I’m a woman who betrayed and cheated on her husband before and after marriage and got pregnant by those men. Our marriage was troubled by rejection and disconnection cycles where I would reject him sexually. I recently found out that two of the four children were not my husband’s and he has filed for divorce, moved me out of the house and wants custody of all the children. I also found out that my rejections triggers were linked to my being molested as a little girl. The affairs happened in the year before we got married as well as the first year of our 20 years of marriage, while rejection cycles were throughout the years.
He had suspected throughout the years that the first born child could not be his after he had been told by his mother to check the paternity of the child. He had constantly indirectly questioned me about her conception and even suggested DNA testing but I never took it seriously. The DNA testing that was done was after I had agreed to have them performed in order to set a condition of DNA confirmation of anyone who wished to benefit from a trust we were planning to set up for the kids. This happened after a year of no sexual intimacy for a year after another rejection cycle. We had reconnected and were working on reconciling.
During this period, matters were made worse by the fact that I lied to my husband when he asked me if I had had any sexual relations with other men besides him. I did not want to hurt him any further as he was visibly pained by my rejection cycles, and I kept postponing telling him the truth. Little did I know that he had been collecting background information about my life, reading through my journals, tapped my phone and laptop, and was planning my exposure in front of our families. On the day I had thought we were seeking help from our family members during a family meeting we had called, he exposed my lies and infidelity to all. This resulted in a planned intervention by his aunt and sister, and sessions with him where I had opened up and told the truth.
During these sessions he recorded all the conversations and listened to them on his own. He proceeded and escalated the separation agreement to a divorce request. I have acknowledged my sin to God and have repented of my sins, and my husband has told me he is willing to forgive me. I am asking for prayers for God and my husband to forgive me and for God to restore our marriage, and to give me strength to wait on Him while He restores us both first to Him, and then to each other and the family. I know my husband is deeply hurt and feels betrayed and cheated by me. I pray for God to heal him and deliver me and to mend our marriage.
My prayer request is I want to get a good wife and have kids along with financial ability to sustain family needs. A-men.
Please can you pray for my marriage, my wife has had an affair with a church leaders son for 6 months, the intamacy in our marriage was always me pursuing my wife. I was refused many many times and gave into temptation and watched pornography. I never wanted a substitute for my wife but that’s what it became with her rejection. My marriage is really badly damaged by both aspects of betrayal but I didn’t want fulfilment from anyone but my wife. We are now living separate and she does not wish to talk about anything and doesn’t even contact our children.
I’m in a mess and don’t know what to do; we have been married 15 years and I don’t want to lose her, even after all the heartache. I’m not a Christian man but I do hold a lot of Christian values; I accept I’m a weak sinner for watching impure videos, but I never wanted those – I wanted my wife. And it seems she wanted another man. I am fully repentant of my ways and I try fight this but alone is really difficult. Please pray that God will repair my marriage, I need my wife and my family needs repair :( I’m lost without my wife and I know if we had transparency things would have been easier and could have been resolved. Is this the price I pay for wanting to be intimate with my spouse and her refusal caused us both to sin?
Please pray for my marriage of 14 years to my high school sweetheart. She has battled an addiction problem for years but I never gave up. She has finally accepted and received help. Unfortunately, recovery has changed more than her being sober. She has completely lost hope and love for us. She has moved on to someone new in recovery without any effort to make our marriage work. 14 years I stood by her, unconditional love and support. Trying to be the Godly Husband she deserved. Why can she not give us a chance before moving on. It hurts so. Please restore our marriage dear Lord.
Please pray for me and my husband. He struggles with intimacy and after we are together he becomes very standoffish and distant. He won’t have anything to do with me for a few days after. We are both Christians and he says he wants to change but doesn’t know why he does it. I am feeling frustrated with him and God right now, as I feel stuck in a cycle.
My husband of 13.5 years wrongly divorced me on 4/20/18. I did not want it or deserve it. He has been in some type of mental crisis since January of this year, and has been depressed for many years due to a work injury sustained more than a decade ago that ruined his career. He says he has visions of me with other men back in 2002 & 2003 before we married when we lived together (he and I were living in sin at that time, but for some reason he doesn’t classify our relationship then as wrong, I think because he had given me a ring). He convinced himself that I did all sorts of immoral things back then with many, many men. There are so many accusations of all different kinds, too many to list here. When I tell him those things are not true he says I am lying because I am too ashamed to admit the things I did.
I love him deeply and desire reconciliation. He says he desires reconciliation too but that he does not believe me or trust me anymore and that he has no faith in me and cannot be married to me if I’m not going to be honest with him. He says he feels like our whole marriage was based on these lies that he accuses me of. He says he cannot forgive me for things until I am honest about them. I am being honest. I didn’t do them. I have asked him to let me take a polygraph but he insists that I am such a liar that I would be able to fool the test and pass it. He knows the bad things I did when I was younger, and he uses all those things against me to build his case of accusations.
My past history, before 1999 or 2000, was promiscuous and lustful, and an abomination before God. I have repented and asked God for forgiveness — I am no longer that person. My husband uses all that he knows of my life against me somehow. He believes he is right in his own eyes. He says that he doesn’t have to have hard proof, that he already knows in his heart that I did all of these things. But I truly did not do the things he accuses me of. God knows that I did not do the things he accuses me of.
I feel like Satan has complete control of his heart and mind because of these visions he talks of, the depraved accusations, the nasty, vulgar things he says to me and names he calls me, but yet he says that he has been praying to God about this and that God told him to flee from me. I thought he was a Christian, we used to go to church together, but not regularly anymore. We have both been baptized, but I can’t say that either of us has ever known true conversion like you hear some folks talk about how they were so greatly changed when they got saved. Is it possible to think you are praying to God and really not be? Now that he has divorced me, he is beginning to try to seek affection from other women he is meeting through online dating sites. Please God, spare us this. Please save him from this path of destruction. Please work mightily in him and correct him back into your will. Please cover him with your restraining grace. Please do not turn him over to his own sinful desires.
I have been crying out to God to please help me since January, but for some reason God allowed the divorce to happen. I understand God allows each of us free will. I pray that God will create in him a clean heart and fill it with his holy spirit and give him humility and forgiveness and conviction of sin, and wisdom to know that I didn’t do those things, and faith hope and love and a desire to be my husband again. Please heal him & change his heart & mind. Please defeat Satan in our lives and put our marriage back together and let us be a testimony to glorify God.
I am so very heart broken. I need my husband back. I need him in my life. I am terrified that he will meet someone else and marry them and then we’ll never be able to reconcile. Please help us God. Please don’t keep my husband and I apart from each other. He is still my husband in your eyes and I beg of you to renew us and repair us and make our marriage whole again. I meant my vows and I want to be with my husband for the rest of our earthly lives and I pray that if he isn’t saved that you would touch his heart and save him so we can spend eternity with you together. Please draw each of us closer to you, let us each experience true conversion, and bring us closer to each other, kindle a strong desire in both of us to reconcile and rebuild our marriage with you at the center, so that it will never be subject to fall again. Rebuild trust where there is none, restore love and understanding and compassion and desire.
Lord, please increase my faith and show me that your promises for marriage apply to us, even though I have been divorced once before from a man that I married when I was only 16 years old. I have asked forgiveness for my adultery, and pray for restoration and healing of my second marriage. My husband was never married before. Please God, have mercy on us – we deserve nothing good as we are such sinful people – but I ask that you shower us with your great loving kindness and mercifulness and repair our broken marriage and broken hearts. We’ll give all the glory to you and be eternally grateful. I believe deep down inside my husband still loves me because he cries about a lot still – we both cry for each other a lot.
Please Lord, help my husband to get past this stuff somehow, either to understand it isn’t true, or to come to a place where he can just forgive me for whatever he thinks and put it out of his mind. Please soften his heart and bring him to a place where he can do that and choose to reconcile our marriage. The restoration of our marriage will be such an amazing and powerful testimony and will touch many around us, as those who know of our circumstance will know that ONLY the hand of God could repair such a mess.
Need a prayer to save my marriage due to financial hardship. Need god to guide and give me direction.
My wife left me few days ago. So we are separated now. We have been married for two and half years now. She packed her stuff and left to a different place. We were missionaries in a different country than ours. We are also from different countries and cultures. We loved each other a lot. Things started on our honeymoon; I started to be very controlling in terms of money spending and emotionally as well. Things became tougher than before. I started to use sharp words to describe her. No affairs. I made bad decisions. Last month she told me she doesn’t love or trust me anymore. I was so stubborn about going for counseling as I was very controlling in every way. I still love here. I’m praying now to God to change my heart and to know him in a better way. Please pray for us. Thanks
Please pray for my wife that she loves God first and her love for me and our marriage will stay together. We have 2 innocent little babies but I said some destructive words and she said she can’t take verbal abuse. I’ve never cheated or harmed her but with my words. I truly love her and believe God put us together for a reason. I didn’t mean to hurt her.
My wife and I have been married for over 25 years. We have two children, aged 14 and 11. We got engaged after leaving university and married shortly after I started my first job. My job has been an extremely demanding one, with reporting deadlines and tasks that crop up again and again every month. I often worked long hours and weekends. It has been really hard but my wife has always supported me mightily and I always saw us as a team getting through it all. I felt like a man trapped in quicksand, unable to free himself and needing outside help to escape.
In January my wife returned from her annual trip away to see her family. She always takes the kids away for the two weeks of school holidays. I have never been able to go due to work requirements. While she was away God spoke to me and told me I had to change things. He said it wasn’t too late but it was the eleventh hour. Other things happened at work that allowed me to leave work on time and to make other changes. It has been like awakening from a dream.
At the same time my wife wouldn’t take my phone calls. When she returned from the trip away she told me she wanted to separate. She felt neglected and that I hadn’t been there to support her when she needed me. There are other things throughout the past on both sides of course (but no abuse and no infidelity).
I told her what God had said and how He was changing me and how my work-life balance had been corrected. The thought of losing her is a huge, alarming wake-up call. I would do anything to rescue our relationship and regain her love. Now I have escaped from the work trap I have come home on time every day for the last four months – something I’ve never achieved in the last 25 years. I am spending more time with the family and doing more jobs around the house.
It is now May and things have not improved. We still live together and sleep in the same bed. We talk about superficial things and she still wears her wedding ring. I am hugely grateful for all these things, but there are no hugs and kisses, no words of love, no affection. I can feel her anger and hurt bubbling just under the surface. She says she feels trapped and wants to be free. She is not interested in counseling or repairing the relationship. She wants to be gone and I am scared she will go. We also have communication issues. She doesn’t talk much and I fill the empty gaps too much.
I believe God can’t do anything until she gives Him permission to heal things. I think she needs to forgive me, in order to release the anger in herself and let her heart be healed. Yet not what I think, please pray for God to do whatever is needed in the truth of the situation. Regardless of what happens, I want her to be okay and not in this way, but of course I want restoration of our marriage and her love. I don’t want to split up and all that entails for us and especially the kids. I do not believe in divorce. I am going to God every day and asking Him to change me to be the man she needs and wants, and that He wants too.
Please pray for us (A & K). Please pray that God will do whatever He can. Please pray for healing, reconciliation, forgiveness, love, perseverance and restoration. Please let her see me with eyes of love. Please soften her heart to me. Please let her reconsider. Please let her see I would do anything, other than separate. Please save our marriage and let her find her lost love for me.
Good day, please pray for my marriage, just found out my husband has a two year old son outside our marriage. I’m falling apart and don’t know what to do.
I need help in restoring my marriage. My husband has been taken over by the devil. I ain’t by no means on the right track with God. But I know he is real. My husband is telling me he hates me and wants a divorce. He is giving me just a few days to get out of our home before he hires a lawyer. I know it’s just the work of the Devil. Even my sister-in- law says he looks like he is full of demons. I know this isn’t my husband! I am asking you all to please pray with all your hearts for the Lord to overcome him. And pray for myself to drop this nasty habit I have (the Lord knows what I am talking about). And pray that God restore the love that has been lost stronger than it ever has been. I ask that God bless my in-laws that are talking my husband against our marriage and to forgive them as well for being controlled by satan and to please silence their negativity towards me, my kids, and our marriage. I REALLY REALLY NEED A MIRACLE AND I NEEDED IT LAST WEEK. Please help.
I have been married for 10 years. I have a husband that will not go to church. I packed up the whole house and left two years ago for 1 week. One of the promises my husband made was to go to church sometimes with me. Of course this has not happened. He has also been abusive before and during the marriage. I have suggested marriage counseling or attending church together. He suggests I go to counseling alone since I have issues. The marriage is like a merry-go- round. The harder I try to do what is right and have a relationship with God the more opposition I’m met with. He constantly tells me to go to church maybe they can teach me to be a better wife…I’m close to giving up, trying to keep my family together. I am tired, I am weary; I do know what to do.
I would like a prayer request to save my marriage when I got out of the military because I was hurt by an IED in Iraq. I became addicted to pain medicine and in 2012 I became clean and sober. I met my wife in 2014 and in 2015 until a few months ago I became the old addicted person I was before. My wife has stood by me even though she didn’t need to be for all that time. We just had our 3 year anniversary in March and it was a diaster because I was all messed up.
God please help me to overcome my addiction so that I can be the servant and husband that you want me to be. I love my wife very much and we are talking again but I know she has doubts and I understand that 100%; just pray for my healing of addiction and pray for me and my wife that we can become best friends again because we have lost that. I just want to be happy and I want my loving and caring wife to be happy. Also dear Lord please help us so that we can become closer to you.
