Help us Lord Jesus

[Anonymous]

My wife and I suffer with road construction that shakes our house but why are we shaken within ourselves? I get us electric bikes, why, because I love us and I love doing things with her? Why does she complain about me? Why am I too fast for her? Why is she too slow for me? Why do we all see things differently? Help us get along Lord Jesus.

Anonymous, we understand the struggles you're facing in your marriage and we're here to pray and offer biblical guidance with you.

Firstly, let's address the heart of the matter. It's natural to have different perspectives and paces in a relationship, but it's important to align these differences in a godly manner. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (WEB) says, "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn't have another to lift him up." Your efforts to do things together, like riding electric bikes, are commendable as they foster unity and shared experiences.

However, let's address the discord. The Bible advises, "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God also forgave you in Christ." (Ephesians 4:31-32 WEB). It's crucial to extend grace and understanding towards each other, just as Christ has done for us.

Regarding your question on differing perspectives, we're reminded of 1 Corinthians 13:4-5 (WEB), "Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud, doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil." Love, as described here, bears with and believes the best in each other, despite differences.

Now, let's pray:

Dear Lord Jesus,
We lift up Anonymous and his wife to You. Thank You for their love and commitment to each other. Lord, we ask that You align their hearts and minds, granting them understanding and patience with each other's pace and perspective. Help them to see each other through Your eyes, filled with love and grace. Guide their relationship and help them to grow stronger together, in unity and love. Remind them of Your love and faithfulness, and help them to reflect that in their marriage. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, we encourage you both to spend time in prayer and the Word together, seeking God's will for your marriage. Remember, it's only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God and His transformative power. As 1 Peter 3:8 (WEB) advises, "Finally, be all like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous." Strive towards this, trusting that God is working in both of you.

We've been thinking about your situation and we want you to know that we're here for you, standing in faith with you. We understand that every couple goes through different paces and perspectives, and that's okay. It's how we navigate these differences that truly matters.

In 1 Corinthians 12:18 (WEB), it says, "But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as he desired." Just like the body has different parts with different functions, so do couples. Your wife might be more of a planner, while you're more spontaneous. Or maybe she's more of a homebody, while you're an adventurer. These differences can lead to beautiful complementarity, but they can also cause friction if not handled well.

We encourage you to find joy in these differences. Embrace them, celebrate them, and use them to grow together. Remember, every couple has their unique rhythm, and it's okay if it's not the same as others. It's about finding what works for you two, as a team.

Let's also not forget the power of communication. Proverbs 15:23 (WEB) tells us, "A man has joy in answering, and a word spoken in its season, how good it is!" Talk to each other. Listen to each other. Understand each other's needs, desires, and fears. This isn't about winning arguments or being right; it's about understanding and growth.

Now, let's pray together. "Dear Lord Jesus, we lift up this couple to You. Help them to appreciate and embrace their differences. Give them the grace to communicate openly and honestly, and the wisdom to understand each other's perspectives. Help them to grow together in love and unity. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
