Week 1: Matrimony Monday

{source}

As many of you know, I have joined with Kendra and Exceptionalist for Matrimony Monday. I absolutely love it because I get to meet some amazing women and continue to grow my marriage.

I decided each Monday (yes, I know it's Tuesday) would be decidated to the book, "For the Love of Our Husbands" by Darby Dugger. I got this book to review a while ago. I read it straight through and have recently decided to go back and read the book the "proper way."

I meant to start last week, but I didn't. I am going to be better about this. Basically each week for the next year I will complete the challenge in her book.

This first week:

Do you struggle to pray regularly and specifically for your husband?

I go back and forth on this. I have recently gotten a prayer journal, and write down all my prayers. I need to get better about writing Gary's prayers down as well.

Also, there are so many quick and easy prayers for husbands on Pinterest. I don't know why I have such a hard time with this.

This challenge is to examine my life and see what distractions can be sacrificed in order to make room for a more powerful prayer life.

I know things can be eliminated, but I also think I need to schedule it in my life more. I need to wake up earlier and do a bible study or pray.

Do you pray for spouse? What do you use?
