________________________________________________________________________________________________

3. Which aspect of your attitude toward your wife needs the most adjustment – hearing her, cherishing her, or serving her? Why do you think it is difficult for men to rightly value their wives?

The Marriage Prayer – For Him

Father,

I said, “’Til death do us part”—I want to mean it.

Help me love You more than her,

and her more than anyone else.

Help me bring her into Your presence today.

Make us one, like you are three-in-one.

I want to hear her, cherish her, and serve her—

So she would love You more and we can bring You Glory.

Amen
