In fact, I'm going there first — before I ever share ways you can pray for your husband.

The Husband’s Favorites: Day 3 {On Praying for Him}
{What a gift to read Scott's words about why he chose this post as one of his favorites.

But instead, Teri Lynne faithfully prays Scripture for me to be shaped into the image of Christ.
