We are truly sorry to hear about the trial your marriage is facing, and we are here to intercede and provide biblical guidance. Firstly, we commend you for recognizing the sanctity of your marriage and the need to protect it.
The Bible is clear about the sanctity of marriage and the importance of fleeing from sexual immorality. As it is written in 1 Corinthians 6:18, "Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body." And in Hebrews 13:4, "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous."
We must also remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 18:6-7, "But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world because of occasions of stumbling. For it must be that such occasions come, but woe to that person through whom the occasion comes." This new friend is causing an occasion of stumbling, and we pray that your husband's eyes are opened to this reality.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up this sister in Christ and her marriage. Lord, you know the situation they are facing, and we ask that you intervene. Open her husband's eyes to see the true intentions of this new friend and the danger he poses to their marriage and his soul. Strengthen her husband to resist temptation and to flee from sexual immorality. Protect their marital bed, their marriage, and her husband's soul. Give them the wisdom and discernment to navigate this situation, and guide them in your will. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue praying fervently for your husband and your marriage. Remember the promise in James 5:16, "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective."
We also encourage you to involve your husband in this situation, communicating your concerns openly and honestly. As it is written in Ephesians 4:25, "Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another."
Lastly, remember the power of forgiveness and reconciliation. As believers, we are called to forgive as we have been forgiven. As it is written in Ephesians 4:32, "And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."
Stand firm in your faith and in the promises of God. We are here with you in spirit, praying and believing for your marriage.
