You may be resentful or hurt because you've been the brunt of "his talk", but you must still pray for your husband.  No matter how he's hurt your feelings... your words are powerful too, and those that carry the Word of God are more powerful than any two edged sword (Hebrews 4:12).  Don't doubt the power your words carry on behalf of your husband.  Pray for his heart to overflow with the love of Jesus so it will pour out of him and make him a man of HIS Word.

Dear Heavenly Father, I pray for You to make my husband a man not only of his word, but of YOUR word.  May his talk be a reflection of You and Your love.  Lord, I pray that when he struggles to know the right words to speak, that You would close his mouth so he never speaks and sounds like a fool.  Lord, let his words be wise and bring life.  Let him never be a man who has to have the last word... but instead know that there is power in silence as well.  Let him know when to speak, and when to be quiet.  Lord, I pray that You would help me with this as well... let my words speak life, love and wisdom into our marriage and my husband's life.  Any may my talk always edify my husband, even when I struggle with him.  Help me to not be offended by his words and become resentful, but instead give me the strength and wisdom to pray fervently for him when he falls.  I want him to be a man who doesn't just say things and nothing happens... but instead be a man who makes things happen and when he speaks, others listen because they know his words are true.  In Jesus' name, Amen.
