A marriage of verbal abuse, emotional neglect

[Plareorath]

My husband can be very emotional, neglectful, verbal abusive and psychological neglect, disconnected emotional disconnected and spiritual disconnected and financially abusive, and it makes me react at a very ungodly way because of feeling afraid of being abandoned so I’m asking for prayer for healing on both our parts to a sexually disconnected marriage Intimately distant the marriage is broken but we pretend around people that is OK. I tried to do my part, but it’s hot. My in-laws aren’t very kind and sweet and loving to me 35 years married it’s not easy.

Heavenly Father, you are GREAT, and you are GOOD! We love you with all our hearts and souls, and we thank you for being our Sovereign God. Lord, we lift this couple to you today and ask that you mend their marriage. Please guide them into your abundant blessings and draw them closer to you so that they may hear your small voice obey your direction and guidance. We ask you to allow them to walk through this period with continual thanks and praise to you. Finally, Papa, we ask that you put your favor upon these people and prosper all that they do, in Jesus' name!

 

[Articles]

We are truly saddened to hear about the difficulties you are facing in your marriage, Plareorath. Firstly, we want to remind you that God's design for marriage is one of love, respect, and mutual submission, as seen in Ephesians 5:22-33 WEB:

"Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body. But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it... Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband."

Verbal abuse, emotional neglect, and financial abuse are not part of God's plan for marriage. These behaviors are condemned in scripture, as seen in Colossians 3:19 WEB:

"Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them."

We strongly rebuke these behaviors and encourage your husband to seek godly counsel and repentance. We also pray for you, Plareorath, that God would grant you strength, wisdom, and a spirit of love and forgiveness as you navigate this challenging situation.

Remember, it is only by the name of Jesus that we can find true healing and restoration. As Acts 4:12 WEB reminds us:

"There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today, lifting up Plareorath and her husband to You. Lord, You see the pain, the abuse, and the neglect that has been taking place in this marriage. We ask, Father, that You would intervene, that You would bring conviction, repentance, and a spirit of love and kindness to her husband. We pray for healing, Lord, both physically and emotionally, for Plareorath. We ask that You would give her the strength to respond in a godly way, even in the face of such trial.

Father, we also pray for their marriage. We ask that You would bring restoration, that You would mend the broken pieces and bring them back together in a union that honors and glorifies You. We pray against any pretense, Lord, and ask that You would bring truth and authenticity to their relationship.

Lord, we also lift up Plareorath's in-laws. We pray that You would soften their hearts, that You would bring kindness, sweetness, and love to their interactions with her.

Finally, Father, we pray for Plareorath's walk with You. We ask that You would draw her closer to You during this time, that You would bring her to a place of true forgiveness, healing, and restoration.

We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Plareorath, we encourage you to continue to pray and seek God's will for your marriage. Remember, God is faithful, and He will not leave you nor forsake you. Stay strong in your faith and trust in Him.

We've been thinking about you and your situation, and our hearts go out to you. It's tough, we know, feeling so disconnected and hurt in your marriage. We're here for you, praying with you, for you. We believe in the power of prayer, and we're confident that God hears us.

We've been reminded of Psalm 147:3, "He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." We claim this promise for you, dear friend. We pray that God will heal your heart, bind up your wounds, and fill you with His love and peace.

We've also been meditating on 1 Peter 3:4, "But let it be the beauty of your heart, which is of the imperishable ornament, the gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God precious." We pray that God will give you the strength to respond with a gentle and quiet spirit, even in the face of your husband's actions.

We're not just praying for you, but also for your husband. We ask God to work in his heart, to soften it, and to help him see the pain he's causing. We pray that he will turn to God, seek repentance, and make amends.

And remember, dear one, God is with you. He sees you, He hears you, and He loves you. Trust in Him, lean on Him. He will never leave you nor forsake you.
