Anyone know where the Bible verse is that says that if a man is mean to his wife God doesn'r hear his prayers?

Update:

oops that was supposed to be "doesn't"

Update 2:

Sorry folks, the cricket misses her mom is right. The Bible says direspecting your wife hinders your prayers.1 Peter 3:7 is the verse. Oh and God doesn't hear everyones prayers. Before you are a Christian He only hears your prayer to be saved from sin. A person who is still in their sin is separated from God. Thanks Cricket

    I know it's in 1 or 2 Peter. Hang on, I'll get the exact verse.

    Edit: It's 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.

    I know of no such verse. The only one that talks directly about not getting prayers answered is one that the proclaimed SUNday christians NEVER READ:

    Prov. 28:9 If a person will not listen to the law (Torah) , even his prayer is an abomination.

    And they wonder why their prayers never get answered.

    No way hosea! If a man is mean to his wife that is very bad but listen- God forgives. SO if that man asked for forgiveness, God will forgive him. But just to make sure I'm going to check. God listens to all prayers.

    My dad is a pastor. Jesus Rocks! I rebuke the devil in the name of Jesus!

    Hope this helps! :)

    I think this alludes to a place where Jesus tells his disciples that if you hate your brother , first go and make peace with him , then come and follow me.

    Or, husbands, love your wives. This would make being mean kind of contradictory...

    At the very least being mean to ones wife is bad carma.
