My wife of 12 years left me about 2 weeks ago. Her reasons are emotional and verbal abuse by me. There was physical abuse in the past, but none on my part in the last 5 to 6 years. We haven’t spoken since she left the state. I believe she and our 3 children are in a battered woman’s shelter in Canada. Her sister says she needs a lot of time and space to heal and that it may be years before she heals from all the damage I’ve caused. I’m remorseful, have admitted my sins to her via email since she left, with no response at all from her. I get an occasional text message from her sister or dad letting me know of she and the kids are ok.
I’m devastated at the loss and the potential long term loneliness and current loneliness is getting to me after just two weeks! I’ve had no verbal contact with her or anyone in her family since she left. Everything has been via text message. My wife changed her marital status to separated on facebook. This hurt tremendously. I haven’t been allowed to talk to my children even on the phone. She’s requesting I get help with my anger issues that stem from sequel abuse in my past as a child. I’ve agreed to do that and have even agreed to see someone that she suggested. I’ve also been reading a few books; How to Win your Wife back Before It’s Too Late, and Hope for the Separated, as well as my Bible.
I admit I was a terrible husband. I wasn’t attentive to her needs. I ignored requests for affection as I was wrapped up in dealing with my own issues. I’d frequently blow up at her when she kept bringing up past issues. It got to be so tiring listening to the same complaints over and over again. I know this is selfish behaviour but I’m saying what happened.
While she has been gone, I’ve gone back to church, and probably spent more time in prayer and in my Bible than during our entire marriage. I’m beginning to feel hopeless. Her sister has said that she hasn’t filed for divorce, but that she’s very angry. I want her to see the change in me, but she wants zero contact. I want to see my children, but thus far no answer to my request. Thanks, Brian in WA State.
Brian, I pray that God will give you peace and wisdom as you face these challenges. I pray that He will bring healing for your own emotions, and help you follow His path. I pray He will help you trust His timing, and His care for your wife and children.
My husband is unfaithful. He has several relationships and no romance, no communication, no understanding anymore. Please pray for the restoration of my marriage, peace, unity, love, understanding, & knowledge.
I am six months pregnant and married to a verbally abusive, unstable man. I’ve been actively seeking for support in the Christian community and for a way out of this destructive relationship. I don’t want to expose my unborn children to this pattern of abuse and neglect. I have experienced cycles of hopelessness and depression and am trying to hold on for the sake of my children. I have no family or friends in this region of the country and the church community will not get involved since my husband isolates us from church/support.
Please, I’m requesting a swift resolution to this constant fear, dread, anxiety, and darkness. I know this is not how God intended marriage and I’m trying not to blame myself for marrying such a foolish/wicked man. He has no remorse and never admits wrongdoing for his actions. Praying that God will rouse up true, compassionate believers to pray alongside me and provide support. Also asking for God to remove either myself or spouse (ideal situation) until he gets set free from demonic rage/anger/paranoia,etc. I still believe that God is able despite how dreary the situation appears. Also praying for healing and protection and provision. Thank you.
I pray that God will miraculously provide Christians to surround you with practical and prayer support. I pray He will keep you safe and give you wisdom and discernment with your husband. I pray He will give you the exact knowledge of what to do.
Praying for the blessing and guidance of God. I want to be a stronger husband, father, and provider. We just had our first child and things around the house have been difficult. Struggles with intimacy, communication, and over all happiness. Please pray for strength and fulfillment.
Please pray for my daughter and her husband they have been married 2 1/2 years and are having serious issues in their marriage. Each one has brought their own problems to the marriage. Please pray that they each will put aside pride, repent and get right on the right track with God and their marriage. My heart is breaking for them.
Please pray for restoration in my marriage… It’s been 4 years separated and I still hold on waiting for him to return to the family. I can’t let go – something in me just doesn’t want to let go.
My friend NP’s husband has been having an affair for 18 months and she just found out the other woman is having a baby next month (or rather, her husband lied a few months ago and said they was a miscarriage and she just found out the truth a few days ago). Her husband has many issues including drug addiction and the other woman is certifiably crazy as she carves into my friend’s husband with razor blades the word “‘Mine” into his chest. She has done this sort of cutting on him the full time of the affair. NP and AP have three young children.
Please pray; this family is in crisis. The ow has 3 children, has never been married, and all the children have different fathers. Her poor 15 year old daughter is promiscuous and has already contracted an STD. She has made her children a part of the affair and has tried to portray her children as his children. It’s really tragic. The ow’s family is trying to convince her husband to abandon their marriage and their covenant children for the ow. Here’s the ironic thing these people (ow’s family) think they’re “Christians”. Please pray for this family and for Natalie who is struggling with what God wants her to do.
Please pray for me and my husband-to-be to work things out. We have been together for nearly 8 years and we are getting married on sept 2014. God, you shall take again all the pain and hurt in our hearts, fill it with love, joy, patience and understanding. Bless me and my husband-to-be so that we may never surrender to whatever challenges that come our way.
God, you shall fill our hearts with love for each other, and may you make each of us realise each other’s worth. God, you shall touch the heart of my husband-to-be, fill it with much love for me. Make our complicated relationship become uncomplicated.
God, I seek for your mercy and blessing that you may allow us to spend the rest of our lives with each other. God, you shall make this feeling mututal for both of us. Lead us not into temptations and guide us wherever we go.
God, you shall put us in each other’s heart and mind. Thank you lord for hearing my prayer. AMEN!
Please pray for my marriage. I have been married for 7 years now and it has been one battle after another. My husband is a Christian and was born again but he has backsliden for the past 5 years of our marriage. We have 2 daughters, 7 years and 6 years old. He has an alcohol problem and spends most of his free time drinking with friends. He watches DVD’s about vampires and blood thirsty demons. About 18 months ago he got drunk and tried to push and shove me around. I packed my things and moved to my Mum’s house with my children. He does not support me or the children. I earn a small income. It’s financially tough on me. I worry about the impact all of this has on my children and the long term effects of an absent Father. I want my marriage to work and I have not given up yet. I am just tired of fighting for it! Please help. God Bless!
Please pray for our marriage, that we can move past our difficulties and build a better relationship for ourselves and our family.
Please, I want to make my husband love me. He wants a divorce since he doesn’t love me. His name is Praveen.
Praying for your broken heart that The Lord would destroy the enemies handiwork. Also, I encourage you to use your Godly weapons. Love, affection, quietness, kindness, speaking the truth in love. This will hurt really Bad as well, it is no guarantee of anything except Jesus will honor you for honoring The Father. Please pray for my marriage as well sister.
My husband has had three affairs in the past four years and is now on his fourth. Of the first three, two were in person, but there were sexual relations only in one; the other was emotional and sexual through writing of stories. She is a tutor at the college we both attend. The other was telephonic and online and he thought he was in love until he realized it was a scam to get money from him.
This fourth affair is telephonic and online with verbal sex. I felt like I had been kicked in the stomach and my emotions were rattled so hard I felt as though I could just fall into a heap on the floor and cry until I could cry no more tears. I love my husband and took my marriage vows before God and I meant them. I want our marriage to survive these invasions of Satan. Please pray for me that I stand firm in my relationship with God and fight Satan for my husband, and for my husband that God will touch his heart and his mind and open his eyes to the final judgment he will face when Christ returns.
Amen. Praying for you to receive comfort and love from Christ and fellow Believers, also, for wisdom, skill, bad discretion on what to do.
My husband has left. I need the strength from God to remain faithful to His will and to wait patiently to see His plans, not mine and not my husband’s. God, bring my husband’s heart back to You so his desires will be from the Holy Spirit. Help me to love unconditionaly and to know I deserve the same. Lord, bring us close; allow us to be reconciled to You and one another. Amen.
What if a spouse has confessed to being unfaithful and wild but has asked God to forgive them? Told spouse they would not lie if they wanted to know the truth but fear it would cost our marriage. Spouse says it is best to leave it in the past then. Has the spouse that has repented to God been forgiven? Do you pressure someone that feels if they know the who, what, when, and all the details keep you from heaven if you truly have repented and came back from backsliding?
Kay, please read I John 1:9: “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” The person who repents of their sin is forgiven, based on this verse, and God will do the work to cleanse then from being unrighteous. Perhaps it would be helpful to see a Christian counselor together.
Hello and God Bless, I am writing this prayer request and invite you to share it to help others. Please pray for my spouse concerning social media. We’re both Christians and are newlyweds (almost a year). Prior to marrying my husband I had no idea how much time he spent on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. What also disturbs me is that he gets into doctrinal debates that don’t glorify Christ. If anything he comes off as belligerent and hostile. As well, he repeatedly posts details about his past under the guise of ministering to others when his target audience isn’t even online. Also, he has also had inappropriate communication with other women online (flirting) and just seems consumed by social media. Because of his actions and lack of a private prayer life I don’t feel comfortable supporting a ministry he feels called to when he isn’t walking right. I’ve talked to him about this and made it very clear that I am not comfortable and why. We’ve argued about, I’ve prayed and constantly feel blindsided and uncovered. Please pray for us as I want the Lord’s will to be done. I hate to see him suffer for operating in carnality. I’d hate to be going against God.
