as you answer the following questions that God already knows the truth. He is not going to be shocked or disappointed in your answers, so don’t you be either. Don’t condemn yourself for the areas where you need improvement. We all have them. Simply take each question before the Lord and ask Him to show you the truth and help you become the woman and wife He wants you to be. Believe me, I know how hard this chapter is, but when you get through it, the rest will be easy. What happens to your heart here will pave the way for success in seeing answers to your prayers.
       1. Read Matthew 19:3-6 in your Bible.
Underline verses 5,6. Do you believe that you and your husband are one in the sight of God? Are there places in your marriage where you and your husband are not working together as a team? List those areas. Write a prayer asking God to make you and your husband more unified in these areas. Ask Him to show you what you can do to facilitate that unity.
       2. Read Luke 10:19 in your Bible and underline it.
You don’t have authority over your husband, but whom do you have authority over?
       3. God has given you the authority to take a stand against any negative influence in your marriage. Is there any area in your marriage where you see that the enemy has gained or is trying to gain a stronghold? List below.
       4. Are there any places in your marriage where you feel hopeless? List these below. Bring them before the Lord and confess your hopelessness. Remember, confession is not to make you feel condemned; it’s to help you acknowledge your error before God so He can free you from it, and so the devil can’t paralyze you with it. Write a prayer asking God to give you the faith you need to believe that He is your hope and will answer your prayers.
       5. Read Joel 2:25 and underline it in your Bible.
What things do you see depleting life out of your marriage? What does God promise He will do when things have been eaten away from our lives?
       6. Do you believe in God’s ability to heal wounds? To renew love in your heart? To restore your marriage relationship to all it should be? Why or why not?
       7. Read Matthew 10:39 and underline it in your Bible.
Do you trust God enough to answer His call to lay down your life in prayer for your husband? Why or why not? If not, write a prayer asking God to help you trust Him enough to make this commitment.
       8. Read Matthew 12:25 and underline it in your Bible.
Is there any issue over which you and your husband are seriously divided? How do you feel about it?
       9. Do you have any anger, unforgiveness, hurt, or disappointment toward your husband? Explain why. Even if you have good reason for feeling the way you do, confess those negative thoughts as sin and ask God to set you free from them. I know this is hard if you feel justified in your feelings, but this prayer of confession and repentance must come first before you can begin praying for your husband with a right heart and see answers to your prayers.
    10. Do you ever feel like you don’t want to pray for your husband? Explain why. Write a prayer asking God to help you desire to pray for God’s best to be poured out on your husband. (This may be a prayer you have to pray every day for a while, so don’t worry if you haven’t sensed an immediate answer.)
    11. Is there anything for which you need to ask your husband to forgive you? Ask God to show you if there is anything for which you need to repent (an attitude, action, are of neglect, and so on). As He reveals it, write it down. Write a prayer asking God to give you the courage, strength and humility, to ask your husband for forgiveness and to communicate your love and a desire to change.
    12. Tell your husband you are going to start praying for him every day in a new and positive way, and ask him to share with you any prayer requests he has. Write down what his reaction was and what requests he shared.
    13. Do you see your husband as anything less
