My husband, John, is divorcing me. He has turned his back on our entire family & children. He is living with a woman he met in March and is paying all of her expenses, while refusing to pay for his own daughter. Please pray for God to break him over his sin against Him! Pray that I can stay focused on Christ & forgiveness. I pray for all those that in similar situations.
Adding our prayers to yours for you and all that are in a similar situation. May the cheating spouse recognize the error of their ways, the pain and hurt they’re causing, repent and seek to make amends with their spouse and children. Praying that the two of you are able to come together, honestly talk and put in the work to overcome your obstacles and continue working on your marriage until it reflects Christ.
My husband suffers from PTSD after deployment in the US Army. He also has a very difficult past and unsupportive family. This is a very difficult path that not many understand. Life itself has improved yet he still struggles and hurts deeply. Our marriage is often in danger, because simple problems, or deeper problems can offset or worsen his situation.
I know fully that the enemy continuously tries to interfere in our relationship, and inhibit him from making progress. It’s heavily discouraging. I have a lot of hope and faith, but have yet to see the tangible and permanent results of God’s breakthrough. Positive experiences often end in a downhill battle. I am literally the only one he trusts and the only one he has to support him.
With that, I am the only possible one who can hurt him. So when he gets hurt, the effect is very extreme. I also need help staying strong and encouraged. It never seems to be getting better. Please pray, believe, and declare!!!!!!
Praying for you to be increasingly empowered and strengthened by the Lord so that you fulfill the role of a wife to your husband. May he recognize you as a blessing and not put his happiness/stability on you but the Savior. May he grow deeper in his relationship with Christ so that you can truly see God’s work at hand. He has to find peace, love and joy in Christ to survive and be able to fully love you. Please do not allow this relationship to become toxic for you and you feel like you are the only one who can hurt him and/or make him happy, keep him leveled out, etc. As you state in your post, many things have happened to him and contribute to his current state- yet, God is faithful and will make a difference when He is kept as the center and allowed to work. Praying that neither of you hinder His plan and let His wisdom, power, love, joy and peace guide you in every situation.
My wife Kate told me in January that she wants to divorce me. Tonight she told me she feels we are totally done. She said, in no uncertain terms, that she has no desire to work on saving the marriage. She feels there has never been any intimate emotional connection between us and there is no point trying after 26 years. Please pray for us. I am willing to do anything to save our marriage. Please ask God to change Kate’s heart. Only God can save our relationship.
Praying that your wife does not give the enemy any ground, but keeps her heart open to God’s leading. Also, praying that the two of you do not give up or give in, but persevere in ways and methods of expressing love even if it appears that there is no change. Love her sacrificially and do all that God is calling you to do as her husband – so that God will be pleased with you.
Please pray for me to get married before the end of this year even though there is no man in my life. I am a woman aged 46.
Praying that your desire to get married and have a Christ honoring marriage with a man of God is honored. Keep trusting and believing- nothing is impossible with God.
My husband David is with a new woman and we are in the process of a divorce (he wants the divorce so he can marry her because she’s a “good Christian woman”) He seems really happy and his mom is finally getting the daughter she never got in me. So in one regard I can be happy for them. I have been a rebellious woman and turned my back on the Lord many times in this marriage. David as well we have both sinned and hurt each other deeply.
I want my husband back and I want to do deep self discovery together and 1:1 with mentors, coaches and guides with the church and all help that is available to break our patterns that have kept us from our creator and each other. I want us to heal from the inside out and be made new and to see what god can do in our lives and for our children. We have been married 18 years and have 3 children.
I want to be used well by God and I want our restoration to be a huge testimony to the power of prayer and standing in the gap. I feel Hopeless and helpless today. I have good days and bad days and today is a bad one.
We see a mediator tomorrow at 11am EST. Please pray for us for this meeting and for God to convict him and this woman, Evelyn, aka Eve.
Praying that everyone involved in this accepts responsibility for their actions so that the counseling/mentoring can truly help you. Also praying that your husband recognizes that this new relationship cannot be godly or honorable since he is still married to you. May both of you do what is necessary to work through your hindrances- grow in faith and in your relationships with God so that you can truly be the wife and husband that each other needs. God can and will do a great work in your marriage when you both seek Him and let His will and purposes be your guide.
Lissa, I will be praying also that God intervene powerfully in your marriage to David and bring His miraculous healing and restoration. Your mediation is 40 minutes from now. I will be praying!
George and I have been married for two years, and he has been seeing this other woman for almost one and half year. Have been staying with him while he’s been cheating on me. The problem is that it really hurts, and he does not care about me. He can’t look at me or even speak with me. If you can please help me through prayer to overcome this it has really been difficult because I really love him and can’t afford to lose him to any woman. Please help.
Praying that your husband ends his affair and makes you feel loved and secure in his love by working with you to build intimacy in your marriage. Also praying for divine wisdom and peace of mind for you so that you can follow God’s leading in how He wants you to handle your marriage.
Please pray for my marriage. My wife has requested a divorce. She says that she can’t love me, no matter how much she has tried. Please pray for God’s miraculous healing and reconciliation.
Praying for your wife to be able to love you through the power of the Holy Spirit – that she isn’t falling prey to the enemy’s suggestions or only focusing on the bad. Also praying, that if there is something that you can do to help her love you or if there is something you are doing that hinders her from loving you -you willingly make the necessary changes (within reason of course). May the two of you continue to communicate and not give up, but be rewarded with a stronger, lasting bond for your faithfulness.
Pray for my family. It is broken. My husband of 20 years left us in January. We are still struggling. I pray daily for Chris to come home, to wake to what he is doing, to soften his heart, and learn to love again. He is suffering from PTSD. Please pray.
My sister Shannon I lift you up before our King and Master Jesus Christ. I ask that He covers you with His Blood and perform a miraculous and healing work in your marriage. I speak life into your marriage and pray that God makes this amazing covenant between you and your husband whole again. I encourage you to keep trusting the Lord, go before His throne often and keep your heart pure. I bless your family in the Name of the Lord, Amen and amen.
My wife of 17 years recently asked for a divorce shortly after Father’s Day this year and has since moved out of our home. We have struggled with communicating effectively, had some financial disputes, and I haven’t been meeting my wife’s emotional needs. We have two children ages eight and eleven. I love my family and am in constant prayer for restoration and reconciliation. I pray for my wife to receive clarity of mind and for her heart to turn back toward God. I need for my brothers and sisters in Christ to stand in the gap to intercede for my family that this divorce would not come to pass and that God’s will would be done. I want to claim victory over this terrible situation soon and to testify that God is able to change the worst of circumstances into a mighty testimony. Bless you all and thank you.
Joining you in praying for your marriage and that you are able to make the necessary changes God is calling you to make so that your wife is reassured of love, her needs are met and that she is willing to fight with you to overcome the obstacles of life. Praying that her heart is softened and that she won’t give up on fighting for her marriage and family. Also, that your children are not caught in the middle and are able to continue growing in their faith as the two of you model godly behaviors before them.
I keep reading all these entries about spouses not in love anymore….my husband doesn’t say he is not in love, he actually says he loves me, that he’s committed to me, that I’m the only one for him…yet, aside from work, food and sex, he does not spend time with me in the areas that actually matter.
We work together, he loves my food and is attracted to me, but when it comes to spending time with someone he goes upstairs and gets on his phone and calls or texts or private messages other women. I have been fighting this for thirty years, and I’m tired. I am hurt and I am offended. I’m even offended at God at this point. I am born again, so is he or at least that’s what he says. I don’t believe he is based on his behavior.
I am rather the ‘strict’ by he book type of person. I like physical modesty and transparency of character. I’m not for being on the phone with anybody let alone another man and even more behind my husbands back. He on the other hand, does it all the time and when I confront him he always says he is doing nothing wrong. A few weeks ago I found some private messages dating back to 2016. In them he is telling this woman how he loves her voice of reason and how much he enjoys the devotionals she posts in the mornings. When it was her birthday he told her he was going to post something on her Facebook page but then realized he had never spoken to her and wanted to do it in person instead and asked for her phone number. But not before saying to her ‘I hope you can tell I’m born again’, almost as if to say ‘you can trust me I’m a just guy’.
Everyone else gets a stupid birthday meme, but not her! He loves to discuss religion with her and even went to buy a specific Bible based on what she told him. He even engaged in a conversation with her about fasting! You may think, geez, he sounds like a great guy?! Right? Talking about God and Bibles and sacrifices. Yeah I bet he does! The problem is he NEVER has those conversations with me! The height of hypocrisy was when I read his conversation about fasting realizing I have spent YEARS inviting him to fast and pray with me and his answer always is that God is not calling him to fast because God does not want him to go hungry.
If he knew any better he would know the fast that woman was talking about was a ‘I need to lose weight now’ fast from the keto diet! I go on his account and blocked her and when he found out he lost his mind. I gather he went looking for her and couldn’t find her so he blew a gasket at me for blocking her. I’m tired. She’s not the first one. And sadly she won’t be the last. If I fight enough he may stop talking to her but only until the next one comes around. It is disgusting for me to read his messages to other women online; even women he’s never met in person but in online groups he is a part of.
One women he contacted in private message to check on her well being because he knew something had happened on her city..? Weird, I have no idea where the heck he found out, news or scanner I don’t know. All I know that he’s there telling her to be safe and that he’s praying for her and she got all excited with his odds and called him all kinds of hints and he’s like ‘stay in touch’ and she was like ‘I will if you will’
Look, I’ve had it. If this was new that would be one thing but this is constant behavior His is his character his true colors and I am tired.
I have prayed a lot for this man over the years, thirty years to be exact. And may God forgive me, but I’m done asking.
MSM, praying for peace of mind and for you to experience God’s love and care for you in a tangible way so that you know you matter and are heard. Based on your post, it sounds like your husband has had a series of emotional affairs and doesn’t consider it cheating because he does not have sex with these women. It is wrong and you are right to want to be the only woman in his life that he is intimately bonded to.
Praying that he is able to remove the veil and see these relationships as a distraction to his marriage, stop taking you for granted, love you in ways that nourish you and continue on the path of honoring God as a married couple. Also, that you find the support and encouragement you need to thrive and grow in your faith and in your marriage.
Please pray for my marriage it’s falling apart. My husband has become distant and disrespectful. He no longer seeks out for God and doesn’t want to communicate anymore. I’m having a hard time staying.
Father, give Jamie and her husband the ability to see You in the midst of this upheaval to dig deep and rely on Your power to keep them together. May they not allow the enemy to win and fight against each other, but fight together against his attacks. May they assume the best and not the worst about each other and find reasons to act out of their love for another with simple acts of kindness. Let them see that they are better together than apart and put in the work to make their marriage successful. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
I need prayers for my husband. We are married for nearly 14 years with a 10 year old son. Right from the beginning of our marriage there were financial worries and insecurities due to his family and pressures and insults from my side of the family for him. The first 9 years I did not realize he was very caring and loving and gave me so much time.
Now, I feel this past two years have been really troublesome for me. He is terribly hurt with my family and removes it all on me emotionally. We live together but there is so much of a disconnect as his work takes a lot of his time and he is left exhausted and just wants to sleep when he is home. I am choked up inside as my son too has developed seizures in this past two years. All this worries me and I wonder where is my marriage heading to? When I talk to him he says he is stressed because of his job but I can’t completely trust that.
Praying for divine intervention in every area of your husband and your life – may your son be healed of his seizures, may the family strife from both sides of the family end, may your husband find peace and enjoyment on his job and may the two of you find ways to connect so that you experience a deeper level of intimacy that brings you through these obstacles. But most importantly, may neither of you neglect your individual relationship with Christ and draw strength from Him so that you can honor Him as individuals, a married couple and family.
Before I got saved 2 years ago, I was making my wife miserable. Now we’re both Christians but she still refuses to get close to me. I never cheated or anything like that, but I made her feel unloved. God changed my heart and I want to have that close marriage we once had. Please help me pray that God will help my wife to see the change in me and that she’ll let me back into her heart. She says she loves me but doesn’t act like it at all. Please pray for us.
