This is a letter that I have written with Biblical backup for wives who want their homes to be powerhouses of prayers, and in obedience, for husbands who will be receptive to this letter of encouragement and truth. When the enemy tempted Jesus in the wilderness, He responded with “It is written… .” I have provided you with the Words of Jesus to use to defeat the enemy in your marriage and make it a powerhouse of prayer. We will all grow in this together and the households of Christ may bloom and usher in both the Kingdom and God’s will in our homes, in Jesus name. Amen.
I thank God for our union[1] and that you and I are one flesh, and anyone[2] that tries to put us asunder is working against God Himself.
I thank God that I am your help meet[3]. Because God has blessed us and called us to be fruitful and multiply and in turn bless the earth and have dominion over everything[4], we have every equipment we need to succeed in this earth. I will help you succeed as you help us fulfill the command of the LORD Most High together.
I thank God that even though the fall of Adam led to the husband ruling over the wife[5], you are obedient to Jesus to be great in our family by ministering over me (and over our children [where applicable])[6]. I thank God that in serving our family, you are like Jesus, the husband of the church, who did not come to be ministered to but to minister and give His life as a ransom for many. I know that Jesus will surely keep His Word that as you give your life for my sake and that of the children, you will always find your life[7]. And as you serve our family (and provide for us[8]), I will also help you add to provisions, and together we serve the Lord.
I would love us, dear Husband, to agree concerning whatever we need in our household and what we observe others need, and pray together as a family, believing that it is done for us and them[9].
Together, let us declare the coming of the Kingdom of the LORD and for His will to be done today and every day[10], so help us God, in the name of Jesus. Amen.
I know that as we obey the Words of the Lord, we are truly His disciples and His truth will make us free[11] in our marriage and in all things.
I love you.
Your Wife.

4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that movet g `h upon the earth.
16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
26 But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; 27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.
