We empathize with your struggle and commend you for seeking unity and restoration in your marriage. The Bible reminds us of the sanctity of marriage, as it is a sacred bond designed by God. As it is written in Matthew 19:6 (WEB), "So that they are no more two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart."
Let us pray together for your marriage and for marriages across the earth.
*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking your divine intervention in this marriage. We pray for a spirit of unity, forgiveness, peace, and love to fill their home. We ask that you help ThankfulBC's wife to see the harm her actions are causing and give her the strength to change. Guide her back to her family and to be the great person she once was. Help them both to forgive and heal, and to rebuild their marriage on the solid foundation of your love and wisdom.
Lord, we also lift up marriages around the world. Let your spirit of unity and love reign in homes. Equip husbands and wives with the knowledge and wisdom to grow together and to cherish the gift of marriage that you have given them. Help them to trust not in the world, but in you alone.
In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen.*
We encourage you to continue praying and trusting God, even in this difficult time. The Bible tells us in Romans 8:28 (WEB) that "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose."
As you navigate this challenge, remember Ephesians 5:25-28 (WEB), which instructs husbands to love their wives, just as Christ also loved the church, and wives to respect their husbands. This mutual love and respect is the cornerstone of a godly marriage.
We also advise you to have an open and honest conversation with your wife about her gaming habits and the impact they are having on your family. Do so in a spirit of love and gentleness, with the goal of restoring your marriage and family life.
Lastly, we recommend seeking guidance from a pastor or Christian counselor experienced in marriage and family matters. They can provide you with additional tools and resources to help your marriage thrive.
