Please pray for my husband and I. We’ve been together two years, married only 4 months and have a beautiful 3 month old baby girl. He feels there’s no saving our marriage. I’ve given it all to the Lord and I know it’s in his hands. I’ve begun to focus on bettering myself as a Christian wife and mother. I’ve begun to show him the love that I should have all along, loving those as Christ loves you. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we go through this hard time.
Been married for 12 years and addicted to porn longer than that. Was the victim of childhood sexual abuse from the ages of 7 -17. Wife is aware of abuse. I have been emotionally and verbally abusive to my wife for the duration of our marriage in an attempt to hide my porn addiction. She left recently and took our three kids with her. I am 30 days porn free and on the road to recovery. She is lividly mad and not “in love” with me anymore. More to this but that’s the gist. I still love her and want our family back together. We’re both Christians. Please pray that God softens her heart and helps her heal from the devastation I have caused by being selfish and by lying. I am drawing closer to God through this, but the fear of no reconciliation looms huge right now.
Please pray that my marriage happens only with the person God likes.
On July 11, this year, I posted my prayer request, and told my story under my Name, Ed. Well, as much as I could I had also been compiling material from a very well known, (world renowned), relationship expert, from online, and placing it in a neat little binder complete with number tabs etc., to present to my wife to read. It included an article from this very website as well. “How To Save Your Marriage Alone”.
I had made the initial contact, and he was subsequently sending me his reports via e-mails. It really wasn’t that much, that it would overwhelm her or whatever, and she had already seen a small portion of it and nodded with what I felt was genuine interest, and approval. I asked her what she thought, and she said “Well, it’s pretty interesting”. I thought to myself, that seems like a rather sterile response, but never the less I’d better let it stand.
I’ve been feeling like I’ve been being blamed for everything, and I just didn’t want to rock the boat anymore. Sunday I inadvertently learned that the previous Tuesday, she had already gone to a lawyer and filed for divorce. By the way I had asked her, at one point earlier, “you’re not the type that would just go and file, and then tell me later, or let me find out that way, are you?” Her response was ” NO… I’d never do you that way!”
But that’s just exactly what she did. I was crushed. She knew I was compiling material for her to read and consider. It was that good to me, and after giving at least mental assent to waiting, possibly 6 months to a year, which is what the writer recommends, or at least till I could get it all put together and she had had a chance to read it, she turns and does this. Then she accepts the material from me Saturday and left me with the impression she was going to read it objectively, knowing she’d already been to the attorney’s office and filed. How treacherous is that?
I don’t understand this woman. She’s the woman I’ve been married to for the last 14 years, and have loved with all of my heart, and she’s dealing with me treacherously. She led me on, and allowed me to believe that she would look at this material objectively, and give it serious and genuine consideration. Before making even the mental decision to divorce. All the while not only had she made that decision, she acted on it, and behind my back. How does one fight to preserve his marriage when you’re dealing with someone of this type?
Divorce is a sin, and disobeying God this way has Lifelong consequences. It will affect so many people other than just ourselves. One individual should not have this much personal power at their disposal. I blame our society for this, and our permissive culture, fueled by the lawyers that can’t wait to capitalize on the misfortunes of others in order to butter their bread. We’re all going to pay for this, this is not a good way to go! We must make changes to our laws. People shouldn’t have the right to go around destroying other human beings, at all, much less so totally and completely, and get away with acting with impunity! This is so wrong. I no longer know how to approach God in all of this, or even what to ask for. My head is reeling, and spinning with confusion! I’m destroyed! Please, if you have any ideas of what to do, I could use your input. Your feedback as well as your prayers are highly appreciated.
I would like to pray to God for the healing of my husband Roderick’s conscious and subconscious mind. He had homosexual imaginings and is battling to decide whether to end our marriage or to follow this trap Satan has placed before him. He was abused as a child into doing homosexual deeds and he obeyed in order not to be rejected. Now he thinks maybe he should be a gay as the deeds never felt bad. I STAND FOR MY MARRIAGE UNTIL SATAN LETS HIM GO. I NEED THE DIVORCE BLOCKED, AND MY HUSBAND PROTECTED IN A HEDGE OF THORNS.
My wife has closed her heart and built a wall between us. Please pray that her heart opens up, that real reconciliation is possible. We have 3 children. I have recently renewed my commitment to God and Christ and am praying for her peace and for our reconciliation. Please pray for us.
Hi Andrew, I feel your pain, my wife has closed her heart and built a wall between us as well. We have two daughters. I have also recently renewed my commitment to God and Christ and found this verse in Scripture “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:19) and went out seeking for that other second or third to pray passionately about our marriage reconciliation. I join you in your situation and kindly ask that you join me to pray for our spouses, our children and our marriages to be restored by our Lord
Please for my marriage. I am aged and my parents are worried a lot. Lord, please show me the righteous way to choose the life partner by your will.
Please pray for my relationship. I am a single mother of two, had been married before but the marriage failed, now dating a widower and is a devout christian but don’t stand him. He goes quiet for days and only communicates using social media. He doesn’t bother to phone. It hurts and pains. I don’t want to be a globe trotter. Please Lord, help me. I really love this guy and have given him all my heart.
I need urgent prayer for marriage reconciliation. I pray that my husband, Steve will become deaf, dumb and blind to satan’s lies and that God will place people in his path that will overwhelm him with the truth! I pray Steve’s heart will be softened and he will be down oh his knees before he forces me to go sign legal separation papers, probably next week. I pray that he will finally see the truth when he keeps saying that Gold told him to do this and if he repents and asks forgiveness, as he divorces is family, he’ll be rewarded with a brand new, better life. I declare in Jesus name that this marriage is not over and God will restore it better than before and all of our relationships with Him will be stronger!!! I pray this in Jesus’ strong and precious name! Amen!!
And we agree in Jesus’ name with Trinetta and pray that the Holy Spirit will continually work in her husband’s heart.
My husband James is born again. He has been in prison 20 years. I waited for him all this time. He got out & transfered his parole to Texas, a different State to his mother, without telling me. His mother is controlling him completely and will not let me talk to him. She is telling him to divorce me.
He will not answer my letters & has also deserted his daughter. He never cut the apron strings with her even before marriage. This all seems impossible, he has no job, and does not want to provide. Please pray, I love my husband still.
God Bless Yvonne, I join you in your prayers so that your husband opens his heart to our Lord and to your love, which I believe can bring redemption and renewal for anyone and anything. God Bless and keep believing in The Lord and His Son Jesus Christ
My husband is not a believer. He is apathetic toward spiritual things. He has heard the gospel many times but doesn’t care. At all. Please pray for his hard heart. I desperately desire a Christ-centered marriage. Thank you.
I’m a born again child of God, my hubby is not. He spends most of his time with his male relatives, as friends. He cheated on me twice and I’m battling to trust that he has changed because he still does the same things, keeps the same company. My in laws don’t really have a problem entertaining the mistress’s, be it my hubby’s, his cousin’s or uncle.
Please pray with me that he’ll realise that if he needs to change. He has to surround himself with people with healthy marriages, good energy around him. I can’t separate him from his relatives (friends) but I know they always like to entertain girls & booze. Above all I just want him to know Christ as his Lord and personal saviour. When he fears him and not me he won’t do just about anything. Thank you. God bless you.
Hi all, My wife divorced me legally almost a year ago, and before that we agreed that we would separate for a period in order for her to resolve her anger and unforgiveness. We have two teenage daughters that have been through a lot of stress because of our situation. I’ve been praying for almost two years for her to find forgiveness in her heart for whatever she’s holding against me, so that she could reconnect her heart to the love she once felt for me and that I know is still there, deep down. She is now seeing another person, an unbelieving man, that is 8 years younger than her and that obviously has no family values.
I kindly ask you that you join me in prayer so that she can find true forgiveness in order to see if she really doesn’t love me and to pray for her soul for making these choices. I also kindly ask you to pray for my daughters, so they may find God in their heart, since with my wife’s choice of living away from God’s Word, they have not had a good example so far. God bless us all and thanks for your prayers for my family.
(Prayer request from Kenya) I am requesting for your prayers for my 10 year old marriage. I feel at a loss and relating with my spouse in a way I never thought I would when we first started out. We made promises to each other to always be there for each other. But now we have a communication breakdown, lack of trust, lack of care… I am 9 months pregnant with our 3rd little one and I feel like I have been alone throughout this pregnancy. I think he gave up… and now I am giving up as I consider a separation once the baby is born and I am back on my feet. I know God hates divorce and that is not what I want at all.. But I have experienced depression lack of hope and now fighting to feel the love I know I have for him. How do you love someone who does not act like they care for you anymore? Please pray for us… Liz
I’ve convinced myself that I’m not in love with my husband. As a result I’ve built a wall around me and left my home. Please pray that God opens up my heart to love my husband the way a woman of God should. Please pray that God allows His love to fuel my marriage, provides me with strength to continue and allows His will to be done over my life.
Start by going back home to your husband and pray hard to salvage whatever is left and then pray for your heart to open up to him. God is there with you and he won’t leave, nor forsake you. But I think what you are asking from him can be done better once your husband is in front of you. Try and see the good in him and ignore all the bad. Build your love from the good things that he does for you, your family and other people around you. I’m sure you wouldn’t have married him if you never loved him, so fight for him.
