Description
This is a set of verses from an episode of FamilyLife Today where they discussed how men should pray to intercede for their wives.
When reading the verses about the wife's responsibility in marriage, think about the burden that is for the wife to have to do and pray that God will help you (men) be the best husband you can be. If we are to love our lives like Christ loves the church, then we should do the things He does for the church, which is covered in the Romans 8 verses.
