“All things are legitimate [permissible—and we are free to do anything we please], but not all things are helpful (expedient, profitable, and wholesome). All things are legitimate, but not all things are constructive [to character] and edifying [to spiritual life]” 1 Corinthians 10:23 (AMPC)
You may find yourself often at the point of frustration in your marriage. Many times, you may have said to yourself that you did not sign up for this. This is anything in your marriage that is driving a wedge between you and your husband. This is the action, attitude, and behavior(s) that are contributing to unhealthy and prolonged conflict. It is affecting you and your spouse's ability to bond and connect. These are the negative thoughts and feelings that you have toward your husband because of unwanted or undesired behaviors he has demonstrated toward you.
Every person on the planet has certain expectations, whether those expectations are for yourself, children, husband, marriage, or other relationships; you have expectations. Too often, these expectations are unspoken, unreasonable, or even unrealistic. It is okay to have expectations, but it is not okay to believe that your expectations alone are enough to drive someone’s behavior toward you or their intent.
I believe every wife wants to feel loved and appreciated by her husband. This looks different for everyone, but it does not make it less true. If your husband’s behaviors have been less than favorable and kind toward you, try getting to the root of why. If he is being influenced by negativity and counterproductive thoughts about you or his marriage, his behavior will follow suit. If there are variables and external factors that are influencing the way he behaves and responds toward you, you need to know that so you can tackle the problem through prayer and merely focus on the symptoms.
Prayer for your Husband’s Emotions:
Lord, I come to you because I am feeling weary and hopeless in my marriage. I love my husband and I want my marriage, but I have done everything I know how to do. I humbly submit my will to yours and ask you to take control. I believe my husband loves me and that he is in love with me. I believe he wants this marriage, but I also know that how he makes me feel at times is not your will. Lord, if there is anything in me that is contributing to our marital chaos and dissatisfaction, I ask that you expose and remove it far from me – as far as the east is from the west. I pray for my husband’s emotions and that his actions toward me are not emotionally driven but spiritually led. I pray that he will turn from the ways of this world and turn toward you in denying himself so he can totally accept your will for his life and marriage. In Jesus' name, Amen.

God designed husbands to be the lead servants of their homes/marriages. He is to lead his wife and children in the same manner that Christ led the church. When husbands do not know God as their Lord and Savior, they cannot lead by Christ's example. This devotional will provide seven effective prayers wives can pray for their unsaved husbands so that they may come into the knowledge of God's truth.
