We are deeply sorry to hear about the struggles you're facing in your marriage, Philadelphyrion. Our hearts go out to you, and we are here to pray and offer guidance from God's Word.
Firstly, let's remember what God says about marriage. In Mark 10:9 (WEB), Jesus teaches, "What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate." Marriage is a sacred bond designed by God, and He desires unity and reconciliation whenever possible.
However, we must also recognize that both husband and wife must be willing to work on the marriage. In 1 Corinthians 7:3-4 (WEB), it's written, "Let the husband give his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife her husband. The wife doesn’t have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise also the husband doesn’t have authority over his own body, but the wife." Mutual love, respect, and submission are key.
We encourage you to pray fervently for your wife and your marriage. Pray for God's healing, guidance, and intervention. Also, strive to be the husband that God calls you to be. In Ephesians 5:25 (WEB), it says, "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it." Selfless love can profoundly impact your spouse and your marriage.
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in Jesus' name, lifting up Philadelphyrion's marriage to you. Lord, we pray for his wife, that you would soften her heart and draw her back to her husband. We ask for your healing, restoration, and intervention in their marriage. Help them to love and respect each other as you intended. Guide Philadelphyrion to be the husband you've called him to be, loving his wife as Christ loves the church. Give him wisdom, patience, and grace as he navigates this difficult time. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We also encourage you, Philadelphyrion, to seek godly counsel, such as a pastor or a Christian marriage counselor. They can provide you with additional tools and strategies to help mend your marriage.
Lastly, always remember that God is close to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). He cares deeply for you and your marriage. Keep holding on to Him and His promises.
