Praying For My Husband’s Affection
Lord, I am praying for my husband’s affection. Let there be open affection between my husband and me. Enable each of us to lay aside self-consciousness or apathy and be effusive in our display of love. Help us to demonstrate how much we care for and value each other. Remind us throughout each day to affectionately touch one another in some way. Help us to not be cold undemonstrative, uninterested or remote.
Enable us to be warm, tender, compassionate, loving and adoring. Break through any stubbornness on our part that refuses to change and grow. If one of us is less affectionate to the others detriment, bring us into balance. Where any lack of affection has planted a negative view of marriage in our children, or taught them an incorrect way of relating to a marriage partner, help us to model the right way so that they can observe it.

Scriptures:
1 Corinthians 7:3
The husband should give his wife what she deserves as his wife. And the wife should give her husband what he deserves as her husband.
Ephesians 5:21
Honor Christ by submitting to each other.
1 Peter 3:7
In the same way, you husbands should live with your wives in an understanding way, since they are weaker than you. You should show them respect, because God gives them the same blessing he gives you—the grace of true life. Do this so that nothing will stop your prayers from being heard.
In his book The 5 Love Languages, author Gary Chapman offers thoughtful guidance for our most special relationships. Between busy schedules and long days, expressing love can fall by the wayside. Do you forget to compliment your spouse, to give gifts ‘just because,’ or to linger in your spouse’s embrace? The things that say “I love you” seem to either not get said or not get through. The 5 Love Languages is about saying it—and hearing it—clearly. No gimmicks, no psychoanalyzing…just learning to express love in your spouse’s language, whether it’s with words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time, or physical touch. Book includes The 5 Love Languages personal profile!
