“Covering” is a kind of metaphor for husbands being the head – the wife coming under her husband’s wing. (1 Cor. 11:3-15, Eph. 5:22-24)
An ancient Hebraic wedding custom included a robe or shawl that a groom placed around the shoulders of his bride signifying she has come under his covenant covering of protection, and spiritual, physical, emotional, and material care.
In times like these, it is essential to cover our families in prayer daily. For the next few weeks, we will present more prayers for your spouse - beginning with husbands covering their wives in prayer and supplication to the Lord.
