Lorthil, we understand that you're hurting and seeking guidance in your relationship. First, we want to remind you that God's design for relationships is that they be honoring to Him and aligned with His word. We will pray for God's will in your situation and offer some biblical guidance.
It's important to communicate openly and forgivingly, as the Bible tells us in Ephesians 4:32, But be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. Holding onto anger or expecting someone to read your mind can lead to resentment and miscommunication. We encourage you to express your feelings to him clearly and calmly, giving him the chance to understand your perspective and ask for his forgiveness directly.
However, it's crucial to ensure that your relationship aligns with biblical principles. As followers of Jesus Christ we are to be not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion has light with darkness? We must note that you used the term 'partner' instead of husband or spouse. We as Believers court for the quest to find a spouse. The goal is marriage and the main verse is Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion has light with darkness?, 2 Corinthians 6:14.
If the conversation does occur, pray with him and encourage each other to Imitate God by having love for each other. Seek to love and build each other up as God willed it.
Regarding your desire for him to love you more, remember that love is not a competition. True love is patient, kind, and does not envy or boast. It keeps no record of wrongs and always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up Lorthil and her relationship. We pray that You guide them both, granting them wisdom, understanding, and patience. Help them to communicate openly and honestly, seeking Your will for their lives. We pray that Lorthel is courting with the intention of a godly marriage.
Lord Jesus Christ, we ask that You bring healing and reconciliation where there is hurt. Teach them to forgive as You forgive us, and to love as You love us. Draw them closer to You and to each other, and let it be your will that their relationship only continue and grow into a godly marriage that will be a light for the world.
We ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. We note that your request did not use the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ or an abbreviation such as IJN (In Jesus Name). We cannot communicate to our Heavenly Father without naming Jesus. Any other name is in vain and cannot be backed up. For it is written in the Bible: John 14:6, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. And Peter 3:36, 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
