Husbands, is your prayer life suffering? Did you know it could be because of your wife?
Some of you are reading this because you think I just said it’s the wife’s fault.
Thats not what I said.
Peter told us our prayers can be hindered by how we treat our wife. (1 Peter 3:7).
If you feel like your prayers aren’t being answered, do the following assessment on yourself:
1. Do you consider her needs as much if not more than yours?
2. Do you treat her with respect?
3. Do you view you both as heirs of the kingdom of Heaven?
Be honest, if you or your wife would say no, then there’s your answer.
My dear friend mentioned this verse to me, and ever since I can testify firsthand that when my prayers are being suppressed it is often because my wife is being oppressed by me.
