I learnt that fasting is a special way of asking from God. Prayer couple with fasting have a great power, when science fails,prayer previl.
Fasting is observed when a person needs something special thing from God, like when someone dear to us is sick,or when someone is writing an exam,or when someone want to be set free from the bondage of Satan.
Through prayer and fasting situations that seems impossible to man becomes possible through the mercy of God.
Isaiah 58:6 says:Is not this fast that I have chosen?to loose the bands of wickedness,to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free,and that ye break every yoke?.
When husband or the wife is observing fasting,they should practice self-control,they should abstain by coming to mutual agreement,they should render what is due to each other for it the commandment of God.
The wife have no power over her body likewise the husband.
1 Corinthians 7:3 says:Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife to the husband.
4 says: The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body,but the wife.
5 says: Defraud ye not one the other, expect it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for incontinency.
Husband and wife should dwell according to the doctrine of Christ.
The husband should not maltreat the wife or turn the wife to a punching bag because they weaker vessel, and so that their prayers will not be hindered.
1Peter 3:7 Likewise, husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife,as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
Ephesians 5:25 says: Husbands, love your wives, even as christ also loved the church and gave himself for it.
The wife should be submissive to the husband, the husband should not be dominated by the wife because husband is the provider and head over the wife.
A man should not have a covering on his head while praying because it is a shame to him.
Covering here is talking about a man with a long hair.
1Corinthians 11:14 says:Doth not even nature itself teach you, that ,if a man have a long hair,it is a shame unto him?
The covering on the head of a woman is her glory and honour to God
When a man is a believer, and the woman is a believer,they are both sanctify likewise their children.
