4 Powerful Prayers for Your HusbandSample

Respect and honor stand as the foundational pillars of a healthy, loving relationship. When these two aspects of your marriage are strong, you will benefit from a kind, compassionate, and mutually beneficial relationship. Pray this prayer word for word, or feel free to use it as a kickstart to your own prayer based on your personal needs in your marriage.

"Heavenly Father, respect and honor are building blocks in the foundation of any marriage relationship. Without those blocks, the laws of love: kindness, mercy, trust, and grace- cannot stand. I praise You Jesus that You operate in the realm of both respect and honor and have modeled for us what these qualities look like, even in the face of Your persecution, rejection, and betrayal. You are the hallmark of these two qualities and I thank You for living with me in an understanding way when I fail to give You or my husband one or the other. I praise You that Your word instructs us in the path of love and highlights this as the ultimate covering for all relational issues, disappointments, and challenges.

Gracious Lord, please give my husband and me the blessing of living in a marriage that is highlighted with both respect and honor. Bless us with this gift from You in such a way that both come naturally to us. Pour out Your lovingkindness on each of us so that it overflows to each of us. Where there has been disrespect, let the other respond with gentleness and grace. Where there has been dishonor, let the other respond with peace and patience.

May our responses to each other be punctuated with the spirit of love so that we habitually operate wholly and completely in an atmosphere that knows nothing other than respect and honor. In Christ’s name, amen.”
