For J my husband to choose me over family, living a bad life style and keep him in it. For him to move away from his brothers and uncle and get old job back and a home for just us, for our love restored and contact, in Jesus name, amen.
Praying with you for your husband to honor his vows, make you a priority and make good decisions regarding his employment and the company he keeps.
Please help me pray for my marriage. My husband has filed for divorce and we have the court date scheduled for July 30th. I know it’s not God’s will for us to get a divorce, but I don’t know what else to do other than fasting and praying for God to save him and remove the scales from his eyes.
Amen! Keep fasting and praying and trusting and God to work everything out for the best – do not get discouraged by what is happening, even if the divorce comes to past, know God is with you and giving you grace for every moment.
Hello! I need an urgent miracle. I need God to intervene in my marriage and my husbands life. I ask that you pray that God touch his heart right now and allow him to return home. He left because he had a warrant but the case is now over and dismissed. I need God to bring him back home and allow everyone to stay out our business.
I am also praying that God remove all anger, bitterness, resentment and save his soul. I need a suddenly so that he changes his heart and mind right now. Please, he is so angry and has animosity. He has now been in rehab 90 days and comes home on weekends. Some weekends are good but then satan creeps in. I pray and fast daily, currently in a 24 hour fast. Last week was good then this week barely any communication. I need urgent prayer.
Praying that you continue to see God at work in your lives and that your husband also recognizes his need for Christ. Praying that he will surrender to Christ and let Him make the necessary changes to his heart and apply the techniques he’s learning in rehab to his life.
We had a very bad fight last night while he was intoxicated. He left and has not come back home and our marriage is to last till death do us apart. I’m worried and I just want peace in our home. Our children were scared from the yelling which broke my heart. I don’t know what to do at this point. Help me God.
Praying that your husband does not use alcohol as a way to deal with it cover up issues he needs to confront and overcome, but leans on his faith and allows God to help him. If he doesn’t have a true relationship with Christ, then I pray for his salvation. Also praying that the two of you are able to come together and honestly talk in a peaceful and loving manner – fighting for your marriage and in a way that’s fair and not destructive. Praying that God’s love, peace and joy surround your family and that you continue to persevere as long as you do not put yourself and children in harm’s way.
Pray for my marriage children and husband after affair. Please pray that the Lord will soften his heart and realize he is breaking the hearts of his spouse and children. Allow him to come to terms with his wrongs and understand that the Lord is willing to forgive and bring him home to his family. My heart is broken I need peace and hope. We have 18 years and 2 teenage boys that need foundation and honesty.
Praying against the impact of your husband’s affair on your marriage and family. Also praying that he repents and seeks to right his wrongs by the power of the Holy Spirit. May the two of you both be willing to rebuild your marriage by being open and honest – dealing with whatever issues may be a stumbling block and strengthen your bond. May you all grow stronger in Christ and be reassured of His love for you.
My husband is in ministry but refuses to be in a relationship with me. His ministry is the first priority and any and all others. He doesn’t see me. The marriage has broken down to a point where if I bring a concern to him he will either walk out on me, give me the silent treatment or become incredibly angry and then blame me for being controlling or making him angry. His perspective is the only perspective and when I entreat him to see it from my perspective he will walk out and leave me for the full day. When he comes home, He will try to ‘brush it under the carpet’ and act like nothing happened or blame me for not receiving his kisses and tells me what is wrong with you?
I feel I have no one to turn to as when we go to counseling he is able to convince people all is well and that I’m just too sensitive. But, God knows what actually is happening in our home. I feel alone and manipulated and controlled. He’s a good guy so my children also make it about me. When leadership talks to me they are harsh and take his word and perspective and I’m left with a huge emotional bag.
Please Pray God would give me wisdom on how to deal with the neglect and criticism and anger and how others so believe him and skirt around me. I am a committed Christian who has studied the Word extensively to try to work on ‘my issues’ but the brick wall is still there. If I try to express, it feels like he takes one of those bricks and throws it back at me. I’m just left standing and wounded. He pushed me recently to the point I physically was weak and then told me I had a demon. Later he told me it didn’t happen and I made it up. He says I don’t respect him and since I don’t he will not adhere to the boundaries we had set in our marriage recently. I’m praying to God to open my eyes and teach me how to live in this environment.
Oh Ann, my heart hurts for you because it sounds like you belong to a church that has a culture that honors man above God. These churches give God, Christianity and marriage a bad name and are extremely abusive to wives, especially the wives of ministers. While it is solely up to you (and how God is leading you) in how you wish to proceed – it is my prayer that you sincerely respond to the tugging and pull of God on your heart. He is showing you that this is not right and I pray that when the opportunity arises- you separate yourself from this situation until your husband has a change of heart.
Ann, How my heart goes out to you! I have seen where a pastor or missionary or someone in authority in the Christian community can slide within counseling settings where it appears that they have no (or very little) fault in the matter. The spouse can appear that they cause the majority of the problems within the marriage. I’m so sorry that you find yourself in this place. But please don’t give up hope, and don’t stop looking for help in your marriage problems. God can open the eyes of the blind. He can reveal truth, and He can shed new light onto old problems so that solutions can be found.
I highly recommend that you keep praying, and searching for help. We have a topic on this web site dedicated to Pastors and Missionary Marriages. Here is the link to get to it: https://marriagemissions.com/about-us-2/pastors-and-missionary-marriages-links-and-resource-descriptions/. You’ll find several links to ministries that minister to Pastor’s wives in the “Pastors and Ministry Marriages Links and Recommended Resources” part of that topic. Plus there are a few articles that may help you as you read them. Please check them out. I know that Romans 12 Ministries works with pastor’s wives and others, as well (I just talked to them last week about that). They provide counseling and so do others.
Please know that just because it hasn’t worked for you up to this point, it doesn’t mean that you can’t find help in another setting. Also, it would be important to tell the ministry/counselor right away (without your husband being there at that point) about the experiences you have had previously with counselors–that your husband can appear to be one way in the counseling setting, but is different at home. They should understand that type of situation if they are experienced in counseling at all.
I pray this helps in some way. Please know that there are many of us who are praying for you. We are confident that God will make a way to help you as you look to Him for discernment, wisdom, and help. Please hang in there, pray, and go with God in this.
Please please pray for Holy Ghost conviction to come upon my wife, Tammy. She loves me and I love her but the family has put a major strain on our marriage and we have been separated for almost two years. She is getting ready to walk away from the marriage due to family pressure and we both still love each other. Very much. Her name is Tammy and my name is Mark. I truly believe that God can perform a miracle and save my marriage. I desperately covet your prayers. I’m praying for every other broken marriage and circumstance where a broken heart was burdened to place a request here. May God bless you all and thank you.
Praying that your marriage continued to persevere- that the two of you continue to trust God and give your burdens to Him and don’t give up. Praying that deep down you both know ending your marriage won’t make life easier, so you both take ownership and do what is necessary to make the marriage work.
Please pray for Michelangelo, that he finds his way home and becomes the person he used to be before he made wrong decisions and we can share again our life. This would be a miracle. THANKS
Praying that he repents of his sins, surrenders to God and seeks to rebuild your marriage with you.
Please pray for my husband D and our marriage. D has lied or withheld things from me many times in the 30 years we’ve been married. He encouraged my mom and I to be tri-owners of her bank account when she was getting older and less able to keep an eye on her investments. Then, he transferred $75,000 from her account into our account and used it to pay off debt, our daughter’s college expenses, and other things. I’m still not clear about it as his story changed. He hid this from me for 6 months, until it was time for me to renew my mom’s rent rebate. I discovered her extremely lower balance and was really upset and explained it to him. He looked me in the eye and lied. Our daughter was in the room on the computer. It wasn’t until I was about to call the bank to ask about this, that he admitted he transferred the money.
Just recently, we arrived home, grabbed the mail, only to find a letter from a lawyer. I opened it, and it was a notice of an intent to collect overdue school district taxes from last year. We’ve alternated handling these over the years. He was currently responsible. I asked him about the letter and he explained that he made a decision to not pay them because he didn’t think we’d be living here much longer. We eventually plan to sell our house, but have no set time frame other than in the next few years as we did some remodeling and fixing up. He went on to say that he set up a payment plan. He said this all happened between January and now. Then, a few days later, I found an application he filled out dated a few days earlier applying for us to be considered a hardship case and he entered his preferred payment amount as $50 per month for a 4,500 + bill plus the new tax bill would be arriving in a few months. When I questioned him, he always seems to have excuses as to why I wasn’t included.
This time he said he’d been “trying” to get me to talk about finances for 6 months and I was always too busy. Not true. We had just had a conversation about finances as per his request to discuss potential dental work and braces for me and how we’d pay for that treatment. When we were done, I asked him if there was any other finance stuff he needed to discuss. Nothing!
He also does not believe in the Biblical principles of caring for our money. A few years ago, he came to me to discuss refinancing our mortgage and car lease for a much higher amount of money and bigger monthly payment. I agreed, because it was for a much better interest rate and we couldn’t afford to pay off our car lease and purchase the car outright as planned. But, as I look back in hindsight, I feel he keeps leading us downhill into more and more debt.
Our only option is to sell our house. I realize we had planned to do so, but with all the fixing up we’ve been doing and the fact that we live in a quiet country neighborhood, I was hoping to stay a little while longer and enjoy the new paint, newer bathrooms, etc. In addition to this financial infidelity and lack of good financial sense, he does not lead our family spiritually, will not read any of the Christian books I have on marriage, agreed to read the Couples Who Pray book and participate in the prayer challenge, but did nothing. That was 1 month ago. He didn’t ask me for the book. He didn’t take the book off of the bookshelf in our bedroom where all of my faith and marriage books are located.
I asked him about this yesterday. He said he forgot. So, I asked him if he had forgotten about it every day for the last month and didn’t think about it at all. Yes!! He doesn’t read his Bible. I set up a daily devotional on his computer by Joyce Meyer. He told me yesterday, he doesn’t read it every day, and I’ve been suggesting that maybe Joyce’s devotionals are more geared toward women and he might consider looking for something that is specifically geared toward men and a man’s specific struggles, and he took that to mean that I think Joyce’s devotionals are “wrong” for him to look at.
D, doesn’t show true remorse for all the dishonesty and unilateral decisions regarding our finances. He has not apologized for many of the incidents. Or if he did, it was a simple, “I’m sorry” with no feeling or emotion. No sense of deep sorrow at causing me pain.I talk to him about this and he simply stares at me and says he has apologized. I do know and believe that I need to forgive him whether or not he offers a sincere apology, but it’s all the more difficult. I
I just can’t seem to get through to him. I feel like he lacks integrity and spiritual maturity or the motivation or Holy Spirit indwelling to seek advice and answers on his own. And as a result, of all of his deception, lack of integrity, lack of a strong faith, betrayal of my trust (with no work to try to build my trust up again) I am beginning to feel contempt for him. So, I ask you to pray for D, me, and our marriage–pray for D to grow spiritually, to develop integrity, to make an effort to work on the struggles in our relationship, to be transparent and work to rebuild trust and to open my heart to welcoming him back in.
It’s hard to move on and continue to try to trust him without him showing remorse and not attempting to rebuild the trust he has destroyed. So, please pray that God will guide me, open my heart, and help me to forgive my husband’s behaviors and try to move past these struggles. Thank you!
Praying that you will continue to seek God in how to live peaceably with your husband and continue to petition Him for your husband to be open with you and in his decision making process. Also praying that you will continue to grow in faith and pray that your husband fully submits to God. Praying that you will turn your frustrations over to God and continue in a loving and kind manner keep the lines of communication open with your husband.
Pray to get nice life partner.
Praying that you will be found by a husband that loves you as Christ loves the church and cherished you and that you are a blessing to him.
Please pray for more strength, love and unity in our marriage so we can walk together as one in ministry and family.
For me and my husband and family so we can surrender to God as a living sacrifice and obey Him. Me being submissive to my husband joyfully with a sweet and docile heart and faithful spirit.
Praying that the two of you will willingly submit to one another, putting the other first so that you can live as one and in peace. Praying that your home and ministry thrives as you honor the Lord.
My husband had an affair that has lasted off and on for near enough 10 yrs. It resulted in a child. For years I have been willing to accept the child into our home, however now I am not and I know as a Christian this is not right as it’s not the child’s fault. More recently things I didn’t know have come to light and although the affair has now ended and he wants to try to work things out. I am no longer willing.
He has recently recommitted himself to Christ. We have three children together. Throughout the time I always believed this test would be our testimony but now I’m not so sure. I know God can do things bigger and greater than we can think or imagine, but I am broken, literally in pieces. I cannot see a future. I am ready to give up and move on for my own sake and for my children. All prayers are gratefully appreciated.
Praying that now as your husband is committing himself to God and living a godly lifestyle, you can continue to hang in there and reap the benefits of living in a household where God is put first. However, you have endured a lot and I pray that you will take the time to heal from your brokenness and really process all that has transpired. Praying that your husband will extend the same grace and mercy to you as you have extended to him and that test will become part of your testimony.
My wife and I separated in June. We have both broken our vows. I have not been the husband I should have been. We finally met to talk for the first time today since we separated. After 6 hours of talking, we are trying to find a way forward. To renew and restrengthen our relationship. Please include us in your prayers, we both know this is a long difficult road to fix the wrongs we have both made, and your prayers are requested.
Praying that you and your wife will continue on the path of reconciliation and keep moving forward no matter how hard it gets; persevering and finding encouragement along the way. May each day bring you closer to God and one another so that you both become the spouses you desire to be. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Dear Jesus… My name is Anu from india. My husband’s name is Vinod. After our marriage we lived only 20 days, then separated. I am trying to talk to him but he could not take my call. When he did take my call he used bad words only. Now he has filed the divorce petition to court. Next hearing is coming Augest 3. I don’t know what I did. Every time I pray and ask God to restore my marriage and give a happy family life his mother and sister will not accept me in that house. He always takes decisions his sister has determined. Please pray to stop my divorce and that my husband would love me love me. In the name of Jesus….I am suffering from these issues….to change my husband’s attitudes toward me…My request to pray for our marriage to be restored. Amen
Praying that your husband will have an honest conversation with you about the state of your marriage – and give your marriage a chance. Also praying that he honors his marriage vows and choose you over his family. Praying that the two of you will work together by the power of the Holy Spirit to live as one and not divorce.
I am asking for prayers for my wife and I. We are going through tuff times right now. Please pray for the healing of our marriage and pray for me as I travel to meet with counselors this week. Thank you.
Praying that you and your wife will continue to trust and rely on God to sustain you as you face these trials and that your meeting, keep hoping and believing for the best and that your meeting with the counselors goes well.
Lord, I pray that you intervene and urgently speak to my son and soften his heart. Help him be filled with love and peace for his wife, son and entire family again. Take away his hatred and bring forgiveness to his heart; bring him back to the loving/caring son that I’ve always known. Let him see that any other woman/outside influence for the toxic persons they truly are to him.
If he has committed adultery in any way, please guide him to repent now and help him and his wife reconcile and forgive each other. Quickly lead him back to his family, spending more time with them and see that he can be happy once again. Give him the strength to resist temptation and remove divorce from his thoughts and stop all actions he and his wife has started toward separation and divorce. Please Lord, clear his heart and mind and help him back to your path and plan for a righteous life with you and his family. In Jesus name, I plead that you grant this miracle and save my son’s marriage. Amen
Praying with you for your son’s marriage to persevere, honor God and that your son and daughter in law, both be willing participants in putting in the work to make it work.
