I Peter 3:7b (MSG) In the new life of God’s grace, you’re equals (husband and wife)…being heirs together of the grace of life (KJVS)…so that nothing will hinder your prayers (NIV).
Satan has launched an assault against unity among believers, and Christian homes are a primary and unique target. To some degree this is true because of the unique endowment of the Holy Spirit that is available to husband and wife as they are united in prayer (Matthew 18:19). Being heirs together of the grace of God, built upon the foundation of a growing relationship between husband and wife, there is no other counterpart in all creation that compares to the power of a couple’s united prayer focus. God’s Genesis command was that they would be fruitful, multiply, and have dominion (Gen. 1:28) indicating vocation, procreation and administrative partnership with God. Are you praying with your spouse every day? Satan will do everything possible to interfere with it. If you are married, make it a daily, primary priority.
