Struggling With Loving the Man You MarriedSample

Before you begin this devotional, I want to encourage you:
There is hope—and God wants to help you navigate the tough moments you may be facing in your marriage. As you read, I invite you to approach each day with an open heart, a spirit of forgiveness, and a willingness to see your husband—and your situation—through God’s eyes.

Let’s get started.

Day 1: Seeing Him Through God’s Eyes

The enemy wants you to focus on what your husband is not, whispering lies that he’ll never change, never grow, and never be who you need. But the truth is, as long as he has breath in his body, God is still writing his story. And as his wife, you have a front-row seat—not to critique, but to intercede and believe.

It’s easy to create an image of who we think our husband should be. But have you paused to ask God, “Who did You create him to be in my life?” Sometimes, we’re so focused on our unmet expectations that we miss the miracle already in motion.

God sees your husband with love, purpose, and destiny. When you choose to align your vision with God’s perspective, your prayers shift. Your tone shifts. Your treatment of him shifts. And soon, your heart begins to soften in ways that make room for transformation—both his and yours.

No matter what today looks like, remind yourself: “My husband is a gift. And as long as I am his wife, I have a holy responsibility to honor him as God’s masterpiece in progress.”

Scripture for Meditation:
"So we have stopped evaluating others from a human point of view... This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!"
— 2 Corinthians 5:16–17 (NLT)

Prayer:
Lord, help me to see my husband the way You see him. Give me eyes to recognize his potential, heart to honor him, and patience to walk with him through every stage of growth. Let my words and actions reflect Your truth, not the enemy’s lies. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Action Step:

Make a list of the things you love about your husband—big or small.
Take a moment today to reflect on that list, and choose one thing to share with him. Whether through a text, a note, or a quiet moment together, let him know something you still appreciate about who he is.
