“Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them (your wife) according to knowledge, giving honor unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.” (I Peter 3:7)
A pastor friend told me of serving as the evangelist in a revival. He and the pastor were making late afternoon evangelism visits in the community. They stopped by the pastor’s house for a cup of coffee. The pastor got mad at his wife and as he was storming out of the back door he threw his coffee cup at his wife, barely missing her face.
My pastor friend followed him out the back door and got in the car with the other pastor who said, “Let’s go to church and pray and then make another visit or two before church.”
My friend said, “Brother, the very next thing you need to do is go back in there and apologize to you wife and get things right with her. God won’t hear anything you say in a prayer until you do.”
