I need love for my ###

We understand your deep longing for love and affection from your husband, and we want you to know that God sees your heart and cares deeply for your marriage. The Lord designed marriage to be a reflection of Christ’s love for His Church—a bond of selfless devotion, respect, and cherished companionship. Yet we also know that marriages can go through seasons of struggle, distance, or even neglect, and in those times, we must turn to the Lord for wisdom, strength, and restoration.

First, we want to encourage you to examine your own heart and your role in the marriage. Scripture tells us in **Ephesians 5:22-24 (WEB)**, *"Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body. But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their husbands in everything."* This does not mean blind submission, but rather a heart posture of respect and honor toward your husband, just as the Church submits to Christ. Similarly, **Ephesians 5:33 (WEB)** says, *"Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband."* Respect is a powerful force in a marriage, and often, when a wife shows genuine respect, it softens a husband’s heart and opens the door for love to be rekindled.

At the same time, we must acknowledge that your husband has a biblical responsibility to love you as Christ loves the Church. **Ephesians 5:25 (WEB)** commands, *"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for it."* If your husband is withholding love, affection, or emotional connection, this is not aligning with God’s design for marriage. It may be that he is struggling with his own wounds, distractions, or sin that is hindering his ability to love you well. In such cases, prayer is your most powerful tool.

Before we pray, we must also ask: Have you spoken to your husband about your feelings in a gentle, non-accusatory way? **James 1:19 (WEB)** reminds us, *"Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger."* Sometimes, open and honest communication—bathed in prayer—can break down walls. If he is unwilling to listen or change, then we must trust the Lord to work in his heart, while you continue to walk in obedience and faith.

Now, let us pray together for you and your marriage:

---
Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious sister to You, knowing that You see her heartache and her deep longing for love within her marriage. Lord, You are the God who binds up the brokenhearted and restores what has been lost. We ask that You would soften her husband’s heart toward her, that You would stir within him a godly, selfless love—the kind of love that reflects Your own love for us. Remove any hardness, distraction, or sin that may be hindering him from loving her as You have commanded.

Father, we also pray for our sister. Give her the strength to walk in wisdom, respect, and grace, even when it is difficult. Help her to trust You fully, knowing that You are her ultimate Provider and Comforter. If there are areas in her own heart that need surrender or healing, Lord, reveal them to her and grant her the courage to seek You first.

We rebuke any spirit of division, apathy, or bitterness that may be at work in this marriage. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we command those spirits to flee in the name of Jesus Christ. Let Your peace, unity, and love reign in this home. Restore what has been broken, Lord, and let this marriage be a testimony of Your redeeming power.

If there is unforgiveness, resentment, or past hurts between them, we ask that You would bring healing and reconciliation. Teach them both to forgive as You have forgiven us. And if there is any sin—whether in thought, word, or deed—that is blocking Your blessings, convict them and lead them to repentance.

Finally, Father, we ask that You would surround this sister with godly counsel and support. If she needs to seek wise, biblical guidance from a pastor or counselor, provide the right person to walk alongside her. Let her not grow weary in doing good, but trust that You are working all things together for her good and Your glory.

We pray all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Sister, we want to encourage you to keep seeking the Lord daily. Spend time in His Word, especially in passages about marriage like **Ephesians 5, Colossians 3:18-19, and 1 Peter 3:1-7**. Fast and pray for your husband’s heart to turn toward you and toward the Lord. And remember, even if you do not see immediate change, God is at work. **Galatians 6:9 (WEB)** says, *"Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season if we don’t give up."*

If your husband is unwilling to change or if there is unrepentant sin in the marriage, we urge you to seek godly counsel from a pastor or biblical counselor. You are not alone in this, and the Lord has not forgotten you. Keep trusting Him, and He will guide you every step of the way.

Lastly, we noticed that your prayer did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name by which we are saved. **John 14:6 (WEB)** declares, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"* And **Acts 4:12 (WEB)** says, *"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!"* We encourage you to always pray in the name of Jesus, for He is our Mediator and our Hope. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so today, for He alone can bring true peace, love, and restoration to your heart and home.
 
We're here with you, sister, feeling your heart's longing for love and affection from your husband. We know that God sees your heart and He cares deeply about your marriage. Let's lift our hearts together to Him.

First, let's remember that God designed marriage to be a reflection of Christ's love for the Church. It's a bond of selfless devotion, respect, and cherished companionship. But we also know that marriages can face struggles, and in those times, we must turn to the Lord for wisdom, strength, and restoration.

Now, let's take a moment to examine our own hearts and our role in the marriage. Ephesians 5:22-24 tells us, "Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, being himself the savior of the body. But as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their husbands in everything."

This doesn't mean blind submission, but rather a heart posture of respect and honor toward your husband, just as the Church submits to Christ. Similarly, Ephesians 5:33 says, "Nevertheless, each of you must also love his own wife even as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband."

Respect is a powerful force in a marriage. When a wife shows genuine respect, it often softens a husband's heart and opens the door for love to be rekindled.

At the same time, we must acknowledge that your husband has a biblical responsibility to love you as Christ loves the Church. Ephesians 5:25 commands, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for it." If your husband is withholding love, affection, or emotional connection, this is not aligning with God's design for marriage.
