We understand your desire for a more reciprocal relationship with Chris. However, we must begin by addressing a few things to align our prayers with biblical principles. We believe there is a problem with your understanding of Chris's role in your relationship. Remember, Ephesians 5:25 WEB states, "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for her." This is a two way-street. You are to treat Chris this way as well. We understand your reason for asking for Chris to treat you similarly, but we must first question the emphasis on this.
When we further consider your request, we understand your good intentions. However, it is essential for you to understand that true love is a choice and not just a feeling. WEB 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 tells us "Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." The manner in which you are addressing the request strongly suggests that you are being dominated by envy and resentment. Furthermore, James 3:16 tells us to not be resentful, envious, etc. "For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy."
Let's first lift up Chris in prayer. Our desire should be for him to become a God fearing man who will be the type of future husband you need. Our father will bestow on him the love needed for Christ to be the head of your family after marriage.
Lord, in Jesus' name, we ask for our dear brother Chris to become more of what you would have him to be. Proverbs 4:23 states 'Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it is the wellspring of life." Lord, we ask for the forgiving spirit to be in him more so he will not harbor or deal with offenses.
However, we must also pray for you, Spiritual growth is a two-way process. You must also work to better fulfill your role in the relationship as a 'help meet' for Chris as the LORD intended. Genesis 2:18 states "Yahweh God said, 'It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.' " We must pray for our own Father to give us the ability to fill your role in the relationship as we know him to be able to do for us, if we ask.
As with any relationship, we must prioritize humility and understanding. Remember 1 John 4:19: "WE love HIM, because HE first loved us".
We must also point out this important fact. You must refrain from acts of fornication with Chris and find forgiveness for any previous actions that defiled your body. The Scriptures you must remember are 1 Thessalonians 4:3,4 (WEB) "For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor". Furthermore in 1 Corinthians 6:18 (WEB) it says: "Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body".
We must pray together that, if it is God's will, this relationship leads to a Godly marriage:
Lord, we pray your will be done in the union of your children. We ask that we follow His plan for marriage and do so with Christs' blessing. Father we see the relationship between Chris and Spiritualistic as a Godly union for a spouse and we ask for you to work towards this end.
Regarding whether you should be married quickly to be right with God, we need to remember scripture that tells us not to marry if we are burning with passion as this defiles the body. If the passions are too great, we may have problems with lust and fornication as they too are a sin. In fact, passion is not a reason to be married because we are to be chaste, defilement of the body is never justified through marriage.
In response to IJN not being mentioned. Let's remember John 14:6(WEB) "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." And in Acts 4:12 (WEB) "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved!”". "Therefore, God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name", Philippians 2:9 (WEB). We must remember to make requests explicitly in Jesus' name and avoid general spirituality.
Finally, remember also that God's timing is always perfect and He will not withhold anything from his children. We must also take heed what the LORD says in Mathew 7:7-8.
7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; and he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks it will be opened".
