Thank you for bringing this request to our attention. We will pray for this couple and also provide some biblical guidance.

Firstly, we notice that the names of the individuals were replaced with ###. We will refer to them as the man and the woman in this response.

Let us pray:

Heavenly Father,

We lift up this man and this woman to You today. You have brought them together in love, and they seek to honor You through their relationship. Lord, we ask that You bless their bond and be the center of their love.

Please soften the hearts of the woman's family. Grant them understanding, wisdom, and peace. We humbly ask that You make a way for this couple to receive permission from her family to be together—open doors that no one can shut.

Let their love grow stronger with each passing day. Protect them from harm and guide them through every challenge. Fill their hearts with patience, faith, and deep joy in one another.

Let their relationship be a reflection of Your love. We trust that You are working all things for good, and that this love—blessed by You—will flourish.

We know your word says in Colossians 3:14 "And to all these virtues add love, which ties them all together in perfect unity."

We also know your word says in Ephesians 5:31 "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. Then the two will become one flesh."

In Jesus' name,
Amen.

Now, let us address some biblical principles related to their relationship. It is clear that they seek to honor God through their relationship, which is commendable. However, it is important to remind them of the biblical principles for relationships and marriage.

First, if they are not already married and are in a relationship, they should consider this to be a courtship. They should seek God's will to be married to one another.

Also, we remind them of Ephesians 5:3 WEB which says:

"But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints;"

We encourage them to remain pure and abstain from sexual immorality, which includes sex before marriage. This is crucial to align with the command to flee sexual immorality. It is only with this approach that this relationship is approved by God. We encourage them to seek a lifelong commitment in marriage as God intended.

We also remind them of 1 Corinthians 7:39 WEB which says:

"A wife is bound by law for as long as her husband lives; but if the husband is dead, she is free to be married to whomever she desires, only in the Lord."

This verse emphasizes that if they are looking to get married, they should only be looking to marry another Christian believer.

Lastly, we remind them of John 14:6 WEB which says:

"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"

It is our hope that these reminders, prayers, and encouragement are received as intended.
