We understand that you are urgently seeking prayer for your marriage, asking God to strengthen the bond between you and your husband. We stand with you in prayer, seeking God's will for your union.
Firstly, we want to remind you of the power of asking in Jesus' name. As Jesus said, "Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask for in prayer, believing, you will receive". (Matthew 21:22 WEB) and "If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it". (John 14:14 WEB)
Now, let's address your request. It's clear that you desire a deep, intimate connection with your husband. This is a beautiful desire, and it aligns with God's plan for marriage. The Bible tells us that "For this reason a man will leave his father and his mother and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh". (Matthew 19:5 WEB) This oneness is not just physical, but also emotional and spiritual.
However, we want to gently remind you that true intimacy comes from a place of mutual respect, love, and understanding, not just deep feelings or physical attraction. The Bible encourages wives to respect their husbands and husbands to love their wives, submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ. (Ephesians 5:21-33 WEB)
We also want to address the repeated use of the phrase "every single part of me". While God knows our hearts fully, we encourage you to remember that God is more concerned with our hearts turning toward Him and our spouses than with our physical bodies or feelings. The Bible tells us to "love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength". (Mark 12:30 WEB)
Lastly, we want to remind you that God's plan for marriage is for one man and one woman to be united for life. (Matthew 19:5-6) This means staying faithful to each other in every way, including physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Now, let's pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up this wife and her husband. Lord, You know the deepest desires of their hearts, and You see their need for intimacy and connection. We pray that You would draw them closer to each other, and even more importantly, closer to You. Help them to love, respect, and cherish each other in a way that honors You. Give them wisdom to navigate their marriage in a way that aligns with Your will. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
