Marriage

My wife Mandy and I recently celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary this month and so I thought we’d do this Prayer Point together! Men, Scripture exhorts us as husbands to love our wife sacrificially (Ephesians 5:25) and to honor her so that our “prayers may not be hindered” (1 Peter 3:7). Ladies, the Bible exhorts us to be respectful toward our husband as a way of honoring God (Ephesians 5:33) and to be an example other women can follow (Titus 2:4). To all the husbands and wives listening today—whether you’ve been married a few years, or many decades—let’s make it our aim to love and cherish our spouse just as Jesus loves His church (Ephesians 5:25), and sincerely apologize when we fall short. As the years unfold, this is how we will continue to show Christ to one another. Now that’s something to pray about!
