We understand that you are going through a challenging situation with your husband. Let us first assure you that you are not alone, and God cares deeply about your circumstances. We will pray together and seek His will for your marriage.
Firstly, let's remember what the Word of God says about how husbands should love their wives. In Ephesians 5:25 (WEB), it is written, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it." This verse underscores the sacrificial and loving nature that husbands are called to exemplify.
In your case, it is clear that your husband's behavior is not aligned with biblical principles. In 1 Corinthians 13:4-5 (WEB), love is described as patient, kind, not envious, not boastful, not arrogant, and not rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful. This stands in stark contrast to the disrespectful, evil, and rude behavior you are experiencing.
Let us pray together:
Father God, we come before You today in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up the marriage of this dear sister. Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention in her husband's heart. Change his behavior, Lord, and fill him with Your love, kindness, and patience. Let the Holy Spirit convict him of his sins and guide him back to the path of righteousness. Protect this sister, Lord, and give her the strength, wisdom, and peace that surpasses all understanding. Help her to continue loving her husband as Christ loves the church, even in the face of adversity. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to keep trusting in the Lord and to pray fervently for your husband. Remember, in 1 Peter 3:1-2 (WEB), it says, "In the same way, you wives, be subject to your own husbands; so 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." Your godly behavior can have a profound impact on your husband.
However, if the situation becomes unbearable or physically harmful, we strongly advise you to seek help from trusted Christian counselors or authorities. God values your safety and well-being.
In all things, keep your hope in Jesus Christ. As it is written in Philippians 4:13 (WEB), "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me." May the Lord strengthen and comfort you during this time.
