16 years of emotional abuse. But I believe that God isn’t finished. It is time for fasting and prayer. No physical abuse but in emotional crisis. This involves our children.
Praying that you will continue to seek God and let Him guide you in a way that helps you make the best decision on how to protect your children and yourself from this abusive relationship until changes are made. Do not think that emotional abuse is any less damaging than physical abuse …and please do not wait for the abuse to become physical before you follow through on God’s promptings/provision. May you trust God to give you peace of mind and the boldness to do what is best for you and your children.
Heavenly Father we come before you to thank you for all you have done and continue to do in our lives and marriage. We come before you today, God, asking for a stronger bond of unity in our marriage covenant. Father we ask that you will give us the ability to be a united front for you letting nothing come between us.
And may we each do our part to make this so. Amen!
Dear marriagemissions prayer warriors, Please pray for my broken marriage and my wife of 14 years. She has filed for divorce proceedings and I received the letter of intended divorce proceedings on 6th of March. With much regret in hindsight, 95% of the fault is due to me and my failings as a husband and father of our 2 children (daughter aged 12, son aged 9). I have caused her much hurt and insecurities over the years, which I never realized, and I took her for granted. She has been a wonderful mother and wife over our household all these years, shouldering much burden and worries while her husband (me) who is a foolish dreamer has been stuck in another dimensional reality, chasing after deluded career fantasies. Financially I haven’t been the best provider as well due to my poor choices.
Your eye opening articles “Why Some Spouses Give Up” and “Reconciling with a Wife Who Has Hardened Her Heart” has accurately described my failings and the depth of them for the past 14 years. Understandably, she finally has had enough and lost all hope of change in me, and decided to get out of this marriage, which she claims is meaningless with no actual partnership. Her spirit and her heart is completely closed off to me now, and no matter what I say or do, just doesn’t cut it and she has firmly decided divorce is the only way out for her.
To be honest the situation looks bleak. I’ve been trying hard to salvage our marriage in every way I can, and now I’m fighting the impending divorce on my knees daily in prayers. I am hanging on in faith now, and she will not respond to any church elder’s counseling nor is willing to go for marital counseling with me. She will only tell me coldly now, “I am done”, “please spare me all these” and “I no longer have feelings for you.”
We both attend Church with our children, but the past few years I could sense her drifting away from God (though I’m the one to talk). She has been hoping to see a change in me the past 6 years but the change never came until I am awakened now, but she has already given up all hope some time ago. This is all my fault. Firstly I never put Christ in the centre of my marriage, and I failed to guard my family spiritually as servant leader of the household all these years. I have unknowingly allowed Satan to gain foothold into my marriage and my household. I am now filled with extreme remorse and regret and I will repent. I am willing to surrender my all to God for His refining and molding of me, to be the husband and father He wants me to be.
Our son was diagnosed with ADHD early this year and I realized that there is a high chance that I have ADHD as well based on the articles that suggest ADHD are highly familial and hereditary. Looking back on my own life, the ADHD traits are certainly there, however, I cannot be absolutely certain if ADHD has been a contributing factor or is it really just me and my passive personality. I would very much like to seek psychiatrist evaluation, but in my country of residence the system is poorly equipped for adult ADHD. There is a long waiting list to get an appointment.
At this point of time, the situation looks bleak and I should probably make plans to move out on my own soon. Thinking back of the damage I’ve done, what is the right thing to do? Do I let her go to put her out of her misery? Or do I stand for the marriage with the hope for reconciliation?
I really want this marriage to be healed and restored, and if I’m given another chance, I will do it differently this time with God in the centre of it. Please pray for my marriage and my wife. Thanks.
Praying that you will take a step back and focus on your relationship with Christ and doing what you need to do as a man and father. Praying that as you make the necessary changes in your life – your wife will see your sincerity and know it’s not just a phase and give you and the marriage a second chance. Also praying that no matter what happens- you be the best father you can to your children and continue to grow in Christ. You never know what God has in store for your future!
Thank you for your prayers Melodee.
You’re welcome.
Please pray for restoration and healing in Markus and Kiana’s marriage. They are both young Christians and have been married two years. She’s planning on filing, Thursday. I pray for a peace and softening upon both of their hearts.
Praying that they both take a step back, seek God and focus on making their individual selves happy that does not conflict with godly living… trust God to make them whole and not have unrealistic expectations of each other. Also praying that they will seek counseling and/or the advice of a more seasoned Christian couple that lives to please God that can help them sort out some things and let them see themselves and marriage realistically but from a better perspective -so that divorce does not seem like their only option. And may they both put on the full armor of God to fight against the enemy’s attacks on them and their marriage …knowing that with God they will be victorious.
I was looking outside my marriage for attention. There was no affair but it’s just as bad with texting. I don’t want my husband to leave. My children are devastated. I love him and I want to heal our marriage and our bond.
Praying that you will continue to ask your husband for forgiveness – ask God for forgiveness and forgive yourself. Trust God to work in and on your husband …keep being the mom your kids know you to be. Praying that you go deeper in your faith so that when the need for attention arises, you’re comfortable enough to discuss it with your husband and respond appropriately even if he doesn’t make any effort to reassure you. Give this time and let God lead and direct you and believe it will get better until it does.
Please pray for Shirley, Clifton and Stan. Also please pray for Sherrie, Bradley, Samuel, Hamp(Sir), Donovan, Dexter, Tabitha, Jamie, Wali and Doug. Damar needs prayer along with Marc, Brian and Sean plus Ansol and Lance. Aaliyah needs prayer plus Gloria, Emmanuel and Sir II. Nigel, Aniger and Niger needs prayer and so does Carrie, Samarrha and Knowledge. With the greatest regards we do send these prayer requests and ask for help. Thank you very much in advance we do give praise.
Praying that all of you experience God’s love and care in ways that make you love and serve Him all the more… may your faith in Him continue to grow as you are blessed and are a blessing to others.
Please pray for my marriage. It’s dead. We have nothing left and there is so much conflict. I don’t have any more hope. I need a miracle. I’ve caused most of the problems. Please pray God changes me into the wife my husband needs. We’ve been married 31 years.
Praying that you will focus on your relationship with Christ and let Him change you into who you need to be; repent; and ask for forgiveness from your husband. Trust God to work on your husband. Seek marital counseling and work together to rebuild your marriage around God. Praying that the two of you won’t give up and see the conflict as misdirected passion for what was and what could be. Take a step back, dig deep, have honest conversations- with breaks do nothing gets too heated and commit to working together and through this.
Prayers for my husband to release his troubles and concerns to God. To ask for forgiveness. Prayers for our separation to lead to reconciliation and a better marriage. Prayers we both see our faults and give each other “todays” grace. Prayers for our kids who have suffered along with us.
Praying that you both will embrace the process and work together to make the necessary changes to make your marriage work. Trust God with each other and press on until you both realize you are better together than apart and God is continuing to bless you and your marriage.
Please pray for my wife and I. Our marriage is in serious trouble and we need the Lord to soften our hearts. When I said “for better or for worse, until death do us apart” I meant it. 20 years later she wants out; I want to save it. I have faith that it is able to be saved, but we need lots of prayers. Please pray for us. We need his help.
Praying that both of you will seek God and commit to working together to make your marriage work for both of you so that it may be a blessing and not a burden. Praying that as you both seek God, you work through issues/concerns you has as individuals and as a couple. May you both be honest and have the needed conversations that result in making goals/plans to strengthen your bond and follow through with the appropriate actions. In time, may you find that your love is deeper and stronger and that you both desire to keep it going.
Please help me decide if I stand for my delayed wedding or not. I am so tired from standing for my 12 year relationship that involves two children. He has a new woman in his life and suddenly our wedding got delayed and everything changed after she showed up. We have battled against spiritual warfare coming from a dark person that we didn’t know about for a long time.
Praying that you will seek God and honestly assess this relationship and compare it to what the Bible says a husband should be. Praying that you will not ignore what is happening and has happened. May you trust God in your decision making and know that your husband should be a man that believes in God, will make you and your children a priority and desire to spend his life with you as much as you wish to share your life with him. Your husband should be a man that encourages you to be your best and who wants the best for you- he should be a man that helps you grow in faith because his love for you reminds you of his God loves you. And while he won’t be perfect, he owns up to his mistakes and seeks forgiveness from God and you and because of your love for God and him, you will forgive him. And you both realize that you have to choose love and each other daily. Please don’t settle for less!
My husband left me on March 4th while I was with a friend. No reason other than he said he had to be alone. Keeps saying he still loves me but figured he’d break my heart now so he won’t do it in the future. I now have to move in with my parents and put everything in storage.
He’s a wounded army vet with a mother who does nothing but tear him down. He overcame alcohol abuse and was just starting to finally love himself, then it’s like something snapped in him. He was in an internal conflict days before he left. He believes all he will ever do is hurt me and had to be alone in life. He was raised in religion full of guilt and condemnation.
I had a dream a few days ago with my husband being healed and him asking to have a baby. I don’t know if I should trust that it’s from God.
My step grandma is a prayer warrior and said God told her there will be no divorce and that the right person will get through to him but it will take time.
I’m afraid to hope too much and get my heart broken, but I know God has this. I need prayer to help me not try to “help” God to what he’s going to do and proper discernment so that I’m not lead on the wrong path. He’s already filed for divorce.
Praying that you will not live in fear and realize you have a say in the marriage as well. Trust God to give you the words you need to talk with your husband and whomever both of you trust to get you over this hurdle. Be honest with him about how it hurts, but it’s not unbearable and remind him that since you are now one he’s hurting himself just as much as he is hurting you. Continue to pray for your husband’s healing and that his relationship with Christ deepens. Find a marriage counselor that also do individual sessions for both of you and don’t give up the fight for your marriage.
My wife of 28 years and myself have always kept God in center of our marriage. We have served in the local church our entire marriage faithfully. About a year ago we found ourselves burned out and stepped away from the church we always put God out of the center of our relationship. Now she says she is thinking of leaving the marriage and living life without me. Please pray we allow God to be back in the center of us and He will restore our marriage. Thank you.
Praying for you and your wife to be rejuvenated and that you find yourselves in love with Christ and the church (with boundaries) and each other. Praying for the marriage to persevere and for you both to utilize whatever resources are available to help you overcome this season together.
If you would please pray; my wonderful wife of 13 yrs has asked for separation. I’m 100% at blame. Your articles have been a great resource to seek guidance. Pray she is moved to open her spirit to see my efforts are genuine so she may be moved to end this separation before we drift farther apart and she receives the peace she needs even if it’s without me.
Praying that you have made genuine changes that make you more Christ-like and not just to get your wife back. Also praying that as you both seek God and your relationships with Him deepen, you will find that your love for each other is more tolerant/abundant and cling together.
I’m in my second marriage. It has been filled with emotional abuse, verbal abuse, the occasional physical abuse and neglect. It came to a head last weekend when my husband hit me giving me a black eye and I called the police. He was arrested and released on bail. I asked for some time apart for healing (my ultimate goal is REAL change and reconciliation). He agreed at first leaving me with the 4 kids (two each from previous ranging from 13-21).
He has been in regular contact since the arrest and even though he agreed to give me space he came home 6 days later saying he has nowhere to go and God is closing the door on time apart (he has been going to church several times this past week since it happened). I feel like this is a violation of my trust and lack of respect for my boundaries. I need God’s wisdom on if we should be in the same household, if I should leave, etc.
Praying that you will continue to seek God on this and not put yourself or children in harm’s way. Your husband has violated your trust and is still making demands on you- praying that you are able to forgive him, but from a distance. As long as his heart is hard and he has not made the necessary changes, this is not what God has intended for your marriage – you cannot be one if he does not love you as he loves himself. Be wise and honor God, do what is necessary to keep the children and you safe as peacefully and kindly as possible- joining you in praying for God to send the right resources and people your way to help.
Please pray for my marriage; we are facing financial issues, and my family should accept my marriage, and it should be a blessing marriage without any issues.
Praying that you are able to overcome your financial obligations and that the two of you work together by the grace of God to overcome the challenges you will face.
