We understand your urgency and desire for unity in your marriage. Let's firstly go to scripture. We are reminded of a key verse for marriage, Ecclesiastes 4:12 WEB: "and if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken." This verse underscores the strength and resilience of a united marriage under God.
We note that you have mentioned '###' instead of your husband's name and 'Jesus Christ name'. We will pray for your husband and for you in Jesus' name. We must remember it is only in the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Let us discuss some things you have mentioned.
While it's important to pray for unity and agreement, we must also remember the importance of free will and the individual's personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We cannot force someone to become a born-again Christian; it is a personal decision each individual must make.
We commend you for desiring a strong and godly marriage. It is important to remember the sanctity of marriage and the roles that God has ordained for husbands and wives. Wives are to submit to their husbands as to the Lord, and husbands are to love their wives as Christ loved the church (Ephesians 5:22-28 WEB). Both husband and wife are to submit to one another in reverence to Christ (Ephesians 5:21 WEB).
We must address that we should not be praying for our spouse to have eyes only for us in a possessive or controlling way. Instead, we should pray for mutual respect, love, and fidelity in marriage. We should also not seek to replace or exclude others in our spouse's life, but rather to build a strong, loving, and inclusive relationship.
Let us pray together for you and your husband in Jesus' name:
Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ and lift up this marriage to You. We pray for unity and agreement between this wife and husband, as they strive to honor You in their marriage. We ask that You soften the husband's heart and draw him closer to You, that he may become a born-again Christian if he isn't already so, but we recognize that this is a personal choice.
We pray for blessing, strength, protection, and flourishing in their marriage, that it may be a testament to Your love and faithfulness. We ask that You grant them wisdom, patience, and love for one another, that they may grow closer together and closer to You. Lord, we ask that you make their marriage stronger and deeper in every way.
