1 Peter 3:7
7 Likewise, 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.
When I feel distant from God or feel like He is not answering my prayers, it is useful to honestly examine myself to see if I have any sin. Verse 7 is a sobering reminder that relational sin can hinder our prayers. If we are cheating on our spouse, if we are not "showing honor" to our spouse, it will hinder our prayers. We cannot expect to live in sin and also have God bless us.
God, help me to bless my spouse.
