Praying for your husband.
Have you ever driven by a home that is in shambles? Shutters hanging off, moss on the siding, weeds overtaking the front door?
I’ve often wondered about those homes and the lives of the families in them. Did the family lose their home to foreclosure? Did the elderly owner pass away? What causes someone to abandon their home?
When there is no longer someone living in and caring for a home, the home starts to fall into disrepair The same can be said for marriages. Sure, you may be going through the motions, maybe you are even happy, but if you aren’t regularly praying for your husband and your marriage, wear and tear can start to appear.
Make prayer a non-negotiable part of your day!
Each morning, I do three things over coffee:
✓ Write scripture in a prayer journal
✓ Bible study
✓ Pray.
I also pray when I’m in the car alone and throughout the day, having a conversation with God. At night, with my husband and alone, as I drift off to sleep. He is the last thing on my mind. Of course, we pray for blessings over meals, as well.
I have a very strong marriage and I am very thankful for that, but I strongly believe that it is, in part, due to the constant prayer that I hold up to God on behalf of my husband and my marriage.

There is always the temptation as the years pass to pray less for each other in a marriage and family but our family have proved that we can never pray enough for each other and we are thankful for the blessing prayer is for us. Looks like a good challenge.

This was right on time! I have become so busy with life that I often forget to pray let alone be specific on praying for my husband and our marriage. I will be doing the challenge and will implement your suggestion of starting my mornings with bible study, prayer and writing a scripture! thank you for this wonderful post.
