10 Scriptures To Pray For Your Husband

One of the most important things you need to know about marriage before entering into it is what God's purpose for marriage actually is. But what about after you are married? What, as a wife, should we be doing for our husbands? Take a look at Proverbs 31:11-12.

Verse 11 talks says "the heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain." One important thing that comes to my mind with this verse is that we must always talk good of our husbands. 

It is so easy to fall into habit to "talk" with our mothers or girlfriends or sisters about our marriages, and specifically, our husbands. But that "talking" can often turn into complaining and negativity towards our husbands. Sure, there are times when we feel we need to vent, but we need to remember that we need to protect our husbands, need to not cause any harm to them. We need to always talk good of our husbands. We need to be their biggest fans!

Another thing that sticks out to me in the above verse is that "she does him good...all the days of her life." So, how can we do that?

I think one of the most important ways we can do that, as wives, is to always be in prayer for our husbands. Prayer is the biggest, most powerful tool we have! I challenge you to start praying specific scriptures for your husband and just watch what it does for your marriage! Below, I've gathered 10 of my favorite verses that I can pray for my husband.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." {Jeremiah 29:11}
