RE: Marriage and family in trouble
Father, show this guest that the birth of a child brings much joy...but the adapting to the little one can also bring much stress. Let this couple pray together each day to hear your voice Father that they may be Spiritually One, as it is this Spiritual Oneness that is the adhesive that holds our relationships together in the long term. Let them pray for one another and for their child and for the marriage. Let the man of this house assume his rightful place of spiritual leadership and insist lovingly on these prayers as we find in Ephesians 5 and let this wife submit to his leadership that strife be kept far from this home.
22Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 23For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26to make her holy, cleansing[b] her by the washing with water through the word, 27and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church— 30for we are members of his body. 31"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh."[c] 32This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. (Ephesians 5:22-32) In Jesus name...Amen!
