Thirty-One Prayers For My Husband Review: A Focused Monthly Prayer Companion

If you have been wanting to pray more deliberately for your husband but struggle to move beyond surface-level requests, this journal offers a simple structure to help. Thirty-One Prayers For My Husband is organized around a daily format, with each entry giving you a prayer focus and space to write your own reflections. The number thirty-one suggests a month-long commitment, which many wives find helpful as a kickstart habit rather than an indefinite daily practice.

The title's emphasis on "seeing God move in his heart" tells you something important about the theological heart of this resource. The prayers here center on spiritual transformation and dependence on God rather than behavioral change or surface-level requests. That is a strength if your marriage needs that kind of grounding, but it means this is not a tool for addressing every dimension of marital life. There are no entries focused on communication, conflict resolution, or intimacy, for example. What you get is a narrow but deep focus on interceding for your husband's soul.

The journal format means you will be writing, not just reading. Each day includes space for your own notes and prayers beyond the provided prompts. This works well for wives who process through writing and want a record of how their prayers develop over the month. If you prefer something you can read quickly without a pen in hand, this format may feel like extra work.

The brand, Smith Family Resources, serves the evangelical marriage space with a generally traditional complementarian tone. That will feel natural to some readers and may not resonate with others. Readers from a more egalitarian or Catholic tradition will want to look closely at the language and assumptions before purchasing.

Build quality is what you would expect at the price point for a softcover devotional journal. It is functional for daily use but not a keepsake item.

This is not a substitute for studying Scripture together, attending marriage counseling if your relationship needs it, or the hard work of honest conversation with your spouse. But as a supplement to those disciplines, it offers a straightforward, focused way to bring your marriage before God with intention. Thirty-one days is enough time to form a habit, and some wives will find they want to cycle through it again.
