Thirty-One Prayers For My Husband: Seeing God Move in His Heart

by Jennifer Smith, Aaron Smith (Preparation)

Marriage is one of the most beautiful things God ever created & prayer for your marriage is one of the most essential parts of sustaining a Christian marriage. Prayer is the gift God gave us to be able to have direct access to His throne room to communicate with Him.
This book of 31 marriage prayers is purposed to encourage and guide you as you pray for specific aspects of your husband's life and character. My hope is that this marriage resource motivates you to intentionally pray and petition for your husband and your marriage on a daily basis through the power of prayer. There is even free writing space for you to add your own thoughts and prayers to each marriage prayer, to make them your own, and to lift up specific prayer requests your husband may have. I urge you to consider the importance of being a wife of faithful prayer, to commit to praying for your husband and marriage daily, and watch God move in both your hearts! If you have been blessed by the marriage book, "Power of a Praying Wife by Stormie Omartian", you will also be inspired by 31 Prayers For My Husband.

This compilation of marriage prayers was carefully composed based on areas of life that almost every husband faces. As you use this resource to pray over your husband you will:


Be encouraged to pray for specific areas of his life. Be challenged to make prayer a priority.

And your heart desires will align with God's

These prayers have helped me to intentionally pray for my husband daily. By using this tangible book, praying becomes a daily habit rather than a passing thought. This book is perfect for wives wanting to pray but not sure what to say or how to start. Start here!

This book was good and I gave it 30 plus days to pray for my husband. I followed the challenges. Now it's time to sit back and watch God change things.

[Taryn · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was amazing! Definitely going to go through it several more times it helps create good praying habits and really gets you thinking about so many areas to pray over your spouse you may not normally think of. GREAT BOOK! So glad I bought it! My husband is also going through the men's version and really likes it, highly recommend to couples no matter how long you've been married.

VERY easy to do! Love the prayer guide it gives you, then the space to write down your own prayers each day.

A Closer Walk

This is a great daily guide for prayer in multiple aspects of a man's life. Loved the challenges that were strategically placed throughout. I can definitely see myself working through 31 days of prayer for my husband again.

Prayer is unrated! I feel this book really helped me focus on my husband’s needs and this is my 3rd book for him! I have seen boundless progress and growth in our relationship! My husband loves the Lord so much and shows his discipline of our Christ Jesus behavior in so many ways. We fall but we don’t stay there. We have learned about Grace and protection of how life is towards us and how to handle it gracefully instead of staying in it. My husband thinks he learns from me but I honestly learn so much about him when focusing on praying for his beautiful self. I am grabbing another! And another.. and another…

[Annette Ridenour · Rating 3 out of 5]

I didn’t read through the whole thing but I pulled out the themes for prayer and the challenges. I do love the concept. It’s like building a muscle and having a workout plan. I want to take all the themes and put them together as a prayer liturgy.

[Briana Seegers · Rating 5 out of 5]

This little book is a great way to get you thinking about all the different ways you can be praying over your husband. There are sample prayers in each section and places for you to journal and respond with your own prayers and thoughts. It did require time and energy, but it was so worth it. And the best part, now I get to present this little book filled with my thoughts and prayers for my husband to my husband. It's the little things after all that remind us that we are known and loved. :)

Love it

I pick this book up during my prayer time. The passages are always relevant and they challenge me to take the time to lift up my husband and our marriage in prayer on a daily basis.

[Janie Carlson · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have read this book twice through in a row. The book is a great tool to pray for my husband. It gets me thinking about specific areas in his life and gives me the freedom to add to the written prayer. I believe it has helped me and my marriage. It is a resource that I will use again and again.

[Crystal · Rating 5 out of 5]

My husband and I were blessed by this book series! It encouraged us to spend time in scripture and prayer together daily. The prayers were relevant, and had a variety of good topics. We also prayed for each other on our own afterwards, which was really nice. We are going to go through these books again and again. They can be reread easily.

[Dimarie Henriquez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome book, really enjoyed reading it.

Over all I loved this book. Read it to guide me more on what to do when it comes to my husband. Definitely informed me of prayers on helping my husband become and to be mold in the man god has in stored for me.

Wonderful Prayers

I enjoyed this book. Each day, a new prayer to fully put my husband in prayer and receive blessing for our marriage.

[Racheal Fearday · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very easy read! My husband and I are reading the set together and it's a great way to strengthen our bond while focusing on the Lord.

God way not mine

I have truly give my husband to God. I have surrendered. God , love , peace of mind. Faith& believe.

[Emily · Rating 5 out of 5]

Somewhere along the road in my faith, I forgot how to pray. I made it so complicated that I became overwhelmed, intimidated, and frankly, too “busy”. Oh, I was so wrong. My unrealistic and unholy manipulation of prayer pushed me into a season of avoidance or at times, short prayers of desperation.

Last year I spent time diving deeeeeep into Scripture and was moved by the character of God. I was so overcome by the beauty of His presence that I longed for that sweet communion with Him again. And, I decided this year I would focus on reclaiming that joy to talk to Him again.

This book was unknowingly the perfect bridge back. It was so simple but deep, practical, and wise. It recentered my mindset and brought me back. And, in so many small yet monumental ways, God graciously answered my prayers for my husband.

To say I’m super thankful for this book would be an understatement.

One of the most IMPORTANT books you will ever Need or Read if you are divorced and looking, married, or engaged. Smith nails it. when it comes to forming the appropriate words for praying about your current or future spouse, this is the book. Wedding planners should give this book out at every consultation with a bride-to-be. The prayers are as meaningful as they are poetically and beautifully stated. I enjoy reading this book over and over again. It is an awesome gift idea for a bride-to-be. We spend way too much time planning the wedding and not the marriage. This is a book that helps the bride-to-be or future Mrs, focus and plan on what is really important, a successful marriage, and praying for her husband may be a good first step towards achieving that goal. The prayers are brief but powerful. Great job Mrs. Smith, you are at the top of my bestsellers list.

[Eleny · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great prayer prompts on different topics concerning marriage. It is a 30-day challenge but I decided to do one prayer a week to appreciate each prayer. There is a bible verse that links to the topic of the prayer. I thought that the prayers were well thought out and concise. I also like the journal part where you can write an addition to the prayer. It also has different challenges you can do for your marriage in between the prayers. There are also quotes featured as well. I enjoyed this book and I will recommend to friends and family.

[Secelia McNair · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’ve always wanted to pray for my husband daily, but I didn’t always know where to start or how to cover every area of his life. Thirty-One Prayers for My Husband gave me the direction I needed. For the past month, I’ve used this book to pray intentionally—with Scripture—for my husband’s heart, mind, faith, work, and more. Some prayers aligned with his specific requests, and others helped me cover things I hadn’t thought to pray about. It’s simple but powerful, and it’s become part of my daily rhythm.

[Emily · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book! Not going to shelve it but start again! Every day was very poignant and great for a starting point in prayer. Some days I wouldn't know what to write myself but just begin meditating on what she had started with...then would fill both journal pages before I realized it! It took me longer than the 31 days to get through it, I will admit, though I was still praying for him! Was such a blessing to me.

[Aubrey Lauren Padilla · Rating 5 out of 5]

To make it easier for myself, I try to read this book every year during my husband's birth month. I like how the prayers are written and I think it's great for someone who is new to praying. Each day focuses on a different prayer and each prayer, I think, are really relevant to the struggles, both great and small, that marriages face today in 2022. The prayers are short which makes it easy to fit into your day. And they're also specific and direct, which I like. Great book! Totally helpful!

[Paulina · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was recommended to me by a friend & Wow. Im speechless.

Jennifer was SO guided by the Holy Spirit through each prayer. I’m not an expert in prayer and sometimes I run out of things to say & this book opened my eyes! There are so many topics we can pray on in our husband’s life. There is power in a praying wife— being in communication with God about your marriage is so important.

I recommend it to all wives, so beautiful.

Continue to PRAY!

I prayed for my future husband, and thanks to 31 Prayers for My Futurure Husband, I was blessed with my hubby! Almost 5 years later, I'm praying for my husband, and he's praying for me, his wife. I sometimes struggle with knowing what to say when praying, but this book was able to help me put my thoughts into prayers, and I'm so grateful! It touched all the points. I felt like I was missing in my prayer and it WORKS.

[Erin Donaldson · Rating 5 out of 5]

A book I can read over and over, praying for my husband and marriage in many areas. I went through one chapter (prayer) a night. It seemed like the focus or theme went perfect with what was happening in life. The written prayers guided me to further prayer and meditation on each them.

I look forward to praying through it again and checking out some of her other books.

[Brianna Bloodworth · Rating 5 out of 5]

I did this challenge with other friends & it was amazing

A few married girlfriends of mine & I read this together everyday for 30 days. We talked about the challenges it was to pray for our spouse and prayed for each other while praying for our own marriages. It’s a very good book.

[Justine Hart · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book has some amazing pages. These prayers put into words so many feelings I’ve often tried to put to words myself and just couldn’t. I’ve highlighted, dog-eared and re-read several of them and plan to keep this book on my nightstand with my prayer journal so I can reference it when needed. Highly recommend.

[Stephanie Fernandez · Rating 5 out of 5]

These prayers are thoughtful, inspiring, and wise. I recommend any wife read through this book at least once in her prayer time. Whether you are new to praying or you've been walking with God for a long time, these prayers have some gems for you.
