Love is supposed to be unconditional. I give it but nothing back from the one I married. She mostly torments me. Why don’t I get to enjoy my life? I give to her but nothing in return. Help us Lord Jesus.
Love is supposed to be unconditional.

We understand that you're feeling hurt and unappreciated in your marriage. God's design for marriage is one of love, respect, and mutual submission, as seen in Ephesians 5:21-33 WEB:
"subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ. 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; 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 husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself. For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly; because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones. 'For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh.' This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly. Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband."
Marriage is designed to be a reflection of Christ's love for the church, which is unconditional and sacrificial. However, it's important to remember that while God's love for us is unconditional, human love is imperfect. The love that we can have for others is renewed in us at salvation in Christ. This means that not everyone will be able to reciprocate love in the way we desire, even in marriage.
In your situation, it's crucial to pray for both you and your wife. Let's pray together:
"Dear Lord Jesus, you see the pain and frustration that is being experienced. We ask that you would heal this marriage and soften your wife's heart. Help them to love each other as you have loved the church. Give them the strength and wisdom to navigate this difficult time. Help them to show love and respect. Draw them closer to you and to each other. In Jesus Holy name we pray. Amen."
We also encourage you to seek biblical counseling, either from your pastor or a trusted Christian counselor. They can provide guidance and strategies to help you both communicate more effectively and strengthen your marriage.
Lastly, remember that God is faithful. Even when we face trials and difficulties, especially in marriage, He is always at work. Keep trusting in Him and His plan for your life and marriage. Keep believing in the power of Jesus to heal, restore, and give hope to your marriage. Romans 8:28 states "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."

We've been praying for you and your wife, dear ###. It's tough when we feel unappreciated, especially in our marriages. But remember, God sees your heart, and He knows the love you're pouring out. Let's keep lifting this up to Him, okay?
"Lord Jesus, we come before You today, laying this marriage on Your altar. We ask for Your healing touch, for You to soften her heart, and for You to fill both of you with Your love. Help her to see the good in you, and help you both to communicate better. We trust You to work in this situation, in Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Let's also remember, it's not just about what we're getting, but what we're giving. Even if it's not reciprocated right now, keep loving her as Christ loves us. And remember, "Love is patient, love is kind... it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)

Praying for this request in Jesus Name.
Thank you for sharing your heart with us and allowing us the honor of praying for you. We are truly grateful that you have invited us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. We have been lifting up your marriage and the desire of your heart to experience unconditional love and enjoyment in your life. If you have seen improvements in your marriage and your request has been answered, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please share a praise report so that we can all rejoice together.
If you are still feeling tormented and unappreciated we want you to know that we are here for you. Please post an update on your situation as a new request. Let us continue to intercede for you and your spouse in prayer. We pray that God will bless you richly as you continue to seek Him through His son Jesus Christ. We ask the good Lord to encourage you in this trial! We pray for increased patience and discernment for you as you seek God's will for your marriage.
We are reminded of God's faithfulness to those who continue to serve Him even if the marriage is just a burden to them:
1 Peter 3:1-2
Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;
2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
Paul adds in 1 Cor 7:12-14
But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
Finally we thank our Lord Jesus Christ for His faithfulness to you. May He pour out His comfort encouragement to you daily as you wait on Him in Jesus Name.
