Valentine’s Day Prayer Challenge: Prayers For Your Husband

Valentine’s Day! Humph!  I am not a super huge fan.  As Justine, at Traveling By Faith, calls it Valentine’s Day AKA Single Awareness Day.   Justine called for a Valentine’s Day Prayer Challenge for Single Women.

I am not sure that Valentine’s Day gets any better for those of us who are not single.  It just adds unneeded pressure.  What if there was a Valentine’s Day gift that really meant something.

This Valentine’s Day Gift Would:

• Increase your love for each other
• Center your focus on the good in your husband
• Remove any resentment you might feel toward your husband
• Change your spirit from nagging to loving
• Bring God deeper into your marriage
• Increase your desire for your husband
• Store up treasure for you in heaven

The legend of St. Valentine speaks of him marrying Christian couples after Rome put a ban on such activity.  Like Christmas, the commercial world got hold of the idea and expanded it as a day to buy things.

I imagine, neither you, nor your husband needs more things.  Committed married love flourishes when the spiritual needs of the partners are nourished.

What better gift for your husband than prayers.  Focused prayers on his life with the true lover of his soul.  The coincidence of Ash Wednesday falling on Valentine’s Day makes this even more poignant.

St. Valentine placed couples in right relationship with each other and God through holy matrimony.

Christ sacrificed his life for us, so that we could be in full relationship with him.

Two Holy Days: A Perfect Match

Marriage signifies a commitment to deep abiding love.  Love that is not just stirred by romantic passion. Marriages contain the deep love that “wills the good of other” in the union.  Just as Christ lived his life in human form to give us a taste of God’s deep love for us.  We are to bless our husbands as a “way to will their good” from God.

If you are struggling with your husband over anything these simple prayers will make a huge difference.  I know they did for us.  Look for more of our story in About Our Story and the Year Addiction Stole Christmas.

A two-legged stool cannot stand. Ask God to step into your husband’s life and your marriage will provide the third leg of the stool.

This Valentine’s Day Prayer Challenge requires no prep “just do it”. Think of the man who came to Jesus with the dying daughter. If your marriage is really on the rocks, pray for God to help you increase your faith so that he can heal you and your husband.

Then just pray.  Prayers through gritted teeth are still heard by our heavenly Father.
