Marriage

Walking together In Faith

A Wife’s Prayer for Her Marriage

Marriage is a beautiful covenant, a reflection of Yah’s love for His people. For over 20 years, my husband and I have shared life together—through challenges, joys, and growth. I am grateful that he is now a believer, and I praise Yah for this transformation in his life. Yet, I also find myself yearning for a deeper spiritual connection with him—a partnership where we both eagerly study Yah’s Word, pray together, and work as a team to build His Kingdom.

I write this not to criticize my husband but to express the heart of a wife longing for her husband to walk alongside her fully surrendered to Yah. I know he carries the weight of childhood trauma and battles that only Yah can heal. My role is not to fix him but to pray for him, support him, and remain steadfast in my faith.

The Role of a Godly Wife

As wives, we are called to be helpmates, encouraging and building up our husbands. Yet, it can be difficult when the spiritual growth we desire for them doesn’t match our expectations. In these moments, I am reminded of the wisdom in 1 Peter 3:1-2 (NIV):

“Wives, in the same way, submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives.”

This Scripture challenges me to live out my faith through my actions, demonstrating the love, patience, and reverence of Yahusha. It reminds me that sometimes the most powerful sermon I can preach to my husband is the one lived out in my daily walk.

Praying for My Husband

The journey of praying for my husband has been humbling. When I feel frustrated or distant because he doesn’t study the Word with me or seem as passionate about the things of Yah, I am learning to bring those emotions to Yah in prayer. Instead of focusing on what he isn’t doing, I pray for Yah to transform his heart, draw him closer, and reveal His purpose for his life.

James 5:16 (NIV):

“The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”

I believe in the power of prayer to bring healing, restoration, and change. Yah hears the cries of a wife interceding for her husband, and He is faithful to respond.

Trusting in Yah’s Timing

One of the hardest lessons for me has been surrendering my timeline to Yah’s. I want so deeply for my husband and me to share the same zeal for the Word and walk in perfect unity as we serve Yah together. Yet, I must remember that Yah’s timing and ways are perfect.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NIV):

“He has made everything beautiful in its time.”

I trust that Yah is working in my husband’s life, even when I cannot see it. My role is to remain patient and faithful, trusting in Yah’s plan.

Being Led by the Holy Spirit

As I continue to grow in my relationship with Yah, I am learning to listen to the Holy Spirit’s guidance on when to speak and when to remain silent. There are moments when I feel compelled to share a Scripture or encourage my husband, and there are times when the Spirit nudges me to simply pray and let Yah work in His heart.

John 16:13 (NIV):

“But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth.”

Relying on the Holy Spirit helps me avoid frustration and ensures that my words and actions are rooted in love, not impatience.

Staying the Course

Though this season can feel lonely, I am committed to staying the course with Yah. He must remain first in my life, and I know that as I prioritize my relationship with Him, He will give me the strength, wisdom, and peace I need to navigate this journey.

Matthew 6:33 (NIV):

“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

By keeping Yah at the center, I can be the example my husband needs—a wife who is steady, prayerful, and faithful, no matter the circumstances.

My Prayer

I pray that Yah will soften my husband’s heart, heal his wounds, and draw him into a deeper relationship with Him. I pray for our marriage to be a reflection of Yahusha’s love, a partnership that glorifies Yah and brings others to Him. And I pray for myself—that I will be patient, loving, and steadfast in my faith, trusting that Yah can do immeasurably more than I can imagine.

Ephesians 3:20-21 (NIV):

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”

May this prayer guide me as I continue to trust Yah for the restoration and unity I long for in my marriage.
