Send Time Well Spent and Pastor Warren a text about this message. Feel free to ask questions or share comments.As we continue our studies in 1 Peter, we come to chapter 3, verse 7. “You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.” Peter tells husbands that they should treat their wives with understanding and honor.The reason Peter gives this command may startle you, if you aren’t overly familiar with the verse. We are not to treat our wives well so that we will have happy marriages, although that will be one result. Rather, we are to treat our wives properly so that our prayers will not be hindered! Isn’t that startling -- that there is an undeniable connection between how you treat your wife and your prayer life! Since effective prayer is at the heart of a walk with God, this means that if a man mistreats his wife, I don’t care what he claims, he cannot be enjoying close communion with God.Husbands are to understand and honor their wives so that they will have an effective prayer life.Call (917) 889-9158
