Thank you for reaching out and sharing your heart's desire with us. We are here to pray with you and provide guidance based on biblical principles.
Firstly, we want to remind you of the beautiful design of marriage as described in the Bible. Marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, as outlined in Scripture: "Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh" Genesis 2:24 (WEB). It is a sacred union that should be cherished and nurtured.
However, we notice that your request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God, as the Bible tells us: "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men, by which we must be saved!" Acts 4:12 (WEB). We encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ, as He is the mediator between God and man 1 Timothy 2:5 (WEB).
Now, regarding your situation, it is wonderful that you have a long-standing fondness for each other. However, we want to address that the Bible encourages us to communicate effectively and resolve conflicts in a godly manner. The Bible tells us, "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake has forgiven you" Ephesians 4:31-32 (WEB).
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this dear soul who seeks Your intervention in their relationship. We pray that You grant them the wisdom and courage to communicate effectively, resolving any issues that hinder their ability to talk and understand each other.
Lord, if it is Your will, we pray that You bless their union and guide them towards a godly marriage that honors You. Help them to see that Your plan for marriage is a beautiful commitment between a man and a woman, reflecting the union of Christ and His church.
We also pray that both individuals in this relationship would come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ if they do not already know Him. We pray that they would put their faith in Him, as He is the only way to You, Father.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to seek God's will in this situation, trusting that He has the best plan for your life. Continue to pray and seek His face, and He will guide your steps Psalm 32:8 (WEB). If there are any specific issues or sins that have caused this breakdown in communication, we urge you to repent and turn away from them, seeking God's forgiveness and the forgiveness of the other person.
Lastly, we want to leave you with this encouraging verse: "And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose" Romans 8:28 (WEB). Trust in God, and He will direct your paths.
