Praying With Your Wife - Part 2

February 9

First Peter 3:7 says,” Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them [wives] according to knowledge, giving honor unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered” (emphasis mine).

The word “dwell” literally means to make a home with your wife. And not to use the word in a strict sense like four walls and a foundation. That’s too obvious. This word “dwell” speaks of intimacy.

Do you know what intimacy is? It is letting somebody else into your life. In every marriage, there needs to be verbal, emotional, social, intellectual, and spiritual togetherness.

When you pray with someone, what you are saying to that person is, “I recognize you as a spiritually important person. I have time for you. You are a part of my spiritual life. God is not just my God and your God. God is our God.”

That’s spiritual intimacy. It says to the wife, my husband is serious about being the spiritual leader in our home. Women greatly desire and deserve a husband that will pray with her.
