Feeling inadequate as the spiritual leader of our home

Honestly struggling with this. Wife is way more disciplined about prayer and Bible study than I am. She's the one who remembers to pray with the kids before bed. I feel like I should be leading more spiritually but I'm just... not as consistent. I know I need to step up and can't rely on her to carry that responsibility. Started asking God to help me be the leader my family needs. Anyone else dealt with this feeling? How did you push through?

Don't be so hard on yourself. Being the spiritual leader doesn't mean you have to be perfect at it. The fact that you care this much says a lot.

You're not alone in this man. I struggle with it too. Maybe you guys can tag team it? Like she does Bible study night and you do something else spiritual you're more naturally drawn to?

I feel this so much. My wife is way more disciplined than I am too. But honestly I think the kids see both of us trying and that matters more than one of us being perfect.
