Improve communication with God & spouse


Want to improve your communication with your wife or husband?
Be sure your communication with God is not being disrupted.

 You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.” 1 Peter 3:7

The message here is not that men are stronger than women, but that husbands are to treat their wives with understanding, with respect and be thoughtful; treat your wife with honor as your equal partner in God’s gift of your new life in Christ. If you don’t, it will stand in the way of your prayers. “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her,” (Ephesians 5:25).

Men, next to the gift of Jesus, God’s gift to you of a wife is the most wonderful gift there is; she is one with you! “He who finds a wife finds a good thing And obtains favor from the LORD.” (Proverbs 18:22)
“For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.” Genesis 2:24
Jesus & Paul both quote this in Matthew 19:5, Mark 10:8 and Ephesians 5:31


Want to have a good prayer life?
Want to have a good marriage?

Want to obey God?
Then love and honor your wife and treat her with respect, protection and as more important than yourself.



Women, want that type of husband, then learn to respect your husband.

“Nevertheless, each individual among you also is to love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband.” (Ephesians 5:33)
