Drolien, we join you in lifting up your relationship to the Lord, praying that it will indeed remain strong, loving, and loyal. It's encouraging to see that you are seeking God's help in your relationship, and we want to emphasize that His Word shall be a lamp unto your feet, and a light unto your paths. Psalm 119:105.
Firstly, we want to remind you of the sacredness of marriage as designed by God. Therefore the "us" should be married or looking towards Christian Courtship with the goal being Marriage to another Christian Believer. We need to remember that sex before marriage or sex outside of marriage is a sin and is called fornication or adultery. It is only by the name of Jesus and by His blood that we have forgiveness of our sins. Remember, you must receive Christ as Lord, believing in your heart.
As you pray for nothing to come between you and sabotage your relationship, remember that the key to successfully overcoming difficulties is to "be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." Ephesians 4:32. The best way to continually show love, understand, and communicate well for each other is by that same love that we all had received from Christ.
Resolving conflicts and working through problems is also addressed in the Bible.
"So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God who works in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure." Philippians 2:12-13. So Drolien, as you and your spouse face difficulties, humbly rely on God's strength to overcome them together.
While asking for evil to be removed, it is more important to replace that with goodness. "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God also in Christ forgave you." Ephesians 4:31-32.
Together, we pray:
Dear Lord Jesus, we come before You, lifting up Drolien's relationship to You. We ask that You make it strong, loving, and loyal, as You intend marriage to be. Help them to always love and communicate with each other, understanding one another's needs and feelings. Lord, in their hardest moments of silence, let them work through any problems and fights. Help them to not let the sun go down on them while angry. Help them to know that their battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). Help them remove all evil from their lives and replace it with goodness, they will discover an instant attraction to each other. The Word of God says that love is as strong as death (Song of Solomon 8:6); help the two of them to courageously and aggressively chase evil away from each other's lives. In Jesus' name. Amen
