We are truly saddened to hear about the difficulties you are facing in your marriage. Let us first remind you of the profound love and forgiveness that Jesus Christ offers, who died on the cross for our sins. It is only through His name that we have access to God and can be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
In marriage, God calls us to love and forgive as He has loved and forgiven us. Ephesians 4:32 WEB tells us: "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." Forgiveness is not just an act, but a journey of healing and restoration.
However, it is crucial to address the issues in your marriage that do not align with biblical principles. God's design for marriage is a union of love, respect, and faithfulness. The behavior of your husband, including ignoring your messages, blocking your number, and being distant, does not reflect the biblical model of a loving husband. As it is written in Ephesians 5:25 WEB: "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it." Husbands are called to love their wives as Christ loved the church, which includes sacrifice, care, and communication.
It is also important to address the lack of intimacy in your marriage. Intimacy is a vital part of a godly marriage, as stated in 1 Corinthians 7:3-5 WEB: "Let the husband give his wife the affection owed her, and likewise also the wife 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. Don’t deprive one another, unless it is by consent for a time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and prayer, and may be together again, that Satan doesn’t tempt you because of your lack of self-control."
Moreover, the explosive behavior of your husband is not in line with the fruits of the Spirit, which include patience, kindness, and self-control. As it is written in Galatians 5:22-23 WEB: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law."
We encourage you to seek godly counsel, either from a pastor or a Christian counselor, to help navigate this challenging situation. It is also essential to pray for your husband, that God would soften his heart and bring conviction and repentance.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who is hurting in her marriage. Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention. Fill her with Your love, forgiveness, and strength. Help her to forgive her husband as You have forgiven us. Bring healing and restoration to their marriage, and convict her husband of his actions. Lord, guide them to godly counsel and give them the wisdom to navigate this difficult time. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Remember, God is faithful, and He will not allow you to be tested beyond what you can endure. As it is written in 1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB: "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it."
Stay strong in your faith, and trust in the Lord. He will guide you and provide a way out of this challenging situation.
