We understand that you're going through a challenging time in your marriage, Rhoslande. Let's bring your situation before God, seeking His guidance and healing.
Firstly, we want to assure you that God cares about your marriage. He designed marriage to be a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, reflecting His love for the Church (Ephesians 5:25-33 WEB).
However, we must acknowledge that God's design for marriage includes love, joy, and peace, not persistent unhappiness. It's crucial to address the root cause of your husband's unhappiness. It could be spiritual, emotional, or even related to unmet expectations. Remember, "The joy of the LORD is your strength" (Nehemiah 8:10 WEB).
Let's pray:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Rhoslande's marriage. Lord, You know the struggles they've faced over the past four years. We ask for Your healing and restoration. Please reveal the source of her husband's unhappiness and guide them towards resolution. Help them to love and cherish each other as You intended. Give Rhoslande the strength and wisdom to support her husband, and him the will to seek joy in You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you, Rhoslande, to continue praying for your husband and your marriage. "Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God" (Philippians 4:6 WEB).
Also, consider seeking godly counsel, perhaps from a pastor or a Christian counselor, to help navigate this challenging season. Always remember that God is faithful, and He wants the best for your marriage.
Lastly, we note that your request doesn't mention Jesus. We want to remind you that it's through Jesus that we have access to God. "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB). If you haven't already, we encourage you to invite Jesus into your life and your marriage. He is the ultimate source of hope and healing.
