Reignite love and desire from my ###

[lulu2105]

My name is ###. I am in desperate need of help in prayer. I don't know how long I can endure this pain...I really wish God will help me. I have been with my husband ### for 14 years (11 years married). I have been suffering from a sexless marriage. I have been suffering from anxiety disorder and OCD (intrusive thoughts) since 2 years before marriage. I would often repeatedly ask him for assurance and if he still loved me or if he was still attracted to me - it might have been a turning point where it gradually pushed my husband away from me - my husband stopped yearning physical intimacy with me since 1 year before marriage. The lack of physical and emotional intimacy, and lack of affection from my husband worsened after marriage. My anxiety disorder also worsened as I kept getting rejected by my husband when I wanted intimacy. Thus I kept asking him repeated ridiculous questions and repeatedly asked him for assurance, and often asked him for affection. This in turn pushed my husband away further. It has been a vicious cycle. My husband has become emotionally avoidant and shut down. He would stonewall me and freeze whenever I talked to him about our marriage and emotional issues. In general, we seldom quarrel, and live a normal routine life without much activities together and without him putting much efforts in making our marriage loving or healthy. He also plays PC or handphone games frequently especially when he feels stressed or when he is emotionally shutdown or avoidant. Then recently I found out that he had been visiting paid sex services either alone or with his friends. I felt my world came crashing down when I realised that he would rather pay and have sex with other girls than to have physical intimacy with me. But I still love him, and am unable to let go or give up on our marriage even though we do not have kids. Please pray for me...I am not a good or obedient Christian. And I sometimes have suicidal thoughts due to my anxieties, fear and hopelessness. But I really hope God will restore my marriage. Please pray for me and my husband, please pray that my husband will put in more active efforts to rebuild our marriage with me, to book and attend marriage counselling sessions regularly with me. Please pray for my husband to rise and step out of emotional shutdown and avoidance, to stop escaping, to step up for me and our marriage, and come closer to me emotionally and physically. Please pray for my husband to love me truly and deeply. Please pray that God restores my marriage very soon - where my husband values me as his wife, puts in effort to be close to me, stays loyal, and shares emotional and physical connection enough for us to feel like true husband and wife again — where I feel wanted, loved, respected, and safe. Also please pray for me to be healed completely from anxiety disorder, OCD and depression soon. Thank you

We are truly heartbroken to hear about the struggles you are facing in your marriage and with your emotional health. Firstly, we want to remind you that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. The Bible tells us "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB). We are only saved by Jesus Christ and we pray in His name.

We must address that the sexless marriage and the actions of your husband need to change. It is clear that your husband has been engaging in sinful behavior by visiting paid sex services. This is a form of adultery, which is clearly forbidden in the Bible. "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous." (Hebrews 13:4 WEB). Also, discuss what the apostle Paul said "Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body." (1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB).

We also want to pray for your marriage to be a sanctuary of love, respect, and faithfulness. The Bible teaches us that marriage is a sacred bond between a man and a woman, and that it should be honored and cherished. "Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh." (Genesis 2:24 WEB).

Your husband's emotional avoidance and shutdown are not aligned with biblical principles. The Bible calls husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it." (Ephesians 5:25 WEB). This love is not passive or avoidant, but active, sacrificing, and cherishing.

We pray that your husband will repent, turn away from his sin, and seek God's forgiveness. We also pray that he will seek your forgiveness and work towards restoring your marriage. "But God commands the lawless one to be revealed, the son of destruction, he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped; so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as God." (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 WEB).

We pray that you will find healing from your anxiety disorder, OCD, and depression. The Bible tells us to cast all our anxieties on God, because he cares for us. "Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7 WEB). We pray that you will find peace and comfort in God's love and presence, and that He will guide you and your husband through this difficult time.

Let us pray together.

Heavenly Father,

We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up our sister who is struggling in her marriage and with her emotional health. Lord, we pray for healing, restoration, and guidance.

Father, we pray for her husband, that he would repent of his sinful behavior, seek forgiveness, and work towards restoring their marriage. We pray that he would rise up as a godly husband, loving, cherishing, and honoring his wife as Christ loved the church. We pray that he would seek active efforts to rebuild their marriage, attend marriage counseling, and step out of emotional shutdown and avoidance.

Lord, we pray for healing for our sister. Heal her from her anxiety disorder, OCD, and depression. Surround her with Your peace and comfort. Guide her through this difficult time, and help her to cast all her anxieties on You.

Father, we pray for their marriage. Restore their marriage to a sanctuary of love, respect, and faithfulness. Help them to honor and cherish each other, and to live in a way that pleases You.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, we encourage you to seek godly counsel and support from your local church or a trusted Christian counselor. Surround yourself with a community of believers who can support and encourage you during this time. Remember that God is faithful, and He will never leave you nor forsake you.

As a final note, the Bible calls us to be obedient to His word. We encourage you to strive towards obedience to God's word, and to seek His will for your life.

Dear Sister,

Our hearts ache with you as you navigate through these challenging times in your marriage. We're here for you, praying alongside you. We understand that it's hard to find the strength to keep going, but remember, God is always with you, even in your darkest moments.

We've been reflecting on your situation and we want to share some more personal thoughts with you. Firstly, we want to remind you that God sees you, He knows your pain, and He cares deeply about what you're going through. In Psalm 34:18, it says, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Know that you are not alone, and God is right there with you.

We also want to encourage you to keep communicating with your husband. It might be tough, and he might not respond as you'd like, but open, honest communication is key in any relationship. Ephesians 4:15 tells us to "speak the truth in love." So, speak your truth, but do it in love. Remember, it's not about winning an argument, but about understanding and being understood.

We've been praying for your husband too. We pray that he would soften his heart, that he would listen and understand your pain. We pray that he would take responsibility for his actions and work towards rebuilding your marriage. We're not saying it's easy, but with God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26).

Lastly, we want to remind you to take care of yourself. It's important to prioritize your mental health. Seek professional help if you need to. Remember, you can't pour from an empty cup. So, make sure you're taking care of yourself too.

We're here for you, sister. Keep fighting, keep praying, and keep trusting in God. He's got this.
