Day 4: His Role as a Husband

Scripture
"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her."
— Ephesians 5:25 (NIV)

Devotional Thought
Marriage is a beautiful journey, but let’s be honest—it’s not always easy. We all need a bit of guidance along the way, and today, we’re praying that your husband finds his model in Christ. Jesus’ love for the church is the perfect example of commitment, humility, and sacrificial love. When your husband follows Christ’s example, he becomes more loving, patient, and understanding.

As you pray, envision him growing in wisdom, grace, and kindness, reflecting the love of Christ in your marriage. This isn’t just about becoming a better husband; it’s about growing closer to Christ so that everything he does in your relationship overflows from that connection.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for my husband and the love he brings to our marriage. Today, I pray that he will seek Christ as his model in all he does as a husband. Help him to know Christ more deeply, to understand His love and humility, and to desire to reflect that love in our marriage.

Father, I declare that my husband would love as Christ loves, showing compassion, patience, and gentleness in his role as a husband. Let his actions be guided by Christ’s example, and may he find joy and purpose in growing closer to You as he leads our family in love and faith. Bless him with the strength to serve selflessly and the wisdom to cherish and honor our relationship. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Declaration
Today, I declare that my husband knows Christ and makes Him his model! He loves deeply, serves willingly, and is filled with the wisdom and kindness of Christ in our marriage.

Personal Note
(Write a note for your husband expressing your gratitude for the ways he reflects Christ in your marriage. Let him know you’re praying for him as he grows in his role, and encourage him with a word or scripture he can carry with him today!)
