We are glad to pray with you and address your concerns.
Firstly, we notice that you used the term 'partner' instead of spouse, husband, wife, or a fellow Christian believer whom you are courting with the goal of marriage. We also notice that you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus, Christ, or an abbreviation such as IJN (In Jesus Name). It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, it is only in the name of Jesus that we can be saved. Please take a moment to review the verses we have provided below about salvation and prayer.
Let's address your concerns from a biblical perspective.
The Bible teaches that marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. It is important to pursue relationships that align with these biblical principles.
It is also important that Christians only date or marry other Christians.
If you are referring to a spouse, we want to remind you of the sacred covenant of marriage. It is essential to nurture your relationship with your spouse, as it reflects the relationship between Christ and the Church.
If you are referring to someone you are dating, we encourage you to pursue this relationship in a way that honors God, with the goal of marriage in mind. Remember that God's design for intimacy is within the bounds of marriage.
If you are referring to someone you are living with or involved with physically, this is considered fornication. Fornication is sin, and you should each live separately and remain celibate until you are married. If you are not a married couple, you should be vetting each other as potential godly spouses for a future godly marriage. You should not be in a state of fornication.
In a situation where two Christians are dating, it is important for the relationship to be focused on God's will for us. If the goal is not marriage, then the relationship should be reconsidered and prayer should be used to discern God's will for the relationship.
Regarding your prayer request, we encourage you to seek God's will for your relationship.
Please read and meditate on the following verses:
And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. If you love Me, keep My commandments. John 14:13-15 (WEB)
If you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9-10 (WEB)
For whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13 (WEB)
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12 (WEB)
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8:1 (WEB)
Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. I Corinthians 7:1-3 (WEB)
It is good for a man not to touch a woman. But, because of sexual immoralities, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband. Let the husband render to his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife to her husband. The wife doesn't have authority over her own body, but the husband. Likewise also the husband doesn't have authority over his own body, but the wife. 1 Corinthians 7:1-4 (WEB)
Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the bed undefiled: but fornicators and adulterers God will judge. Hebrews 13:4 (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 don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's. 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 (WEB)
This is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don't know God; that no one should take advantage of and wrong a brother or sister in this matter; because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified. For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification. 1 Thessalonians 4:3-7 (WEB)
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up this person and their relationship. We pray that You will reveal Your will for their lives and guide them in Your truth.
Lord, if this relationship is not aligned with Your will, we pray that You will give them the strength to end it and seek a godly spouse. If this relationship is pleasing to You, we pray that You will reignite their passion for each other and for You, drawing them closer together in Your love.
We pray for their faith and ask that you help them to believe in Jesus Christ. Without belief in Jesus Christ, there is no access to God.
Help them to live according to Your word, fleeing from sexual immorality and pursuing purity. Give them wisdom and discernment as they navigate this relationship, and help them to honor each other and You in all they do.
Help them to have godly marriages with godly spouses.
We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
