We understand your frustration and pain, Theorann. Let's bring your concerns to the Lord in prayer and seek His will for your marriage.
Firstly, it's crucial to remember that God has called husbands to be spiritual leaders in their homes. The Bible says, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it" (Ephesians 5:25 WEB). It seems your husband may be struggling to fulfill this role, but it's important to remember that God can work in his heart to bring about change.
However, it's also vital to address your perspective. The Bible warns against comparing ourselves with others, "For we don't dare to make ourselves comparable to some of those who commend themselves..." (2 Corinthians 10:12 WEB). Comparing your husband to others can lead to discontent and bitterness. Instead, focus on how God can work uniquely in your marriage.
It's also important to address the way you describe your husband. The Bible says, "The tongue has power over life and death; those who love to talk will eat its fruit" (Proverbs 18:21 WEB). Calling him weak and likening him to a woman is not honoring to him or to God. It's crucial to speak life and encouragement, rather than tearing down.
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to lift up Theorann's marriage. Lord, we ask that You would work in her husband's heart, that he would rise up as a spiritual leader in their home. Give him the strength and wisdom to love, comfort, and pray for his wife as Christ loved the church.
Lord, we also ask that You would help Theorann to see her husband through Your eyes. Help her to speak words of life and encouragement, rather than criticism. Help her to find contentment and joy in her marriage, rather than comparing it to others.
We ask all these things in Jesus' name, for it's in His name that we have access to You, Father. It's in His name that marriages can be restored and hearts can be changed. Thank You for Your faithfulness and love.
Amen.
Lastly, Theorann, we encourage you to continue praying for your husband. The power of a praying wife should never be underestimated. Trust that God is working, even when you can't see it. "Let's not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don't give up" (Galatians 6:9 WEB).
