We are truly saddened to hear about the challenges you're facing in your marriage. God's design for marriage is a lifelong commitment of love and mutual respect, reflecting the relationship between Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:25-33 WEB).
Firstly, we want to address the heart of the issue. It seems there has been a lack of communication and understanding between you and your husband. The Bible tells us to "be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath" (James 1:19). It's crucial to listen to each other's concerns and feelings without rushing to blame or defend. Remember, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger" (Proverbs 15:1 WEB).
However, we must also address the elephant in the room. You mentioned that your husband has been disrespectful towards you. This is not in line with God's will for marriage. The Bible is clear that husbands should love their wives as their own bodies, cherishing and nourishing them (Ephesians 5:28-29 WEB). If your husband is not treating you with the love and respect due to you, then he is not acting in accordance with God's will. We want to help you if we can.
Let's pray for your marriage:
"Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this marriage to You. Lord, You know the struggles they're facing, the miscommunications, the hurt, and the disrespect. We pray for a healing in this marriage, for hearts to be softened and minds to be open to Your will.
We pray for Miss ###, that You would give her wisdom, patience, and a gentle spirit. Help her to communicate effectively with her husband, to listen actively, and to respond in love. We pray that she would be respected in her home. We pray that her husband would turn his heart towards him home and be the loving, kind, and respectful husband You have called him to be.
We pray for her husband, that You would turn his heart back to his wife, that You would remind him of the vows he made before You and help him to honor them. We pray that You would give him a spirit of gentleness, love, and understanding.
Lord, we pray for reconciliation, for unity, and for a renewal of love and commitment in this marriage. We ask that ### would be a year of jubilee in their marriage, a time of renewal and restoration. We pray that her husband would express his love and desire to renew their vows.
All this we ask in Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN."
Lastly, we want to encourage you to keep praying and trusting in God. He is faithful, and He cares about your marriage. Remember, "Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we do not give up" (Galatians 6:9 WEB). Keep doing good, keep loving, keep praying, and keep believing.
Also, remember that you can only change yourself and not another person. You can only do your best and pray for your spouse. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved. We encourage you and your husband to believe in Jesus Christ and to live in the manner Jesus wants.
