[quote]Sister relax, like I said you can't expect a sudden change overnight. Don't be angry with him, be calm and make him feel you understand his situation. Tell himThe prayer occupies great importance in a Muslim’s life and is the foremost manifestation of one’s faith. Its objective is to remember God. People tend to forget Him and the prayer reminds them of a superior Being before whom they must submit and consign their matters. They must thank Him on His favours and ask for guidance from Him. 
You must also remember that it is the farz rakat which is obligatory. On the day of judgement  it is these farz rakat about which we will be questioned, not the sunnah and nafl are not obligatory. So you should tell him to start off with these farz.

It is not expected of him to start offerring all five salat everyday immediately. Tell him to start of with just one but what he should concentrate on is it's meaning. Most of the Muslims who offer salat are unaware of it's meaning and they just offer for the sake of it which is reflected in their day to day dealings.
You yourself should understand the meanings of the utterances in salat and make him also understand them.
So even if he offers one prayer each day but he offers it with understanding it will produce very good results. And soon Inshallah he'll become punctual.
Hopefully this helps.[/quote]
