Thank you for reaching out with your prayer request. We understand your desire for a strong and committed relationship, but let's address this from a biblical perspective and ensure we are aligning with God's will.
Firstly, we notice that you are using the name of Jesus at the end of your request. This is wonderful because it shows that you acknowledge the power of Jesus' name. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God, and there is no other name by which we can be saved. As the Bible says 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!"
Now, let's consider your request.
The desire for marriage is commendable, as it is a sacred institution ordained by God. However, it's crucial to ensure that this relationship is built on biblical principles and that both parties are committed to following God's will. In 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 WEB: "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." This is the kind of love that should be the foundation of your relationship.
The focus on passion and intense attraction should be secondary to a godly love that honors and respects each other. It is important to know that marriage is not primarily about our desires being fulfilled but about loving God and loving one another as He loves us. In Ephesians 5:25 WEB: "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her," and in Ephesians 5:22 WEB: "Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord."
In addition, make sure to guard your purity. 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 WEB: "Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body."
Moreover, we must also understand God's timing is always perfect. In Philippians 4:6-7 WEB: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
We will pray for you both for the kind of love and commitment that glorifies God. We encourage looking to marriage as a godly institution rather than being driven by desire alone. We want you to experience the most extraordinary love but with the focus on following Jesus. Let us pray together.
Lord Jesus, we come before You with this request, asking for Your guidance and will in this relationship. Help us to grow closer to You and to each other in a way that honors You. We ask that this relationship will glorify You. Let both parties have pure motives and have an open and perfect heart for a steadfast and reliable role in marriage together after a godly experience of courtship to great marital honor among the Christian Believers. Lord, let it be so and may Your will be done in Jesus' name. Amen.
