Monday's Marriage Moment - Pray, Wives, Pray!

For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?
1 Corinthians 7:16

Pray, wives, pray! You are in a strategic position to pray for your husband like no one else. You see his weaknesses, his struggles, and his needs. You see the areas that he needs to be covered in. God shows you these areas not so that you can exploit them, point them out, or dominate him. God shows you these areas so that you can strengthen them, help him, and cover him in prayer. So, pray, wives, pray!

The devil is attacking covenants like never before. He hates marriage. He doesn't want yours to work. He will use lies, pride, other people, miscommunication, and distance to divide you and your spouse. He will use anyone and anything...if we let him. Are we going to sit passively and allow these things to happen, or are we going to spend time communicating with God so that we can effectively thwart the plan of our enemy. So, pray, wives, pray!

Pray that your husband will grow in his relationship with God.
Pray that he will be protected from the plans of the enemy.
Pray that he will not be enticed or distracted by the devil.
Pray that you will grow closer to each other as the days go by.
Pray that you will stay passionate in your love for each other.
Pray that your communication will be kind, clear, and purposeful.
Pray that your intimacy will be frequent, dynamic, and satisfying for you both.
Pray that your marriage will be powerful and purposeful and draw others to Christ.
Pray that you will see the attacks before they come and that you will have wisdom to avoid them!

Will you join me this week in praying for our spouses? Will you join me in praying for marriages? Come on, people, let's pray!
