We understand your urgent prayer request for your husband's salvation and the unity of your marriage. It's wonderful to see your faith and desire for God's will in your husband's life and your relationship. We will pray with you, but first, let's address a few things from a biblical perspective.
We are instructed in the Bible to be in agreement and to pray for each other. As it says in Matthew 18:19 WEB, "Again, amen I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven." However, we must ensure that our desires and prayers align with God's will and His word.
Firstly, it's important to understand that while we can pray for someone to come to salvation, we cannot force or manipulate their free will. It is the Holy Spirit's job to draw people to Christ. As it says in John 6:44 WEB, "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up in the last day."
Regarding the unity and love in your marriage, we encourage you to focus on your role as a wife in a biblical sense and trust God to work in your husband's heart. As it says in 1 Peter 3:1-2 WEB, "In like manner, wives, be in subjection 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." Rather than trying to force unity or change your husband, focus on your own walk with Christ and let God work in your husband's life.
The desire for a deeper emotional connection and increased affection is natural, but we caution against demanding or trying to control your husband's feelings or actions. True love is patient and kind, not jealous, boasting, or proud. As it says in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 WEB, "Love is patient and is kind; love doesn't envy. Love doesn't brag, is not proud, doesn't behave itself inappropriately, doesn't seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn't rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
Finally, we want to address the mention of "dreams" and experiences of feelings. Be cautious that these are not a priority over God's will and His word. Our feelings can be deceiving, and experiences are not a reliable measure of God's will. As it says in Jeremiah 17:9 WEB, "The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?"
Let's pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up this sister in Christ and her husband. Lord, we ask that You draw him to Yourself, that he would come to know You as his personal Lord and Savior. We pray for unity in their marriage, that they would both be in agreement and aligned with Your will. Help them to love each other as You have loved us, and to be patient and kind with one another. We rebuke any attempt to control or manipulate, and we ask that You would help them to walk in true love and submission to You. Give them wisdom and discernment, and help them to grow together in You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue praying for your husband and your marriage.
