Finally, discord in the home is a definite obstacle to prayer. Peter specifically mentions this as a hindrance to the prayers of a husband whose attitude toward his wife is less than godly. “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” (1 Peter 3:7). Where there is a serious conflict in family relationships and the head of the household is not demonstrating the attitudes Peter mentions, the husband’s prayer communication with God is hindered.
Hatimaye, ugomvi katika jamii ndio kikwazo kikuu kwa maombi. Petro hasa anataja hiki kama kizuizi kwa maombi ya mume ambaye mtazamo wake kwa mke wake sio wa uungu. "Kadhalika ninyi waume, kaeni na wake zenu kwa akili; na kumpa mke heshima, kama chombo kisicho na nguvu; na kama warithi pamoja wa neema ya uzima, kusudi kuomba kwenu kusizuiliwe" (1 Petro 3: 7). Wakati kuna mgogoro mkubwa katika mahusiano ya familia na kichwa cha boma haonyeshi nia Petro anataja, sala ya mawasiliano ya huyo mume na Mungu yanazuiliwa.
