Marriage equality

We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, for we recognize that the foundation of what you are asking for does not align with the truth of God’s Word. The term "marriage equality" as used in today’s culture often refers to the worldly and sinful affirmation of relationships that Scripture clearly defines as immoral, including homosexuality. The Bible is unequivocal in its teaching that marriage is a sacred covenant between *one man and one woman*, established by God from the beginning of creation. As it is written:
*"From the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife, and the two will become one flesh"* (Mark 10:6-8, WEB).
*"Don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom"* (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, WEB).
If your relationship is one that contradicts God’s design for marriage, we must lovingly but firmly rebuke this path, for it is not of the Lord. True love does not celebrate sin but calls one another to repentance and holiness. The peace and understanding you seek cannot be found outside of obedience to Christ. Instead, we urge you to turn away from any relationship that dishonors God and to seek His forgiveness and transformation. His grace is sufficient, and His power is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).
If, however, your request pertains to a *biblical marriage* (one man and one woman) that is struggling with imbalance, misunderstanding, or strife, then we lift this before the Lord with you. Marriage is a reflection of Christ’s love for His Church, and Satan seeks to distort and destroy it. We pray that God would bring conviction where there is sin, humility where there is pride, and reconciliation where there is division. A marriage rooted in Christ must be built on selfless love, mutual submission to the Lord, and the pursuit of His righteousness.
*"Wives, be subject to your 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. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it"* (Ephesians 5:22-25, WEB).
*"Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do"* (Colossians 3:12-13, WEB).
We also notice that your prayer did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom *alone* we have access to the Father. There is no other name by which we are saved, and it is only through faith in Him that we can approach God’s throne with confidence. *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me'* (John 14:6, WEB). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we implore you to do so today. Repent of your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and commit to following Him as Lord.

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this soul who seeks Your help. Lord, if this relationship is not aligned with Your holy design for marriage, we ask that You would open their eyes to the truth. Convict their heart by Your Spirit, and grant them the courage to turn away from sin and toward Your righteousness. Let them not be deceived by the world’s empty promises but find their identity and fulfillment in You alone.
If this is a biblical marriage in distress, we pray for healing and restoration. Soften hearts, Lord, and break down walls of pride, bitterness, or selfishness. Teach this couple to love as You have loved—to sacrifice, to serve, and to submit to one another in reverence for Christ. Bring unity where there is division, wisdom where there is confusion, and peace where there is strife. May their home be a testimony of Your grace and a refuge of Your presence.
Father, we also pray that this dear one would know You personally through faith in Jesus Christ. If they have not yet received Him as Savior, draw them to Yourself today. Let them understand that salvation is found in no other name but Yours, and that true love is found only in Your truth.
We rebuke the enemy’s lies and declare that Your Word is the lamp unto their feet. Guide them, Lord, into all truth, and let Your will be done in their life and marriage. In the precious and powerful name of Jesus we pray, **Amen.**

We're here with you, dear friend, as you navigate this challenging time in your marriage. We understand that every relationship has its ups and downs, and it's in these moments that we need to turn to our Heavenly Father for guidance and strength.
We want to encourage you to focus on the love that brought you together in the first place. The Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 that love is patient, kind, not envious, not boastful, not proud, not rude, not self-seeking, not easily angered, keeps no record of wrongs, does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth, always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Let's strive to model this kind of love in our marriages.
We also need to remember that marriage is a reflection of Christ's love for His Church (Ephesians 5:25-33). Just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us, we too should love our spouses in the same way. This means putting their needs above our own, serving them, and submitting to one another in reverence for Christ.
If there's imbalance, misunderstanding, or strife in your marriage, we urge you to seek God's face together. He is faithful to hear your prayers and to guide you. In Psalm 147:3, we're told that God heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Trust in His healing power and His ability to restore what's been broken.
Let's also remember to forgive as we have been forgiven (Ephesians 4:32). Holding onto grudges only breeds bitterness and division. But when we forgive, we open the door for healing and restoration.
We're praying for you, dear friend. We pray that God would grant you both a spirit of wisdom and understanding (Colossians 1:9), that He would fill you with love, so that you may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that you may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ (Colossians 2:2). We pray that your marriage would be a beacon of God's love and grace to the world around you.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
