When You Want To Pray With Your Husband

in Relationships, Spiritual Growth on 06/14/18

This month James and I celebrate nine years of marriage. Every year we share the highlights in our relationship and reminisce on the really great seasons we’ve walked through together. However, we also talk about the hard ones. The seasons where we experienced loss of loved ones, betrayals, and financial hardships. The seasons where we bickered and constantly felt misunderstood. When I think back on all the memories we’ve shared in the nine years of marriage and the five years of dating prior- one personal memory still stands out.

We were in our first year of marriage and had our first real fight. We never really argued while dating so this one felt huge for me. James worked a late night shift and I was sitting in the living room watching a movie. Shortly after he left I pulled out my Bible and decided that I needed to pray for my husband because I was convinced only God could “fix” him.

I had no clue what to pray beside listing all his shortcomings and thinking about how “right” I was. Eventually, I landed in Galatians and started reading about the fruits of the spirit. It’s where we see the characteristics of Christ in list form and it paints a picture of how He lived His life on earth. I thought to myself, “Ah, yes, I will pray for these for my husband, because he totally needs it.”

While praying through each characteristic I immediately started to see my areas of failure. I saw my lack of kindness and gentleness when I spoke to my husband. I saw how I wasn’t patient when things weren’t going my way. I also, realized I wasn’t cultivating peace in our home. There wasn’t joy and love in my attitude towards him and I needed a little more self-control.

I entered that prayer thinking I would pray away all my husband’s shortcomings but walked out repenting of all of mine.

I called James, apologized and told him how much I love him. We then prayed together and moved on. I wish I could say that was the first and last time we ever argued but that’s simply not true. We’re two imperfect people who love each other deeply and also tend to be passionate about certain topics. 😉

However, this moment always stuck with me because every time we encounter hard seasons in our marriage, I’ve always gone back to Galatians. I always pray for those characteristics to be present in my life and James’. I pray for these characteristics to pour out of us and to those around us.

I share this story with you because since my post, The One Thing You Need To Do To Save Your Marriage, I’ve had women reach out to me and share from their heart how they strongly desire to pray with their husband.

Some women shared how their husbands don’t know the Lord and won’t pray with them. Many explained they’ve never prayed together before and don’t know how to go about bringing it up. A few also said they don’t know what to pray if they were to pray with their husband.

While I know you may feel alone in your thoughts, find comfort in knowing many other wives want the same as you. Many wives want to pray with their husband but the husband doesn’t have a relationship with Christ. Some don’t know how to bring it up to their husband out of fear of rejection. And some want to pray but don’t know where to begin so they don’t even start.

I want to gently encourage you to start with scripture. When you want to pray for or with your husband and don’t know where to begin, begin in the word.

Galatians 5:22-23 says, “But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!” 

Pray for Christ’s love to be the center of your hearts and your marriage. Pray for joy to overflow in abundance. For peace to fill your home and hearts. To have patience while you deal with each other’s shortcomings and the difficulties that come your way. Pray for kindness to be the heart you live out to one another and your children. Together live a righteous and holy life, one that is good and not for the benefit of others or simply for the sake of being virtuous. Pray for your hearts to remain faithful to Christ and one another. To speak with gentleness when facing the craziness of life. And to practice self-control, so nothing can come between you, your spouse, and Christ.

When you pray, pray for them not at them. Try not to pray from a heart to “fix” or “change” them, but to pray for them out of love and for Christ to transform and soften their heart.

Today, if you find yourself in a marriage where praying together is not an option, please know I am praying for you. I pray that God will move in your relationship and for one day, you and your spouse to be prayer warriors-together.

If you’re in a marriage where praying together is an option, I pray for that area of your relationship to be strengthened. For you and your husband to grow closer and boldly proclaim the love of Christ within your marriage. I pray that God will continue to use you as an example to other marriages and those seeking marriage.

    I am not married as of yet. But as I hope to be one day, I will take your advice to heart! I have found this to be true also of other people in our lives. Praying for other people often tends to change our heart posture towards them! Thank you for the post!

    Hi Heather! I love that you are willing to write about this. This is a very tough subject for many couples, even Christian couples. I’d love to hear your take on a marriage where both spouses are Christians, but the husband doesn’t feel comfortable praying with his wife.

    I’ve sought a lot of counsel on this, and even the lady who leads our citywide Bible study said her husband never felt comfortable praying with her. I felt understood, but I also felt a little letdown. This is something I’ve prayed for so many years. After my encounter with her, I realized that I may need to just accept this about my husband.

    I’d love to hear your thoughts.

      Hi Amanda,
      It’s definitely a tough subject with so many layers that it would be impossible to cover it all in one post. I think you bring up a great point because I’m sure there are a lot more couples who deal with this within the church.

      It’s hard to give a concrete answer without knowing the couples individually because there are so many factors but the first question I would ask would be, why? Why does the husband not want to pray with his wife? Does he pray on his own time? Does he talk about his relationship with God at all with his wife? If not, why? Is there something the husband would feel uncomfortable talking about if it was brought up during that time of praying?

      No matter the reason behind the “why” it doesn’t mean the husband is a bad husband or loves his wife any less. It simply could be because they’ve never seen it practiced with other couples they don’t even think to do it in their own.

      I’m glad to hear you felt understood when your friend expressed being in the same situation. I would encourage you to keep praying and never give up. It’s a godly desire to pray with your husband since you two are one. I’m not sure if you’ve had further conversations into why he doesn’t want to, but if you feel comfortable I would suggest asking why and asking to just try it once. Maybe the fear of being so raw and open is intimidating and getting over the initial fear or uncomfortableness will help.

      I would love to hear more from you and your personal experiences since I learn so much from others. If you feel more comfortable we could continue this conversation in email: hello@heathermargiotta.com

      Thank you for commenting and being open. I’m sure many others here will relate.

    It is funny how in marriage the things we’re upset at our spouses for are the very things we need to work on too. I’ve had a similar experience of praying to try to get God to “fix” him only to have God show me all the things I need to be “fixed” in me. God does have a sense of humor.

    I’ve also worked with many women as therapy clients who tell me they have been praying for their husband so that God will fix or change them. I will gently ask them what they prayed and then walk through each aspect and ask how they could better love, respect, encourage, and care for all of those areas. It’s generally a hard discussion but such an important one.

    This was absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing. Your post caught my attention because I was thinking about writing an article myself about couples praying together. My husband and I started to pray together while we were dating and we continue to do so. What a blessing it is be be able to pray with your spouse.

      That is a huge blessing! I’m so glad God used this post to speak to you. I encourage you to write on the same subject- many couples need to hear this message. I would love to read it when you’re done!

Happy Easter!! •••• I met Jesus when I was Happy Easter!!
••••
I met Jesus when I was 14 years old. My brother invited me to church with him, I went, listened, and was given a Bible at the end of the service. ••••
I remember coming home and sitting on my bed with my new Bible in my hand. I sat there thinking of everything I was told that night and how it reminded me of everything I was taught when I was a little girl. ••••
After sitting there for awhile, I prayed for the very first time. Out loud I said, “OK God, if you are who they say you are, then why would you send your son to die for me, why wouldn’t you just die for me?”
••••
Immediately, and when I say immediately I truly mean with no hesitation a thought came into my mind. I heard, “Doesn’t a parent love their child so much that they would die for them? I love you so much more then that, that I would allow my child to die for YOU.”
••••
I knew the thought that had entered my mind was not from me. I knew it was God speaking directly to me. Since that day, I’ve followed Jesus, learning more about Him, and have dedicated my life to sharing about eternal life through Christ and all the goodness He is. ••••
The world will tell you religion is all about rules and what not to do. Can I personally tell you, that is not true. Following Jesus has given me freedom to truly live. I GET to do things because of Jesus. ••••
I get to love others because Jesus taught me how to love. 
I get to give to others because Jesus has given so much to me. 
I get to truly forgive because Jesus forgave me. 
I get to heal from the hurts life has thrown at me because Jesus has healed me. 
I get to live a life full of JOY because joy comes from Jesus! 
And sooo much more! ••••
My prayer for you is to passionately serve Jesus, have eternal life through Him, and to truly experience what is feels to live a life of freedom.

I spent a semester in Israel during my college yea I spent a semester in Israel during my college years @seuniversity. It was two months after James and I got married so, our first few months as a married couple were spent walking the same streets of Jesus. To say it was a cool experience would be an understatement. •••••••
During my time in Israel there were two moments that took my breath away. One of those moments was being in the literally prison hole that Jesus stayed in the night before He died. •••••••
Historical sites are given a grading scale. An A site is “this is for sure the site that XYZ took place.” An B site is “XYZ took place here OR there” And a C site is “XYZ took place somewhere in this region.” •••••••
Jesus holding cell is an A site. •••••••
I stood in the prison with my fellow students and professor and his family. We sang the hymn - “I Have Decided To Follow Jesus.” It was the only time there I wept like a baby. Snot and all haha! •••••••
But man, to be where your savior was knowing what was to come and He chose to do it anyways. I’ve never felt more love in that moment then I have in my entire life. ••••••••
So today, my prayer is for you to feel that same love. To know Jesus died today for YOU and that He came back for YOU! You are His chosen child. •

In January we lost my sweet mother-in-law very suddenly. It was a shock to us all and has taken us a bit to wrap our minds around. •
•

In addition to the loss of my mother-in-law, we’ve been navigating some health struggles. Now, with everything going on in our world, I can say it’s def been a year so far. •
•

But, God is good. If it’s not good- then it doesn’t come from God. The enemy is very real but nothing to fear because our God is bigger. •

So, Today, I want to take a moment to share with you what losing my sweet mother-in-law has taught me. It’s something we can all learn from and I hope it blesses you and encourages you. •

Hi, friend. I know it’s been awhile and I have Hi, friend. 
I know it’s been awhile and I have a post going up tomorrow that explains what the beginning of 2020 has held for myself and my family. 
But, I wanted to get one here tonight to share something that has been on my heart. 
You cannot turn on the TV or pick up your phone without the word “COVID-19” blaring at you. While it’s wise to be informed, these are times many can become anxious, full of fear, and worry. 
Friend, this is our time. And what I mean by that, it’s the Church body’s time. It’s our time to rise up and praise the name of Jesus louder then any other name or word. 
Can I remind you that Jesus conquered every sickness and disease! 
Every. Single. One. 
When He died on that cross. 
And He rose again. 
There are a lot of different beliefs on healing, authority, and what role it plays in our life today. I want to encourage you to seek Jesus through His word and allow the Holy Spirit to guide you to His truth. 
When you find yourself reading this, do me a favor and pause. Look up Psalm 91. Read it, listen to it on repeat on the Bible app, and dwell in the presence of God. 
And then, wake up tomorrow knowing you are a child of the most high King- who rescues you from every attack of the enemy, who protects you from deadly diseases, who is covering you with His feathers and providing you shelter. 
I love you, friend. I’m praying for you.

My family and I just got back from spending a week in South Carolina for Christmas with my parents. •
•
•

Today was a day full of unpacking, cleaning, grocery shopping, and getting back into our normal routine. •
•
•

But, this morning while everyone slept I spent time praying and drinking some coffee. I have so many ideas, goals, and big dreams for my blog and this ministry. •
•
•

I thought about my reader who has used my blog posts to build a women’s ministry curriculum for her neighboring village in western part of Kenya. •
•
•

I thought about my reader in Papua New Guinea who is new in her faith walk and a simple google search looking for more of God’s word led her to my site. •
•
•

I thought about my reader who leads her local church with her husband here is the USA and was looking for a fellow female Christian to connect with and have a space to talk about things she can’t with those around her. •
•
•

I thought about my reader who was diagnosed with a life altering illness and found my site while searching for scripture on healing. •
•
•

I thought about you. The one who has visited and read time and time again. Who has listened while I shared from the deep parts of my heart on the struggles, the wins, the rejections, and the answered prayers of my life. Who has sent encouraging messages, shared feelings, and prayers. Who has in turn opened up to me and shared from the depths of their heart. •
•
•

As you know, I refer to my readers as ‘friend’ and that’s because a friend shows up, listens, encourages, shares, and prays. So, thank you. Thank you for being a friend. 
I’m looking forward to this new year with you as I share more of what God continues to lay on my heart. I’ll continue to look forward to hear from you as we do this journey of life together. •
•
•

Love you friend.
Hi, friend. • • • I’ve been taking things Hi, friend. •
•
•
I’ve been taking things slow over here to enjoy as much of this baby season as humanly possible. Getting to hold and kiss Colton everyday, all day long is a huge blessing I don’t want to take for granted. •
•
•
Because of that, my writing and speaking have been moving slower. I’ve had moments where I’ve shared with James the tug and pull I feel everyday, each week. There’s so many things I want to be doing, creating, sharing but I have to pick and choose right now. •
•
•
Tonight, I was feeding Colton before putting him to bed. When he was done with his bottle I sat it down but kept holding him while finishing a tv show. I heard him cooing and I look down and this precious face was staring up at me with the sweetest smile. •
•
•
Pure joy and love on his face. •
•
•
Friend, here’s your friendly reminder to keep on praying and believing that God has already won the battle, flattened the mountain, and straightened your path. •
•
•
After 2 and 1/2 years of barrenness and praying for this beautiful baby, my Heavenly Father so lovingly answered my prayer with the sweetest boy. •
•
•
I feel closer to Jesus because I pressed into Him during my waiting season and I want the same for you. •
•
•
Press in. •
•
•
And when your prayer is answered: enjoy. every. part. of. it. •
•
•
Even if that means other things need to move slower. •
•

Love you, friend. ❤️

Everyone is sharing their top 9 photos from 2019 b Everyone is sharing their top 9 photos from 2019 but I’m going to share my number one photo for this year. This photo represents an answer to prayer in my life and reminds me of the love and faithfulness of my Savior. •

My family and I just got back from spending a week in South Carolina for Christmas with my parents. •
•
•

Today was a day full of unpacking, cleaning, grocery shopping, and getting back into our normal routine. •
•
•

But, this morning while everyone slept I spent time praying and drinking some coffee. I have so many ideas, goals, and big dreams for my blog and this ministry. •
•
•

I thought about my reader who has used my blog posts to build a women’s ministry curriculum for her neighboring village in western part of Kenya. •
•
•

I thought about my reader in Papua New Guinea who is new in her faith walk and a simple google search looking for more of God’s word led her to my site. •
•
•

I thought about my reader who leads her local church with her husband here is the USA and was looking for a fellow female Christian to connect with and have a space to talk about things she can’t with those around her. •
•
•

I thought about my reader who was diagnosed with a life altering illness and found my site while searching for scripture on healing. •
•
•

I thought about you. The one who has visited and read time and time again. Who has listened while I shared from the deep parts of my heart on the struggles, the wins, the rejections, and the answered prayers of my life. Who has sent encouraging messages, shared feelings, and prayers. Who has in turn opened up to me and shared from the depths of their heart. •
•
•

As you know, I refer to my readers as ‘friend’ and that’s because a friend shows up, listens, encourages, shares, and prays. So, thank you. Thank you for being a friend. 
I’m looking forward to this new year with you as I share more of what God continues to lay on my heart. I’ll continue to look forward to hear from you as we do this journey of life together. •

Love you friend.
Hi, friend. • • • I’ve been taking things Hi, friend. •
•
•
I’ve been taking things slow over here to enjoy as much of this baby season as humanly possible. Getting to hold and kiss Colton everyday, all day long is a huge blessing I don’t want to take for granted. •
•
•
Because of that, my writing and speaking have been moving slower. I’ve had moments where I’ve shared with James the tug and pull I feel everyday, each week. There’s so many things I want to be doing, creating, sharing but I have to pick and choose right now. •
•
•
Tonight, I was feeding Colton before putting him to bed. When he was done with his bottle I sat it down but kept holding him while finishing a tv show. I heard him cooing and I look down and this precious face was staring up at me with the sweetest smile. •
•
•
Pure joy and love on his face. •
•
•
Friend, here’s your friendly reminder to keep on praying and believing that God has already won the battle, flattened the mountain, and straightened your path. •
•
•
After 2 and 1/2 years of barrenness and praying for this beautiful baby, my Heavenly Father so lovingly answered my prayer with the sweetest boy. •
•
•
I feel closer to Jesus because I pressed into Him during my waiting season and I want the same for you. •
•
•
Press in. •
•
•
And when your prayer is answered: enjoy. every. part. of. it. •
•
•
Even if that means other things need to move slower. •
•
•
Love you, friend. ❤️
