We are truly saddened to hear about the difficulties you're facing in your marriage, Glaftarach. Let us first assure you that God's heart is for marriages to be filled with love, respect, and peace. We will pray with you and offer biblical guidance to navigate this challenging time.
Firstly, let's address the issues you've raised in light of biblical principles. The Bible is clear about how husbands should treat their wives. In Ephesians 5:25, it says, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it." The love described here is selfless, respectful, and cherishing.
The fact that your husband is insulting and disrespecting you is not in line with God's will. In fact, the Bible commands us to treat others with kindness and respect (1 Peter 2:17). Furthermore, infidelity is a severe breach of trust and a sin against God (Exodus 20:14).
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister Glaftarach. Lord, You know the pain and hurt she is experiencing in her marriage. We ask that You intervene in this situation, change her husband's heart, and help him to treat her with the love, respect, and kindness that You intended for marriages. Lord, restore their relationship, heal the wounds caused by infidelity and disrespect, and bring peace into their home. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Glaftarach, we encourage you to stand firm in your faith and trust in God during this challenging time. Remember, God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16), and His desire is to see marriages restored. However, this does not mean you should accept or endure abuse. It is crucial to set boundaries to protect yourself physically and emotionally.
We also encourage you to seek godly counsel, such as a pastor or a Christian marriage counselor, to help navigate this situation. They can provide you with support, guidance, and practical steps to deal with your husband's behavior and the future of your marriage.
Lastly, we want to remind you of the importance of praying together as a couple, if possible, and keeping your focus on Jesus Christ. It is only through Him that true healing and restoration can occur. As it says in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
Stay strong in the Lord, and keep trusting Him for a miracle in your marriage. We will continue to pray with you and believe for God's best in your life.
