We are deeply concerned about the situation you're facing, Khugowe. The behavior you've described—cursing, yelling, spitting, and taking the Lord's name in vain—is not only hurtful but also goes against biblical principles. We are reminded in Ephesians 4:29, "Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear."
Firstly, we must address the use of the Lord's name in vain. It is a serious offense, as stated in Exodus 20:7, "You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain, for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain." We encourage you to lovingly remind your wife of this commandment and the importance of respecting God's name.
Secondly, the constant abuse and disrespect are not acceptable. In Ephesians 5:33, it is written, "Nevertheless, let each one of you also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband." Marriage is a sacred union that should be built on love and mutual respect.
Moreover, making fun of your disabled, autistic family members is cruel and unkind. As it is written in Proverbs 17:5, "Whoever mocks the poor reproaches his Maker; and he who is glad at calamity shall not be unpunished." We should always strive to be kind and compassionate to everyone, especially those who are vulnerable.
We understand that you are exhausted, and we want to encourage you to seek God's strength and wisdom in this challenging time. In Matthew 11:28-29, Jesus says, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up Khugowe and his wife. Lord, we ask for Your intervention in their marriage. Please bring an end to the hurtful words and actions, and help them to communicate with love and respect. We pray for healing and restoration in their relationship. We also ask for Your protection and comfort for Khugowe's family members who have been mocked. Lord, guide Khugowe and his wife to seek the help they need, and give them the strength to face these challenges. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We strongly advise you to seek professional help, both from a mental health perspective and through Christian counseling. Lastly, ensure that you and your wife are surrounded by a strong support system, such as your church community, to help you both through this difficult time.
