These help me in my vocation of being a loving wife to my husband. A lot of times I get caught up in the children, etc and I need to nurture and love our relationship to keep it strong to be a good example of what a wonderful marriage is! I purchased these pray cards a long time ago at our Catholic Bookstore. If you can't find them and would like them I'd be happy to get them for you. God Bless you and your marriage!

Thanks for sharing great prayer cards!
I really like these Ang! I've seen these on your fridge and on Sara's and Jake's.

I definitely like the idea of these, but must confess that I think #9 on both of these lists is a little old fashioned. I think wives and husbands can offer a lot in terms of support and trouble shooting some home/work place issues. We offer another perspective that might be more trusted than a colleagues.
And as for the wives... we kind of work for our husbands, so we should feel ok telling him if we have any issues so that they might be worked through to better serve the family.
