4 Secrets To Praying For Your HusbandSample

Struggles, failures, sins, betrayals, hurts, wounds, disappointments and crushing defeats. Sound familiar? Life comes packaged with all of these challenges, and marriage provides the overcoming power not only to endure it all but hopefully to learn and by God’s grace, eventually overcome. My marriage has experienced all of these, yet today we’re stronger than ever.

Our response to the challenges life brings is always more important than the actual event. 

Each of those difficult moments is simply an obstacle that God permitted in your life so you can learn the deeper secrets of how to overcome and enjoy surpassing victories. 

How true is the saying, “Behind every successful man is an even greater woman!” Now, after almost 50 years of marriage, I’ve been asked to reveal my wife Darlene’s secrets. Not just secrets she knows, but secrets Darlene has used “on me, for me” for decades.

Proverbs 31:28-29 reminds us that what and who your husband becomes is massively related to the degree you’ve helped him. And wives who flourish in their role will inevitably hear this type of a statement from their husband and children: “Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: ‘Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.’”

So … what are these “secret” ways to pray for husbands? I have four favorites to share with you. We'll start with two tomorrow.
