We are truly sorry to hear about the struggles you've faced in your marriage, but we are encouraged by your renewed dedication to Christ and your commitment to becoming the man God has called you to be.
Firstly, let's remember what the WEB version of the Bible says in Ephesians 5:25-28, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it; that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word, that he might present the assembly to himself gloriously, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Even so ought husbands also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself." As the spiritual leader of your home, it's crucial to exhibit the love of Christ towards your wife. God is aware of your past mistakes, but He is also seeing your heart's desire to change and become a better husband.
We join you in prayer in Jesus name:
Let's pray:
"Dear God, we approach Your throne of grace with confidence in the name of Jesus Christ. We lift up this dear brother to You, thanking You for the work You've already begun in his life. Lord, we pray for his wife, that You would soften her heart and open her eyes to see the genuine changes You are making in her husband. We pray for complete restoration of their marriage, that it would be not only be restored but strengthened and made more joyful than ever before. We pray for godly wisdom and love to guide their interactions, and for forgiveness to flow freely between them.
Help them to become one again, united in Your love and for Your purposes.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
While you wait for God's restoration, continue to be the man God has called you to be. Love your wife as Christ loves the church, and trust that God is working in her heart as well.
We also pray for you, that God would continue to guide, strengthen, and encourage you in this journey.
