Let me suggest looking at a cross-reference to what Ephesians 5:21-6:4 says about the responsibility of husbands.  You will find some challenging information in 1 Peter 3:7.  “Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.” 

To be considerate requires you to know your wife well enough to understand what pleases or displeases her, what her strengths and weaknesses are.  Most men think they know their wives, but if you asked their wives you’d find they really don’t.  Husbands are to know their wives well enough to be considerate toward them in their relationship.  Treat them with respect.

They’re both different in some ways, yet identical in other ways.  Humanly, men and women have different strengths and weaknesses.  Spiritually they equally share being heirs of the gracious gift of life. 

If men don’t take these realities into consideration in their relationship with their wives they will be hindered in their prayer life.  If you’ve been frustrated, wondering why your prayers haven’t been answered, evaluate your relationship with your wife. 

In every relationship we have, getting to know each other and then being considerate of each other on the basis of that knowledge is essential.  It will enable us to encourage and enrich each other’s lives to become all God intended us to be and to accomplish according to His will.
