Abba, in the beginning You provided a partner for man. Now, I have found a wife to be my partner, and I have obtained favour from Adonai. I will not let mercy and truth forsake me. I bind them around my neck and write them on the tablet of my heart, and so I find favour and high esteem in the sight of YHVH and man. In the Name of Yeshua, I purpose to provide leadership to my wife the way Moshiach does to His Church, not by domineering but by cherishing. I will go all out in my love for her, exactly as Moshiach did for His Church – a love marked by giving, not getting. We are the Body of Moshiach, and when I love my wife, I love myself. It is my desire to give my wife what is due her, and I purpose to share my personal rights with her. Abba, I am neither anxious nor intimidated but I am a good husband to my wife. I honour her and delight I her. In the new life of YHVH’s grace, we are equals. I purpose to treat my wife as an equal so that our prayers will be answered. Adonai, I delight greatly in Your Commandments and my descendants will be mighty on earth and the generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches will be in our house, and my righteousness will endure forever. In the Name of Yeshua, amen.
