Even fewer do it well. In many Christian homes the woman is more spiritually mature than the man. She reads and studies her Bible, initiates family devotions, and leads in prayer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If this describes your situation, take heart.&nbsp;<strong>God is at work in your family. He can and will use you to influence them for Christ.<\/strong>&nbsp;You are not alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wish I could give you three steps to transform your husband into a dynamic spiritual leader who will shepherd his family well, love you as Christ loves the church, and impact God\u2019s kingdom.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But I can give you five suggestions to help you come alongside God as He works in and through your husband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Five Suggestions to Help Your Husband Draw Closer to God<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Pray.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prayer is one of the most neglected tools in a Christian woman\u2019s arsenal. We fret over our husband\u2019s lack of spiritual initiative or nag him about his lack of spiritual leadership. We compare, criticize, and complain. But we seldom pray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you bring the deepest desires of your heart to God and surrender them to Him, you transfer the burden of change from your shoulders to God\u2019s. God alone has the power to transform your husband, and He\u2019s quite capable of doing so\u2014in His timing. Instead of criticizing, pray God\u2019s blessings on your husband. Ask God to draw him closer, reveal Himself, and make him hungry for spiritual things. Pray Scripture over him. One of my favorite prayer guides to help me intercede on my husband\u2019s behalf is the&nbsp;<em>Revive Our Hearts&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reviveourhearts.com\/articles\/31-days-of-praying-for-your-husband\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=link&amp;utm_campaign=roh+blog&amp;se=RZZDEE1AA1\">30-Day Praying for Your Husband Challenge<\/a>. Print it out, place it in your Bible, and use it every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Cultivate your own relationship with God.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we experience a lack of spiritual interest in our husbands, we sometimes grow discouraged or slack in our own spiritual disciplines.&nbsp;<em>If he doesn\u2019t care about Bible reading and prayer, why should I?<\/em>&nbsp;Don\u2019t fall into this trap. Much more is caught than taught, as the old adage says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you spend time in prayer and Bible reading every day, you declare, without saying a word, that spending time with God is both important and delightful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you spend time in prayer and Bible reading every day, you declare, without saying a word, that spending time with God is both important and delightful. Biblical wisdom will permeate your heart and naturally flow out of you. Don\u2019t hesitate to share what you\u2019re learning with your husband, but don\u2019t do it in a preachy way. Use winsome words that will make spending time in the Bible enticing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Look for creative ways to connect with God together.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For years I longed for my husband and me to have a devotional time together. Deep down I think he did too. We knew Christian couples were supposed to connect spiritually, we just couldn\u2019t figure out how to make it happen. I bought every couples\u2019 devotional book on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One morning as I was praying, God gave me an idea. I shared it with David the next day. \u201cThis new devotional book looks fantastic. I\u2019d love for us to read it together. If I get up with you in the mornings and fix a little breakfast, would it be okay if I read it aloud while you ate? That way it wouldn\u2019t take any extra time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To my delight he said yes. (I don\u2019t know if it was the offer of breakfast or the desire to connect spiritually that made my offer appealing, but I didn\u2019t care.) After years of trying we finally arrived at something that worked. Your \u201csomething\u201d may look different from ours. Ask God for creative ideas for how to connect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Ask your husband how you can pray for him, and ask him to pray for you.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One day, several weeks into our devotional time, I asked, \u201cHow may I pray for you today?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">David thought a moment, then told me about a challenging situation with a coworker. I prayed a brief prayer, then said, \u201cI\u2019d love for you to pray for me as I teach the girls. This math curriculum just isn\u2019t working for us.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From there on, after we read the day\u2019s devotion we asked each other, \u201cHow may I pray for you today?\u201d David was reluctant to pray aloud, so sometimes we\u2019d just swap prayer requests. Other times we\u2019d pray a simple sentence prayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don\u2019t have to wait until you have a consistent devotional time to ask him how you can pray for him. Do it as he\u2019s preparing to leave for work in the morning or as you lie next to each other at bedtime. Then pray a simple (short) prayer aloud. Praying for one another knits your hearts together and grows your love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Trust God\u2019s timing.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It took us ten or fifteen years to arrive at a routine that worked for us. Some couples don\u2019t experience the joy of a shared devotional time until their empty nest or retirement years. Others never reach this point.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regardless of where you are, don\u2019t despair. God knows the desires of your heart. He knows your husband\u2019s heart too. Jesus said His Father is always at work (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=john+5&amp;version=CSB#:~:text=17%C2%A0Jesus%20responded%20to%20them%2C%20%E2%80%9CMy%20Father%20is%20still%20working%2C%20and%20I%20am%20working%20also.%E2%80%9D\">John 5:17<\/a>), so you can trust Him to accomplish His good purposes in and through your family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If we truly trust God, we\u2019ll pray instead of fretting or nagging. We\u2019ll cultivate our own relationship with God and look for creative ways to connect with Him together. And we\u2019ll show love to our husband by praying for him. As we lay our requests before God, we\u2019ll wait in hope and trust, knowing that He who began a good work in us (and our husbands) will be faithful to complete it (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Phil+1%3A6&amp;version=CSB\">Phil. 1:6<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Twenty Years Later<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few years ago, in a serendipitous wink from God, Our Daily Bread Publishing asked David and me if we\u2019d be willing to write a couples\u2019 devotional.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo way,\u201d I said. \u201cOur marriage is still too imperfect. We\u2019re not qualified.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">David had a different opinion. \u201cWe\u2019ve been so blessed by the devotionals others have written. We don\u2019t have to be perfect to have something useful to share. If God can use our experiences to help other couples grow closer to God and to each other, how can we say no?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How, indeed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A year later, David and I sat across the breakfast table and turned to the first devotion in our little book,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mWv7Ax\"><em>Moments with God for Couples: 100 Devotions for Drawing Closer to God and Each Other<\/em><\/a>. When we finished the short reading we held hands, bowed our heads, and thanked God for the good work He began in us so many years ago. Then we prayed for other couples just like us who want to connect with God but aren\u2019t sure how. We thanked Him in advance for the good work He has planned for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now it\u2019s your turn.
