This is my prayer: I desire a life and home free of violence and abuse for me and my son, as promised in Isaiah 54:6-7 and for God’s leading for the next steps. Please pray for my abuser, R., to be delivered from that spirit of abuse and control. Thank you for praying..
I’m praying for you.
Please give me the words and the strength to show my fiancé that I do think GOD brought us together and I do LOVE her deeply but, when I try to give her examples of these things, the reason is never good enough.
I pray that God will help you and your fiancé communicate love to one another. Lord, give Doug the right words and soften his fiancé’s heart.
My prayer request is to help me understand myself and my spouse better. I would like to go for counseling but he refuses to even seek help. we are struggling with intimacy and disagree a lot over finances. Please pray to help me overcome these troubles.
I hate my husband. HATE him! He is always in a bad mood and no matter how happy I am when I greet him, I get nothing but grunts. The dogs gets a better greeting than I do. I admit I’ve been away from God and the church and have recently just begun listening to Christian radio again, but I’m all out of steam. I don’t know what to do anymore. I heard on the radio this morning, can’t remember the pastor’s name, but it was suggested that you stick with it. Stay through the abuse if it happens once a month. Really? The abuse I get is emotional. He has a terrible temper. The dogs and I hide in the room that I sleep in, by myself, until Stormin’ Norman has calmed down. Then I’m expected to come out and behave as though nothing has happened. As a side note, when I was a teenager, I tried to kill myself and those thoughts come back often. I’m fat and ugly and I would be better off out of everyone’s hair. At least that’s the way my husband makes me feel.
I pray for your heart to heal from your pain. I’m sure it’s not an easy situation to be in but when you begin to step towards the LORD he will give you peace and carry your burden. Trust Him and He will take care of you. I pray that your husbands heart will soften and he will be a humble, loving man that he needs to be.
Hi Beth, I’ve been there too but for me it was my mother, and I will say honestly you’re just hurting yourself. God loves you and you are here for a reason. You may not see it but you are. It took for me to leave California and because it was family, I knew that I was going to have to face those demons at some point in my life. But first I had to get myself together. God loves you and you need to love yourself and do what’s going to make you happy and strive in life. But remember this stay; please stay in church. In more ways than you can ever imagine it will give you the strength you need. God bless and I will keep you in my prayers. Hey, I love you because are are beautiful :)
My wife has left and filed for divorce and it will be final on July 12, 2014. We are both Christians but she says she has found peace in leaving me. We both committed adultery during a previous separation and she confessed fairly quick afterwards but I held mine a secret for 2 years before confessing and now she is using my sin as a biblical reason for divorce. I forgave hers but she won’t forgive mine. She is in another relationship currently and apparently thinks it’s okay. Please pray that GOD touches our hearts and turns her heart back to Him and that He would give her back to me.
I’m proud that you found the strength to be honest to your wife. I will pray that the Lord continues to give you strength and guidance.
I thank you for caring about us who have difficulty in our relationship. I and my boyfriend have been dating for seven years now. We don’t have any children but I think he wants to get married. It’s just he don’t have money and he is always scared to do things. I want us to pray for him so that he cannot be afraid anymore. I know he doesn’t have another girlfriend. I trust him and he really loves me. He got a new job now and I hope when he is done we are going to get married. Help me me so that it can work. I want us to have a child and to have our beautiful house. I need you to pray for me also. I applied for a post and I need to be admitted. Please pray for me.
I love my husband but he’s spoiled and controlling. I would say that we are soulmate and people think we are related because of our matching personalities. We are the mirror image of my parents who were together since grade school and married for 39 yrs until his death. You did see one without the other. My concerns are I feel smothered, can’t get work done let alone work from home. He always says I need to go to therapy or take medicine for stress. I don’t have space unless I leave the house or sit on the deck. Sometimes I really think about ending our marriage of 14 yrs.
Grace & Peace be with you! I’m asking for unity in prayer for my marriage that has been reconciled since May, after being separated for 8 months, going through warfare with my husband’s addiction, adultery, abandonment & abuse. It’s been hard but I’m praying the fire & glory of our Lord Jesus Christ to be seen through my marriage. ALLELUIA! The devil is a liar. I’m tired of Christians divorcing for lack of wisdom, submission, seeking God. Please keep me lifted, so can stay focus & seeking God’s face… With Love & Blessings.
My husband and I are a standoff. We’ve been married for 24 years in August and my husband Frank is a recovered RX drug abuser. He’s very involved in CR and many other Men’s Ministry programs and puts me and our marriage on the back burner. He had a pornography issue last year that broke the foundation of trust in our marriage. He now refuses to go to counseling but consults with his friends about everything. He spends his time focused on his friends in CR (most of them single) and activites around his friends. I feel I’ve been left out. I’m hurt deeply that he can find time to talk with his friends, pray with his friends, do ministry with his friends, but nothing with me. He says he’s right about everything and that I need to just accept him the way that he is. I feel as though we’ve drifted apart and there’s no connection between us at all. I feel unloved and he feels disrespected. He says I’m high maintainance and have high standards that he cannot meet and that he’s okay with that and I need to do whatever I need to do; if I don’t like it he’s going to continue to do what he’s doing anyway. This has been going on for 7 years and I’m finally feed up with it. I’ve been living upstairs for the last 7 weeks. I desire a TRUE Godly marriage, not a divorce. I think it’s unhealthy for married people to run around and seek advice from single people. As I write this Frank is out of town with 7 of his friends for the weekend playing golf and I’m left at home alone with unresolved issues in our marriage. I understand that only God can change his heart, not me. Please pray for us before we end up separated or worse. Separation has occurred 2 times due to the same issues, my husband putting others and himself before me and our marriage. I truly don’t know what to do. Thank you, Cinderella Field
Just need some prayer for my marriage and family. My wife and I have had ups and downs for 8 years of marriage. We were blessed with our first son last year and I thought things would improve. I finally had to admit I have a habitual lying problem strongly tied to my generalized anxiety. I’ve been in both secular and Christian counseling. We just moved to Texas for a year and having same issues me with lies and it hurt our trust. She says she wants out new man, new start –that she hates me.
I feel we are at a point of no return. I’m completing separation paperwork online tonight. There is no emotional or spiritual intimacy between us although I’m constantly begging/complaining for this. The sexual relationship remains intact but with perversion since it feels like an act of duty and degradation versus and expression of love. I’m hot tempered and when I feel slighted, I fuss. Sometimes this is in front of our children and I hate that so much but if I don’t fuss then, the issue is never even discussed. My youngest child was in tears tonight. My inlaws are visiting and I have not known who long they’re staying for weeks. My children have one piece of information and my husband gives me another. They’re staying a day longer than I had anticipated but when I tried to discuss it with my husband he was falling asleep on the couch (10 pm). When I mentioned that I deserved more courtesy than not being told, he was grumpy with me as if it was my fault. This is not a one time behavior or there would be no prayer request. He doesn’t respect me, doesn’t strive to be a Godly husband, emotionally connects more with a coworker than me. I don’t want a divorce but am I damaging my children more in this situation?
Terah, I pray that God will give you real wisdom and discernment with your husband, and in communication with him. You may find some encouragement in The Power of a Praying Wife

Please pray for my life and marriage to get back on a straight line. This is my first marriage, and my wife wants to separate. Please pray that she looks into her heart and have her realize what she’s doing is wrong and hurts. I feel like she does not love me and does not want me in her life. Pray for my wife Mary to come back and look into her heart. Pray for Mary, and myself so we can be together, happy, and a family again. Thank you and God bless.
Please pray for me, my husband, and kids. This March were we married two years. He cheated on me after only 7 months then again and again. He said he only had sex with one of them. I moved out in December and now I’ve been talking to a very old friend and have had suppers together. I’m so scared of what to do and don’t even know what my heart is telling me. Please pray for strength, guidance, and something to slap me in the face so I know the difference. I don’t know where to turn… or what to do. I don’t trust my husband but I don’t trust that another man won’t do the same. This is both our third marriage. I’m tired of starting over and hurting. Thank you.
Please pray for my husband Donald, that he will come to his senses and walk away from the other woman and return to me, his wife. Thank you so much, Mary
Please pray for us. My husband abandoned us and moved in with his mistress in another state. I’ve been praying and fasting, before he left, but he got worse, and left. Pray for him to turn away from her, and be saved, and the blinders fall off of him, and true repentance.
