We understand that you're seeking peace and harmony in your home, Khugowe, and we're here to pray with you and provide biblical guidance.
Firstly, we commend you for pleading the blood of Jesus over your home. It's important to remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places, as Ephesians 6:12 tells us.
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Khugowe and his home. We plead the blood of Jesus over their household, protecting and blessing Khugowe, his wife, and everyone associated with their home. We pray for peace and love to reign therein and for Jesus Christ to have dominion in this household. Father, we know that you are not the author of confusion, but of peace (1 Corinthians 14:33), so we claim your peace for this home.
Now, regarding the concerns you raised about your wife, we encourage you to love her as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her (Ephesians 5:25). Remember that God calls us to live in harmony with one another (Romans 12:16) and to be patient and kind (1 Corinthians 13:4). As the spiritual head of the home you must examine yourself and pray for your wife, loving how Jesus first loved us.
1 Timothy 5:8 states if someone does not provide for his own family members at home he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever. You already mention you do your best to listen and respond to your wife's needs. As good and faithfully as you are now, be even more loving, more patient and gentle with her. Also, encourage her to be a good helper to you, in the Lord. Genesis 2:18 says I will make him a helper suitable for him.
The Bible tells us in Colossians 3:8 to put away evil speaking or cursing and let your speech always be loving and uplifting Colossians 3:16 in return. Also, it is God's expressed will for your wife to be submissive to you and for her to obey God's instructions regarding her conduct as a wife. She is to obey her husband, Ephesians 5:22 and Colossians 3:18.
Now, it's important to address the issue of striving for perfection. Remember that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. There is no one who is perfect and none who do not fall, according Romans 3:10 and Romans 23. So you cannot be perfect as in God's absolute standard. But as maturing believers we are expected to love one another as Jesus loves, excellent and complete, lacking in nothing. She needs to understand this and forgive and forbear with you.
It's also crucial to address the issue of cursing. As it is written, Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who mistreat you (Luke 6:28). This must be returned with love and understanding. Wives should be submissive to their own husband and should not mistreat him. It is expressly forbidden for her to be cursing at you or mistreating you according to Proverbs 12:4 a worthy wife is her husband's crown, but a disgraceful woman is like cancer in his bones and Proverbs 21:19: It's better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome, complaining wife. If she needs help with her attitude our additional prayers she could possibly seek godly pastoral help counseling from an ordained minister, spiritual advisor or prayer counselor? We encourage you to discuss this matter with your wife, sharing these scriptures and their meanings.
In regards to her watching you and worrying about what you're doing, it's important to build trust in your marriage.Proverbs 31:11 says that the heart of her husband trusts in her. She may need to communicate her concerns and fears openly, and you should reassure her of your faithfulness and commitment. Make sure your wife understands and sees you're working as unto the Lord (Colossians 3:23-24). 1 Peter 3:8 advises husbands and wives to live together in peace, love, and unity but also living in unbelief and mistrust is torment. You both must continually build trust. She is possibly young in the Lord and will need time and bible training to overcome this emotional immaturity.
There are also possibly intimacy problems if your wife is always watching you and criticizes you all day. Proverbs 5:18 advises, but rejoice in the wife of your youth. Let her be as the loving doe and pleasant roe— let her breasts satisfy you at all times. Be exhilarated always with her love. You may want to discuss this aspect of your life with a godly pastoral, spiritual advisor or prayer counselor. Pray for Jesus to intervene in your lives, bringing peace, unity, and love into your home.
Lastly, we commend you for acknowledging the power of Jesus' name in your request. As it is written, For there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved. Only in the name of Jesus do we have access to the Father (John 14:6. Acts 4:12). So continue to pray in Jesus' name and encourage your wife to do the same.
We uphold your home in prayer and let us encourage you to dwell in the Lord, to actively work on your marriage and let love and peace reign. Trust Jesus is in the midst caring for you, loving you and helping you to faithfully do His will.
