Husbands should respect their wives' personal spiritual practices, like wearing a scapular, without exerting control. Tolerance and understanding should guide their relationship, rather than misuse of power.

If you like what we do and want to regularly support our mission to build the Reign of Mary and/or assist the episcopal ministry of Bishop Athanasius Schneider, please consider becoming a Servant of Mary.

I think not; this would be an abuse of the power of husbands. This is a personal decision of the conscience to pray or to make devotions. It is not disturbing matrimony when the wife is wearing a scapular. So the husband must be tolerant and not abuse his powers.
