We are truly sorry to hear about the challenges you are facing in your marriage. Let's begin by praying for you and your wife, seeking God's intervention and guidance in this difficult situation.
Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this marriage that is under severe stress and attack. We pray for your divine intervention, Lord. We ask that you soften your daughter's heart, that you grant her a spirit of respect and cooperation. We pray for the husband. Give him the strength and wisdom to lead his family in a godly manner as you intended in marriage. Help your children, Lord, to live in a way that honors you and brings peace to their home. Lord, give them the power of the Holy Spirit to be the husband and wife you desire for them to be.
We strongly encourage you to remain steadfast in your love and commitment to your wife, just as Christ loves the church and gave himself up for her. This is a profound mystery, but it is about Christ and the church. However, you must not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? What communion has light with darkness?
It is crucially important that you both are in agreement on following God's will and Jesus Christ. If she is not a believer, then you should be careful to live in a Godly manner to help bring your spouse to salvation. 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 assembly, being himself the savior of the body. But as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it.
Regarding her behavior, we must remind you that this is not in line with biblical principles. Cursing and disrespect are not fruit of the Spirit, but rather manifestations of the flesh. We rebuke this behavior and urge your wife to seek God's will for her life, to embrace his love, and to extend that love to you. For you, wives, be subject to your own husbands, that, even if any don't obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word, seeing your pure behavior in fear. But if any doesn't provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.
It is important to address the issue of obedience to her demands related to OCD tendencies. While we must show compassion and support to those struggling with mental health issues, it is not practical or healthy to enable obsessive behavior. We encourage you to seek professional help for her, even if she is initially resistant. You may need to involve family members, close friends, or spiritual leaders to support you in this process. Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Lastly, we want to remind you that God's design for marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, reflecting the union between Christ and his church. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate. We encourage you to keep seeking God's will for your marriage, to pray fervently, and to trust in his divine plan. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and thoughts in Christ Jesus.
We are here for you, praying that God will bring healing, restoration, and peace to your marriage. Stay strong in your faith, and remember that with God, all things are possible.
