Marriage is beautiful, and it’s a union that amazes me. I usually compare marriage to a garden; we all love the serenity and beauty of a garden. It is healthy and improves mental health, but a beautiful garden doesn’t grow independently. It requires hours of tending to the plants and pruning off weeds, similar to what a marriage needs. Daily prayers for your husband is like tending to the garden of your marriage. This article contains prayer points you can pray over your husband.

The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God—it is dynamic and can have tremendous power].

James 5:16B AMP

Couples should pray for each other; it is not the responsibility of one partner alone. The husband is supposed to pray for his wife, and the wife is supposed to pray for her husband. It can be very tiring and challenging to take up this responsibility. Still, the reward is worth every time and energy. 

What Happens when you Pray over your Husband?

Many unique and beautiful transformations happen when you pray for your partner. I see these transformations as some of the benefits of praying for your husband, and it includes:

• You become a changed person. One underestimated benefit of prayer is its ability to change us. Committing him to God’s hands makes you the better wife he deserves. God uses these prayers to change you and align you with his will.
• Prayer helps you to connect and align with God in unimaginable ways.
• Praying for your husband helps you to understand him better.
• It open doors and allows God to work wonders in your marriage.
• Praying for your partner strengthens your marriage.
• Praying for your partner helps you to understand and discover God’s plan for him.
• Praying for your partner helps you forgive and grow in love for him.
