We understand that you are going through a challenging time in your relationship and we are here to pray with you and provide biblical guidance. Firstly, we notice that you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ or the title Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. For there is no other name by which we can be saved. As scripture says, "in no other name is there salvation: for there is no other name under heaven, given among men, There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12 WEB.
Now let's address the rest of your prayer request.
In all relationships, it's essential to remember that we should strive to love one another as Christ loved us. The Bible tells us, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." Ephesians 4:32 WEB.
However, it's crucial to address the issues in your request. If the person you are referring to is someone you are in a romantic relationship with, we need to ensure that this relationship is aligned with biblical principles. If this is a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship and you are both Christians then this needs to be considered courtship toward marriage. If this man is not your husband, then you are both Christians trying to determine if you will be married. If this man is your husband then let's address how you can both work on improving your marriage and growing closer to God.
If you are not married, then the Bible tells us to flee from sexual immorality and that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. "Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s." 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 WEB.
It's also important to remember that we should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. "Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB.
As a courtship or marriage relationship, both of you should be working on your own personal growth in Christ and helping each other become more like Him. Consider the words of the Apostle Paul, "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;" Ephesians 5:22-25 WEB.
Let's pray together for wisdom and guidance:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who is seeking help in her relationship. We pray that You would give her wisdom and discernment as she navigates this situation. Help her to see clearly whether this relationship is aligned with Your will and Your Word.
Lord, if this man is not her husband but a man she is considering as a spouse, then we pray that You would guide them both in Your wisdom, helping them to remain pure and honor You in their courtship. If this man is her husband, then we pray that You would help them both to grow closer to You and to each other, working together to build a marriage that honors You.
We also pray that You would soften his heart, that he would see his own flaws and seek to treat her with kindness and respect. Help them both to communicate effectively and to work through this situation in a way that brings glory to Your name.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Please consider these biblical principles and seek God's will for your relationship.
