Let Him Hear Your Voice

It was an ordinary morning, and nothing about it felt dramatic or out of the routine. I was praying the way I often do, quietly, with my hand resting gently on my husband. Sometimes I pray aloud when we are together, and other times my prayers are silent. That morning, I assumed this would be one of those quiet moments.

As I prayed, I felt a gentle prompting in my spirit telling me to let him hear my voice. Not just the gesture, not just the knowing, but the words themselves.

I paused and realized that while my husband knew I was praying for him, he could not hear what I was declaring over him. He could not hear what I was agreeing with God about his life. In that moment, I understood that something shifts when love and faith are spoken aloud.

So I opened my mouth and began to pray where he could hear me. I spoke the words God placed on my heart for him. I told him how grateful I was for the man he is. I declared that God had given him wisdom for every decision he would face. I spoke peace over his mind and strength for the responsibilities he carries. I reminded him that I believed in him and that he was not walking alone.

As I prayed, I felt the weight of those words, not only over him, but within me as well. There was power in being verbal.

Pause for a moment and reflect on your own marriage. When was the last time your spouse heard you speak faith, affirmation, or encouragement over them out loud. Not only through actions, but through words.

There is no guilt here and no pressure. There is only awareness.

Scripture Reflection

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit. ~ Proverbs 18:21

Scripture reminds us that words are not neutral. What we speak carries weight. In marriage, our words can build, strengthen, and breathe life into the one we love.

Heart Truths

January often invites us to reset our marriages. We think about communication, connection, and what we want to do differently in the year ahead. But sometimes a reset does not come through a long conversation or a detailed plan. Sometimes it comes through a quiet return to something simple and intentional.

In marriage, we often assume our love is understood. We show it through gestures. We carry it in prayer. We feel it deeply, but love is strengthened when it is spoken.

“I believe in you. I am praying for you. I am with you.”

These words matter. They encourage. They build faith. They remind our spouse that they are not carrying life alone.

New beginnings in marriage do not always require fixing what is broken. Sometimes they require renewing what has grown quiet.

Your spouse does not only need your prayers. They need to hear your faith.

Love does not lose its power when it is spoken often. It deepens.

What you declare in love can strengthen what feels tired and renew what feels routine.

Your Love Note

This is your reminder.

Your voice matters in your marriage. What you speak in love carries weight. The words you choose can help reset your connection and renew your commitment, one moment at a time.

Loving Well In Action

This week, consider how you are loving your husband with your words. Instead of only praying silently, choose one moment to speak a prayer or affirmation aloud. Declare what you believe about him, not only what you hope will change. Let your words become a place of safety, encouragement, and faith.

Finish With Intention

New beginnings in marriage do not come from perfection. They come from presence and intention.

This year, love well by letting your spouse hear your heart.
