🏠 THIS WEEK’S HABIT: PRAYING WITH (OR FOR) YOUR SPOUSE 🏠

Jan 3 • PRAYER

One of the most formative (and often most uncomfortable) spiritual disciplines for a man is prayer that includes his marriage.

God calls men to lead spiritually in the home, not by having all the answers, but by taking the first step toward prayer and dependence on Him.

This week, our habit is simple but powerful:

✅ The Practice

Pray with your spouse at least once a day (ideally daily, even if brief, but at least once this week)

If praying together daily feels like a stretch, start small:

30–60 seconds
No sermons
No fixing
Just prayer

If Your Spouse Is Not Willing or You Are Not Married

That’s okay.

Set aside intentional time to pray specifically for your spouse or future spouse
Pray for your marital relationship, your heart, and God’s work in that area
Faithfulness matters more than form.

⏱️ What This Can Look Like

Before bed
Before work
After dinner
Holding hands or sitting quietly
One prays, or both pray briefly

This isn’t about being polished—it’s about being present.

🙏 Suggested Prayer Topics (Choose What Fits)

You don’t need to pray through everything. Pick one or two.

For Your Spouse

Health, rest, and emotional well-being
Stress, burdens, and unspoken worries
Faith, trust in God, and spiritual growth
Protection from discouragement or isolation

For Your Marriage

Unity and oneness
Contentment
Patience and gentleness in conflict
Clear communication and listening
Healing of old wounds or misunderstandings
Rekindled affection and friendship

For Yourself as a Husband

Humility and selflessness
Courage to lead spiritually
Repentance where needed
Wisdom in words and actions

For Your Family & Home

Peace in the home
God’s presence in daily routines
A legacy of faith for children
Alignment with God’s priorities

💬 ACCOUNTABILITY

After you pray this week, comment in this thread with:

“Prayed with my spouse” or
“Prayed for my spouse”

That’s it.

If you want to share what stood out or how it went, feel free—but simple obedience counts.

⚓ Prayer won’t fix everything overnight.

It reorients your heart and invites God into places we often try to manage alone.

Strong marriages are not built by perfection. They are built by humble, faithful steps.

Let’s take one together this week.
