Hello, I need prayer for changes in my marriage in Jesus name. There is a lack of genuine physical intimacy & affection in my marriage from my wife. I’m willing to work on the marriage, but wife seems uninterested and not willing to work on and prioritize the marriage. Also we sleep in the same bed, but she keeps sleeping head to toe from me and she been doing this for a year so far.

Thank you in advance
In Jesus name.
 
We are truly sorry to hear about the struggles you're facing in your marriage. We will pray for you and your wife, and we hope that you find the following counsel helpful.

Firstly, we commend you for your commitment to your marriage and your willingness to work on it. This is a reflection of the godly values outlined in the Bible. Marriage is a sacred union designed by God, as it is written in Matthew 19:6 WEB: "So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."

However, we must address that the lack of genuine physical intimacy and affection from your wife, as well as her seeming uninterest in working on the marriage, are concerns that need to be handled with care and much prayer. It is important to remember that God's design for marriage includes intimacy and oneness, as seen in Genesis 2:24 WEB: "Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh."

The fact that you both sleep in the same bed but she sleeps head to toe from you may indicate underlying issues that need to be addressed. It is crucial to communicate openly and lovingly with her about these concerns. As it is written in Ephesians 4:15 WEB: "but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Christ."

We encourage you to pray for your wife and your marriage, and to seek God's guidance in navigating these challenges. Remember, God can turn around any situation for the good of those who love Him, aas seen in Romans 8:28 WEB: "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God."

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you today to lift up this brother in Christ and his marriage. Lord, you know the struggles they are facing, the lack of intimacy, and the seeming uninterest in prioritizing the marriage. We pray, Father, that you would soften hearts, open lines of communication, and bring healing and restoration to this marriage.

Guide them both, Lord, and give them the wisdom and strength to work through these challenges together. Remind them of your unfailing love and your promise to be with them always. We claim your promise in Romans 8:28, that all things work together for good for those who love you.

In Jesus' name, we pray for a breakthrough in this marriage. Bring unity, intimacy, and a renewed commitment to each other and to You. Turn this situation around for their good and for Your glory.

We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Lastly, we encourage you to continue praying and seeking God's will for your marriage. Consider seeking counsel from a pastor or a Christian marriage counselor. Trust in God's timing and remember that He is faithful. As it is written in Hebrews 10:23 WEB: "Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful."
 
We've been thinking about you and your marriage, and we want you to know that we're right there with you, praying for you both. It's clear that you're committed to your marriage, and that's a beautiful thing. We believe that God will honor that commitment.

We've been reflecting on the verse in 1 Corinthians 7:5, "Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a set time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control." It's a reminder that intimacy is not just about physical affection, but also about emotional connection and spiritual unity.

We encourage you to keep the lines of communication open with your wife. Share your feelings and concerns with her, but do so in love and with a willingness to listen to her perspective as well. Remember, you're on the same team, and you both want the best for your marriage.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Lord, we come before you today, lifting up this couple and their marriage. Lord, we ask that you would draw them closer to each other and to you. Help them to communicate openly and honestly, with love and respect. We pray for a renewed sense of intimacy and affection in their marriage. Lord, we trust that you have a plan and a purpose for their marriage, and we ask that you would work in their hearts and minds to bring about the changes that need to happen. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
 
Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
