They talk in the bible about man and woman becoming one flesh when they marry, which seems like a weird metaphor for sex.
And God only rents you the body, it's in your possession but it's not your property. The soul is 'you' for the purpose of identification but it will go back to God once time has run its course.
God exists outside of time so all events have already taken place.

Is the time thing true? If so why do people pray when they want someone to be ok and recover from a sickness, genuine question (I say this as someone raised religious so I'm not trying to be a smart ass)

Praying regularly brings positive energy to the world, which may help you and others.
God isn't there watching your ass 24/7 and listening to prayers for your favorite soccer team, but depending on your tradition and views the holy spirit accomplishes the power of God for the individual.

But if history already happened then why does stuff change? Even on a non prayer level
human
It has happened for God, not for you. God is looking at it like the orb pondering dude, having access to any point in spacetime instantly.
A being that is above time perceives all of it at once, if God was bound by time he too would be subject to change but he can't be bound by something he invented.

Ah I see that makes sense thanks anon
