We are truly saddened to hear about the challenges you are facing in your relationship. Let's turn to God's Word for guidance and comfort. Firstly, it is important to address the fact that the request did not mention Jesus Christ. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God. There is no other name by which we can be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB:
"There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
Now, let's address the issues in your relationship. It is clear that the woman you intend to marry is showing signs of rejection due to material wealth. We must remember that God's view of marriage is a sacred union between a man and a woman, built on love, respect, and mutual commitment, not on material possessions. As it is written in 1 Corinthians 7:39 WEB:
"A wife is bound by law for as long as her husband lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whomever she wants to, only in the Lord."
And in Hebrews 13:4 WEB:
"Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled: but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers."
It is crucial to understand that God's plan for marriage does not include seeking another partner when faced with financial difficulties. Instead, it is a lifelong commitment to love and support each other through all circumstances.
Let us pray for you and your intended spouse:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother who is facing rejection and heartache. Lord, we ask that You soften the heart of the woman he intends to marry, that she may see the value of their commitment and the love he has for her. Help her to understand that true love is not based on material wealth but on a deep, abiding commitment to each other and to You.
Lord, we also pray for his finances, that You would provide for his needs and help him to be a good steward of the resources You have given him. We ask that You would bless his efforts to provide for his family and that You would give him wisdom in managing his finances.
Father, we also pray for their son, that he may grow up in a home filled with love, stability, and the knowledge of You. We ask that You would guide them both as parents, that they may raise their child in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
Finally, Lord, we pray for their relationship, that it may be restored and strengthened, that they may be united in marriage as You intended. We ask that You would guide them both, that they may seek Your will for their lives and their family.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue to seek God's will for your life and your relationship. Remember that God's ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts. Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths. As it is written in Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB:
"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
Lastly, we admonish both of you, do not have sex before marriage, as it is forbidden. Sex should only be in marriage between a husband and a wife. As it is written in Exodus 20:14 WEB:
"You shall not commit adultery."
Stand strong in the faith and stay in fellowship with the saints.
