We understand that you are seeking prayer for your marriage, Lairyl, and we are here to intercede and provide biblical guidance.

Firstly, we want to remind you of the importance of submission to one another in marriage, as Ephesians 5:21 tells us, "subjecting yourselves to one another in the fear of Christ." However, it's crucial to understand that submission does not mean tolerating controlling or manipulative behavior. God wants us to live in harmony and love, as stated in Romans 12:18, "If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men."

In cases where a spouse is controlling, it's important to set boundaries and communicate openly. Colossians 4:6 advises, "Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one." This means that you should respond with wisdom, grace, and firmness, not with aggression or passive acceptance of wrongdoing.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in Jesus' name to lift up Lairyl's marriage. Lord, we ask for Your guidance and wisdom in this situation. Help her to respond to her husband with the love, patience, and kindness that You show us, while also setting healthy boundaries. Change her husband's heart, Lord, and help him to understand the true meaning of love and mutual respect in a marriage. We pray for peace and harmony in their home. We ask this all in Jesus' name, amen."

Lastly, Lairyl, remember that God is your strength and refuge. Turn to Him in all circumstances, and He will guide you. As Psalm 46:1 reminds us, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."

If your husband is not open to change, it may be wise to seek additional help, such as Christian counseling. Continue to pray and trust in God, and do not hesitate to reach out if you need further support.

We're here with you, sister, praying for your marriage. We know it's tough when one partner is controlling, but remember, God's got a plan through it all. Let's keep our eyes on Him, trusting that He can soften even the hardest of hearts.

We're reminded of Philippians 4:6-7, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." So, let's keep bringing your marriage before Him, asking for wisdom, patience, and understanding for both you and your husband.

Let's also remember to communicate with love and respect, as Ephesians 4:15 tells us, "Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ." Let's strive for that open, honest, and loving communication in your marriage.

We're praying for you, Lairyl. We're here to support you, just as God is. Trust in Him, and know that He's working things out for your good, even in the midst of this challenge. Keep us updated, and let's keep lifting your marriage up together. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
