About Nick Harrison
I NTRODUCTION
M en, God has given us a tremendous calling as husbands. He s also made it a bit easier by giving us wives we love and with whom we want to spend the rest of our lives. Still, there are challenges, aren t there? Leading without dominating, listening without commenting, denying ourselves, all these and so much more.
But when God calls, he enables. He has given us the abilities and the strength to carry out our husbandly assignment. My hope is that the following pages will help us become better husbands and more Christ-like men.
Each page includes a Scripture verse, an observation about the topic, and a suggested prayer. Keep in mind that though each page will take about a minute to read and pray, no one s watching the clock. I hope these short prayers will serve as a jump-start for you to pray on, tailoring your petitions to your specific needs.
Finally, as I was mentioning to my wife over lunch, there are some topics that are repeated. When I told her what those topics were-communication, leadership, pride, protection, and a few others-she insisted that the repetition was a good thing and I should keep those topics repeated in the book. As a good husband, I listened to my wife.
May God be with you as you read and pray-and may God bless your marriage!
T HE G OLDEN R ULE OF M ARRIAGE
As you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.
L UKE 6:31
M arriage is a lifelong course in selflessness. Many of us get a low grade on the first few pop quizzes we face. But we can be quick learners when we want to be. Such is the case by simply living with our spouse according to the Golden Rule of as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them as our mission statement.
Practice makes perfect. Another pop quiz is just on the horizon. Be prepared.
Father, help me to do for my wife those things I would want her to do for me. Help me anticipate her needs before they re apparent. Enable me as I continue this course in unselfishness called Marriage 101. I pray you ll bless our marriage with mutual selflessness, deepening our love for one another-and for you.
Y OU, AS L EADER
Husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.
1 P ETER 3:7
L eadership doesn t come easily to many husbands. At least not the kind of leadership that includes tact, humility, and preferring our wives over ourselves. And yet true family leadership for a husband is all about just that-selflessness. The great thing is that most wives respond overwhelmingly to leadership that serves. They also balk at a prideful leader who won t communicate effectively or who refuses to listen to their wisdom.
God, help me to be the leader our family needs. Give me wisdom beyond my normal abilities. Guide me in decision-making that affects our family. Remind me to listen to my wife when she shares her insight with me. Teach me how to lead through serving and to serve through leading. As I guide our family, I pray you will lead me to follow closely the path you ve blazed for us.
T HE H USBAND AS H ELPER
The L ORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.
G ENESIS 2:18
W hen Eve was created, it s noted she was a helper to Adam. But does that mean Adam wasn t also a helper to Eve? Yes, he was. Husbands serve their wives by helping them in any way they can. They re there for them. Where does your wife need your help now? If you don t know, ask her.
God, it is truly not good for man to live alone, so thank you for providing me with a helper. As such, I know that I m also to help her in her role as wife and mother. I pray I would become more observant to her needs and to ways I can be there for her. Even today show me how I can be of help to my wife.
Bring us closer together, Lord. Help us to always remember that each of us is a helper fit for each other.
T IME A LONE T OGETHER
My beloved is mine, and I am his.
S ONG OF S OLOMON 2:16
W e live in an age when both husbands and wives are busy. Often, both partners work outside the home. After work there can be distractions: housework (for both him and her), kids, bills to pay, errands to run and more. Busyness can be an enemy of even a good marriage. It can destroy intimacy and hinder true communication. Good husbands make sure there s daily time to be alone with their wives. Schedule it i
