable ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This truth has served as a very humbling reality within the heart of my marriage many times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do we pray for one another?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When we take the time to pray for and with our spouse, things start to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We find that our marriage is strengthened, our desire to love each other in ways that reflect Christ\u2019s love grows and&nbsp;our hearts soften&nbsp;toward one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Christ isn\u2019t at the center of our marriage, it\u2019s obvious. The fruit simply isn\u2019t there. We argue more with our spouse, we find ourselves more frustrated, and we don\u2019t enjoy each other\u2019s company as much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we humble ourselves before God and embrace the powerful, essential, and beautiful gift of prayer, blessings flow! A marriage rooted in Christ and covered in prayer can\u2019t help but improve. What a precious truth this is. Let us savor and enjoy it!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-offwhite-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-constrained wp-block-column-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-source-serif-font-family has-medium-font-size\">Marriage takes work\u2014a lot of work.

Now, am I the best at it? No. But I\u2019m trying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I want to love my husband to the best of my ability, and I recognize prayer is a huge part of helping me do just that. Why? Because I know what happens when I partake in its gift. It completely changes my attitude toward my husband and enables me to love him better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we take time to pray for and with our husbands, change happens. Not just in our marriages, but in our individual walks with God, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chministries.org\/prayer-in-marriage\/\">Prayer<\/a> is one of the most effective and meaningful things that you can do for the heart of your marriage. And wives, my prayer for you is that you would do so each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I want to encourage and challenge you to <a href=\"https:\/\/chministries.org\/prayer-in-marriage\/\">pray for your husband<\/a> every day starting right now. If you\u2019re not sure where to start, I would love to help you out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are powerful ways to pray for your husband:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spiritual growth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pray for his spiritual growth.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The number one spot in our hearts must belong to the One who first breathed life into our beings and brought us together. Pray that your husband would be captivated by the Father. Pray that he would \u201cwalk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/niv\/Col%201.10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Colossians 1:10<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Protection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pray for your husband\u2019s protection from physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual temptations.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spiritual warfare is real and around us all the time. The enemy would love nothing more than to drag him down, but as he looks to God to sustain, strengthen, and supply, He will keep him from stumbling. (<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/niv\/Jude%201.24\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jude 1:24<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leadership<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pray for his leadership.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chministries.org\/what-is-servant-leadership\/\">Leadership<\/a> is quite an undertaking\u2014and a biblical one at that. Our husbands need God\u2019s supernatural insight to know how to lead and love well. Pray that the Word would be your husband\u2019s helpful guide as he seeks to lead with gentleness, dignity, courage, and confidence. Pray that his leadership would be marked by love and his desire to please God in all he does. (<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/niv\/Eph%205.25\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ephesians 5:25<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wisdom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pray for his wisdom.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>True wisdom is only found in the Father\u2019s heart. Pray that this is the wisdom your husband would seek. (<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/niv\/James%201.5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">James 1:5<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spiritual encouragement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Pray for his ability to encourage you and your family spiritually.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m going to be honest with you: it doesn\u2019t feel too good when my husband sheds light on the ways I\u2019m falling short in my walk with the Lord, but I\u2019m so very glad he does. He holds me accountable and helps me see when my actions and\/or words don\u2019t line up with my beliefs. He speaks truth over me because he loves me. Because we\u2019re on the same team.
