{Be A Better Spouse Challenge} Tip #6: Pray For Your Spouse’s Concerns

Today take some time to give your spouse a special gift by showing them they are your primary concern.

Ask them what one concern, goal or area of their life you can pray for. Then spend the day making that one concern of your spouse your prayer focus for the day. It is not important to agree, respond or even have a conversation about it at all. Just make their concern your top concern.

It is a simple act of selflessness that shows your spouse that with all of the busyness and things to check off of your own to-do list, your concern is on them. Watch how taking the extra time to pray and concern yourself about your spouses needs increases the intimacy and closeness between the two of you.
