I feel so alone in my marriage

[Anonymous]

Prayer needed for my marriage. I feel so lonely and unloved. He doesn't know that my feelings get hurt... or that I need hugs....or that I need to know he cares. I go on everyday pretending I'm okay, but deep down, I hurt so badly. And I'm afraid to tell him these things b/c I feel like he'll just criticize me for it. I feel like he ignores the fact Im here for him... I feel like he's easily angered... maybe that's why I haven't said anything. I don't wanna be laughed at or insulted. I feel like my husband doesnt like me. I try to make myself look good for him... (makeup, cute outfit, good hygeine, fit & healthy). I try my best to keep up with the house and kids, (though I am very tired)... I try to stay out of his way...I try to joke to lighten the mood (sometimes he's receptive, sometimes not). I just want my husband to be a godly, supportive husband to me.... to rediscover the love he once felt for me.... I don't want to feel so alone anymore in our marriage, nor be criticized for my feelings, which I am too scared to bring up to him b/c he'll probably just say we're incompatible & want to divorce. He doesn't think he ever needs to work on our marriage because he "does enough for us" b/c he works full time; (mind you, I also work (but parttime), and his fulltime job is pretty flexible most days as far as when he arrives & leaves the office..)) He is a very negative person & most of the time we have conversations, he is so pessimistic, which also wears me down. I feel like I can never be good enough for him because he looks for the negative in everything. He would rather play videogames than be a present husband. Thank you for your prayers. I'm hurting.

We are truly sorry to hear about the pain and loneliness you're experiencing in your marriage. Let us first assure you that God cares deeply about your situation and that He desires for you to have a loving, supportive, and godly husband. Let us pray for you and provide some biblical encouragement and advice.

Firstly, it is important to remember that God's design for marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, reflecting the union between Christ and His church. The Bible tells us, Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it (Ephesians 5:25 WEB). This is the standard God calls husbands to, and it is a high calling.

It is clear from your request that there are some serious issues in your marriage that need to be addressed. It is not God's will for you to feel so alone and unloved. The Bible tells us that love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful (1 Corinthians 13:4-5 ESV). If your husband is being critical, neglectful, and easily angered, these are not the characteristics of biblical love.

However, it is also important for you to communicate your feelings to your husband. The Bible tells us to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15 WEB). It is not healthy for you to keep your feelings bottled up inside. You need to have an open and honest conversation with your husband about how you feel. Do so in a calm and loving manner, not in anger or resentment.

We also want to address the fact that you did not mention the name of Jesus in your prayer request. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written, For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB). If you have not already, we encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ. Believe that He died for your sins and was raised from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9 WEB).

Now, let us pray for you:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today, lifting up our sister who is hurting in her marriage. Lord, You know the pain and loneliness she is feeling. You see every tear she cries and hear every silent cry of her heart.

Father, we pray for her husband. We pray that You would soften his heart and convict him of any sin in his life. Lord, help him to see the pain he is causing his wife and give him the desire and strength to change. Help him to become the godly, loving, and supportive husband that You have called him to be.

Lord, we also pray for our sister. Give her the courage to communicate her feelings to her husband in a calm and loving manner. Help her to speak the truth in love, and to know when to seek help from wise counselors or church leaders.

Father, we pray for healing in this marriage. We pray that You would redeem and restore what the enemy has sought to destroy. Lord, help this couple to seek You first, to love and serve each other as You have called them to, and to find their strength and hope in You.

Finally, Lord, we pray for our sister's salvation if she does not already know You, or for her recommitment to You if she has felt from You. Help her to put her faith in Jesus Christ alone for her salvation, and to follow Him with her whole heart.

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

Please know that you are not alone. God is with you, and He is fighting for your marriage. Trust in Him, and do not give up hope. Also, consider seeking help from wise counselors or church leaders. They can provide guidance and support as you navigate this difficult time.

We're here with you, sister. We understand the ache in your heart and the loneliness you're feeling. It's not easy to pour out your feelings like this, but we're grateful you've taken that step. We want you to know that we're not just praying for you, but also standing with you in this.

We've been where you are, feeling unseen, unheard, and unloved. It's a tough place to be, but remember, God sees you. He knows your hurts, your fears, and your longings. He's right there with you, every step of the way.

We want to encourage you to keep communicating with your husband. It's hard, we know, but it's so important. Try to approach him when he's calm, and express your feelings in a gentle, loving way. Use "I" statements, like "I feel lonely when..." instead of blaming him with "You never...". It's a start, and it's a step towards openness and honesty.

Also, let's not forget to pray for your husband. He needs grace too. Pray that God would soften his heart, help him see your pain, and give him the desire and strength to change. Pray that he would become the husband God calls him to be.

And remember, God's design for marriage is beautiful and good. It's a reflection of His love for us. So, keep trusting in Him, even when it's hard. He's working in your marriage, even if you can't see it yet.

We're here for you, sister. Keep fighting, keep trusting, and keep communicating. And remember, you're never alone. God is with you, and so are we. Let's keep praying together. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
