marriage

1 Peter 3:7
Treat her as you should so your prayers will not be hindered.

Here the Bible is speaking of husbands honoring their wives. By doing so we follow God’s instruction. Honor your wife, husbands, because they deserve it and God wants it. Why else?

Apparently, the strength of God’s blessings are linked to our faithfulness. Not that God doesn’t bless the “just and the unjust,” as the Bible states, but there is certainly an emphasis of favor when God is honored. So, in this example, honoring our spouses is an important way to honor God.

Pray for marriages in your circles of friends today.
