My husband is struggling with porn, masturbation, lying and inappropriate boundaries with other women. I am constantly fighting anger and resentment and praying for Yahweh’s wisdom in Jesus’ mighty name. I have lost trust and am struggling to respect him.
Praying that your husband surrenders his heart and life to Christ and seeks counseling to help him overcome his addictions. May you continue to trust God and set boundaries that protect your heart from hardening. May you also know your worth as you take comfort in knowing that your true identity is who God says you are. You are His beloved child. Continue to trust and seek God and let Him guide your decision making.
Greetings in Jesus name. Please pray for me. For God to remove the spirit of bad luck in my life and love life. The man that loves me is an angry person and does not know how to express his feelings. Arrogant. But the one that I love is a cheater and loves lots of woman. I pray that I get to marry someone that I love and who loves me the most. A person who knows and fears God who supports me.
Praying that you will continue to trust and seek God in all of your decisions and continue to faithfully serve Him until you are found by your husband. Praying that you will not settle for less than you deserve in marriage and will continue to wait until God reassured you of the man He has for you. Also praying that you will walk in love and peace knowing that God is with you, loves you and has good plans for you not plans of evil or harm.
Good Morning. It is Mariana here from South Africa. I’m so sorry to hear about your situation. Marriage is a 3 woven cord and Jesus is the middle red cord holding all together. Visualize it. There is a book that everything can change in 40 days. If I may give you advice it is to do something kindly for him every day, something that he would never expect you to do. Leave a letter with chocolate on his pillow things like that. Take oil pray the power of the Holy Spirit over that oil and anoint the following and declare and decree (d&d) aloud over every item:
a) Hair brush – (d&d) that the Lord will renew His mind, b) His tooth brush – (d&d) that the kind words, words that builds up, worlds like a honeycomb will come from his mouth – c) Over the water he drinks that He will be filled with the fullness of the Holy Spirit and streams of living water will from his belly – d) His shoes – that he will walk in the ways of the Lord and ask the Lord to direct his every step and path – e) His pillow – that the Lord will speak to him at night like He did when He sent and Angel to wrestle with Jacob – f) His eyes – that he will see you as the Daughter of the Most High God with the face of an Angel. The Lord will close his sight for everything and anything that is not from the Lord. – g) That his thoughts, motives and intentions of his heart and mind, his actions, and reactions will bring Honor and Glory to God. – h) His clothes – that he will smell the fragrance of the rose of Sharon on it the same fragrance he smells when he is close to you – i) His phone/laptop whatever that nothing that is not from the Lord will come through and inner conviction from the Holy Spirit and that he will be on fire for the Lord only want to do things pleasing the Lord.
I prayed 12 years for my husband to wholeheartedly serve the Lord with me and I did these things above and anointed even more of his things. It takes a spirit of tenacity as it is my 2nd marriage and we had my kids and your kids and now only by the Grace of God we are still happily together.
The Lord said I’ll take their stubborn heart and mind of stone and give them a heart and mind of flesh. Pray that daily over all of you replacing the “you” in that verse with each one of your names. Ezekiel 36:26
Be the person you want to get home too. Some men like what they see for them physical appearance is important. He wants to return home not to a house.
Someone once said the day you think you qualified as a parent “you’re out of a job”, the same applies to your marriage, it’s daily work. Focus on what you can do different of where you can change not him, it’s not our job as wives to fix them but to pray for them and love them and respect them. Respect is the most important to men. Google pdf of this book Love and Respect – Dr Emerson Eggerichs.
Bless you and your marriage and I hope this might help other people too.
Please pray for my marriage. We have been married 6 years and separated for 4 months. My husband wants a divorce. He’s said there’s been too much hurt, he has no hope and doesn’t see me as his partner anymore. I love him with my whole heart and believe God can rebuild and redeem our marriage. Please pray that God would intervene and touch his heart.
Praying that your husband’s heart will soften towards you and that both of you will seek God and give your marriage another chance. Praying that you will get the opportunity to express and show your love to him in ways that matter to him and he will do the same for you. May the two of you work together to strengthen your bond so that love overflows and your marriage blesses both of you and others.
“Please pray for my wife. Unfortunately, she is suffering from a serious attack. She doesn’t want to see me at all. Unfortunately, she has complained about me and wants to be divorce from me. We have a five-year-old daughter. I can see that our life is under a serious attack. We were in Turkey for seven and a half years because of our faith. We have served in Iran for many years. We have now reached Canada for nine months. Unfortunately, I have not seen my wife and daughter for nearly eight months. Please pray for our marriage.
Unfortunately, an Egyptian man, who is perhaps a Pastor, has separated us, and he had promised to help us with our marriage, but unfortunately, he has persuaded my wife to leave me and is now threatening to go to the police and file a complaint against me. Please pray that God and righteous people may protect us from the devil in our lives.” My wife name’s is Naghmeh. My daughter is Elliana.
Praying that God’s truth prevails and that you, your wife and daughter are able to reconcile in a way that honors God and upholds the sanctity of your marriage. May you and your wife use this time apart to grow spiritually and seek all that God has for you so that when you come back together- the two of you can fulfill God’s plan for your lives and marriage.
Please pray for our marriage (Jude and Petunia). Our marriage has been under attack since our baby was born early this year. Pray for peace, unity, understanding, love, healing and forgiveness and God’s grace.
Praying that you and your husband will continue to stand firm in your faith and on God’s promises knowing that the enemy’s tactics, weapons and fiery arrows will not prevail. I pray blessings of protection, prosperity and peace over you and that your bond becomes stronger than super glue- that you, your husband and God continue to be a 3 stranded cord that is not easily broken. May the two of you continue to walk together in agreement.
Lord, Thank you for the beautiful blessing of a new life in Jude and Petunia’s life! Yet with these new little bundles of joy, come changes in our marriages that can be difficult to work through in our flesh. I pray for both Jude and Petunia during this time Lord! I pray that they can both focus on YOU each and every day; that they can see you have a divine purpose for marriage and children; that there are so many wonderful Christian resources available to help couples survive (and thrive) this season of marriage; that they are both committed in utilizing those resources; that they pray fervently for strength; that they have a strong Christian community to support them and pray for them during this time; that they have access to good Godly council; and more than anything that they are able to grow closer to You and each other during this precious time! In your name, Amen
Can you please pray for our marriage, my wife left me a month ago and I miss her so much. She is so angry and bitter and I have been praying so much for her. Can you please help to ask Jesus to work a miracle in her life? Thank You.
Praying that you both will ask God to show you the root of her bitterness and address it; and that both of you will work individually as well as a team to do all you can with the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome it. May you both take the time to work on yourselves and deepen your relationship with Christ so that you can come back together and restore/rebuild your bond so that your love thrives and honors God.
Lord, It has been a few weeks since George reached out for prayers for him and Justina. I pray that you have been working in both of their hearts during this time and that there is less anger and bitterness in her. I also pray that you have helped open George’s heart to see where the anger and bitterness was coming from, and that he has been able to reach out in a way that can help repair those emotions in her. I pray that together they are able to reconcile. I pray that you can help remove Satan from his hold on this situation and restore this marriage Lord. Amen
I ask that you pray for my marriage to be restored/reconciled. The enemy has crept in and needs to flee. It requires divine intervention for both parties. Also, pray for our kids during this process. Lord, let thy will be done in Jesus’ name. Thank you!!!
Praying that both of you will allow the Holy Spirit to work with and through you so that you will be committed to fighting for your marriage- fighting together against the enemy and not against each other. May you both trust God through this process and do all you can to live in submission and obedience to Him.
Lord, I come to you today asking that you be with Stephen and their spouse. Satan is working overtime right now attacking marriages and we need Your intervention and strength to restore and reconcile our fleshly hurts. As Melodee already said, I too pray that these two will be able to join together and fight against sin, not each other. I pray that they can come together and focus on YOU and your promises during this time.
I also pray for the children in this family Lord. I pray that they are able to see their parents prioritizing You and their faith during this time of trouble and difficulty. What a gift this could be, for children to see their parents struggle (which is REAL), being in Your Word together, praying together and getting through tough times together with YOU! What an example they can be for the next generation! In your name, Amen
Praying that my husband and I can talk about our marriage without blaming each other for the past.
Praying for you and your husband to be able to forgive each other while working through issues/concerns that hinder your love from growing and flowing freely. May you peacefully, kindly and gently discuss these concerns/issues and reach an agreement that brings you closer… may you pause when needed and push through as the Holy Spirit guides you. May the two of you find that what seemed like a big issue is small potatoes on the hands of God.
Lord, I pray that you work in Virginia and her spouses’ hearts so that they can move through the past hurts and decisions that keep coming up. As someone who has made big mistakes in her own marriage, and who’s spouse has also made decisions that at times have felt too hurtful to move past… it’s been Your promises and my faith that has gotten me through and kept us married for 19 years this July. Please help make those promises known to them daily! And speak to them in a way that they can grow in their faith so that their marriage will not only remain in tact, but will be better than ever!
I pray that you bring the resources and support that will help this couple into their sight Lord, and that they prioritize their marriage and use those resources. It takes time and commitment, so I pray that they both are willing to give of those and find a way to grow closer to one another and to You during this time.
My husband and I have been married for 27 years. We are still together, but our marriage is failing. I’m not even sure what to ask for, but prayer.
Praying that you will trust God with your marriage and continue to pray and ask God to work in and through both of you so that you address the issues. May you both be committed to putting in the work to making your marriage honors God and blesses both of you and not just let it crash and burn.
Heavenly Father, I come to you and want to lift up Maureen and her husband. Lord, they have been married for 27 years and Satan has that relationship under attack. You know the ups and downs they have had over almost 3 decades….. please use those to give them strength, to remind them of how far they have come, and help them realize that there is still so much ahead! You know the state of the hearts and what situation(s) are creating the feeling of failure, and You also know how to help restore the relationship to one of joy! God I pray that you are able to do that. That you work in both of them to go vertical with their marriage– to focus on You, on Your instructions for wives and husbands, on Your plan for marriage and Your promises for your children.
Lord, I also ask that you just be with Maureen personally and bring peace into her heart. It’s easy to feel lost when we are hurt, and it can feel impossible to know what to ask for or where to go for help. But YOU are always there! We can come to you with our broken heart, just as we are, and say “Lord….. you know my heart,” and You do! So thank you for that blessing and thank you for the opportunity for us to pray that Maureen during this period of trial. Amen
Good morning everyone. Mariana from South Africa, and I hope you all find this email with good intentions as I honestly do not want to offend anyone.
Ladies, unfortunately we as women are emotional beings and we get emotionally involved too quickly in a relationship when men a show us they are interested. Every person in this world want to feel loved and accepted us even more. We all have homework everyday and for the unmarried. Remember the 30% or whatever % it is you find wrong in your partner. It might be the 30% you see someone else do right, but one thing people forget is that you don’t know the other 70% of that other person.
The Bible says the only time you can get divorce is when your partner is unfaithful or if you live in an ungodly marriage (abusive, destructive) but, even then remember you’ve made a covenant before the Lord and that is who we have to honor that covenant to the Lord. Matt 6:33 (ESV) But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. If the Lord is not your first love you cannot love anyone the way you should love them, that is my opinion.
Please equip yourselves, God did not create us to be fixers of our partners, He is the ONLY ONE who can change people, try and focus on the positive things of your partner and you’ll see the negative will slightly began to fade. Focus on your weak points and pray over it too as we all have weaknesses. We all listen to sermons and thing mmmm… my partner should hear that now, that’s human but visualize it as follows.
There is an apple tree, and on it are green apples, half ripe apples and ripe apples. You might be the ripe apple but your partner might be the green apple. So my question is can anyone of us on this continent push that green apple to become instantly ripe, NO. God created it to become ripe through a growing process, the same concept applies personally, emotionally and spiritually.
These two books will help you tremendously:

Love and Respect – Dr Emerson Eggerichs (“WITHOUT LOVE SHE REACTS, WITHOUT RESPECT HE REACTS”)
To be married is challenging, hard work and remember you will never arrive it is a constant travel like a travel around the world on foot. You’ll have challenges, obstacles, hurts, joy, making progress, getting setbacks but all the way along that journey you learn new things and becomes more wisely.
THE LORD IS NOT INTERESTED ABOUT OUR OPINION ABOUT OTHERS, BUT OUR ATTITUTES TOWARDS THEM.
When things get rough and tough in marriage, I had lots of those in my 8 years of my 1st marriage and 28 years now in my 2nd marriage. I cried myself asleep many upon many nights sometimes. My first marriage was extremely emotionally abusive, jealousy, controlling, arguing like 5 out of 7 days a week, being raped (sex without your consent is rape, even if it is your partner) which led to a point when I decided this is not how I want to spend the rest of my life on earth. My son was almost 2 and my daughter 5. I got divorced and remarried in the same year, 3 months after I met my 2nd husband, I didn’t know him but I know his sister being in school with me and her husband being a customer of the bank where I worked.
Now we have 5 kids – my 2 and his 3 with his youngest and eldest living with us. It was in this time that the Lord really shaped me and where I really seek HIS presence like never before. I did courses at church because I’ve decided I’m never getting divorced again no matter what, I’m going to honor our vows and God and because I love this man with all my heart (Boots and all, for better or worse, in sickness and in health). Do I still have work to do? You bet lots and lots and lots I have a lot of shortcomings and things I need to put my foot down and say enough is enough I draw the line here and are going to change for the better, improving myself become a better person and wive. I change for me not for anyone else and people saying this is who I am accept it as I’m not going to change, I want to say then don’t expect someone else to change because till Jesus come , you’ll never be perfect.
I pray that THE LORD WILL BLESS YOU ALL AND YOUR MARRIAGES EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY ABOVE AND THAT MY INSIGHT MIGHT HELP ONE OF YOU.
Mariana, Thank you for your encouraging post! It is sad that in our culture it seems like vows are no longer taken seriously. We just had a great sermon on this last week in fact at our church! Marriage is definitely hard! But we grow up with social media now and movies that make everything look so perfect and easy that as soon as it isn’t that way in our lives, we want to quit. Yet that is Satan winning!
I have been a Christian since a child, and was saved as a teen. But I married a non-believer. He would go to church with me but didn’t really engage. We dedicated our children to the church, but there wasn’t much substance behind it at home with only one parent being a believer. Two years ago out of no where (and at the time I didn’t even recognize it being God’s work but it WAS), we made a move two states away from our family, our home, our community and our careers (with two teen boys) and started all over! We almost immediately were invited to a local church. After a few months, on Christmas Day, my husband was saved! On Easter him and our oldest son were Baptized!
God uprooted EVERYTHING in our life. Our marriage was so broken and there were so many hurts, that we needed a fresh start to see if leaving behind the busy careers and crazy disconnected life we were living would help. Well, what ended up being our true salvation (pun intended) was God leading us to a true Bible Preaching Church- and surrounding us with Godly Friendships. Daily I pray that the rest of the world would be lucky enough to have the same experience! And here I thought I knew the Lord all these years but it’s not about religion…. it’s about a RELATIONSHIP with God! WOW!
Is our marriage perfect? Ha! Wishful thinking! We still have really rough times. But we work hard at it and know that God has great plans for us and we are committed to following those vows we made 19 years ago.
I am thankful God protected you through that first marriage and that He strengthened you to be able to find a safe and supportive spouse to live life with! I pray that you continue to grow together and that your example will shine bright for your children on what it means to be faithful and committed to the Lord! God Bless!
Please I need prayers for my marriage. My husband and I got separated early January this year and before my bride price was returned he got married to another woman, although the reason for our separation was my fault. But I still really love my husband and want him back. Right now he is living together with his new wife. I want restoration upon my marriage. I want to be restored together with him, I just hope it is not too late and that God will help me.
Praying that God’s will for you is being carried out and You will trust Him and believe He is working everything out for the best.
Lord, Please be with Patrick during this time of struggle and pain. You know the details of the marriage separation and the state of their hearts. I ask that your will be done and that no matter what your plan is, Patrick finds peace and comfort knowing that you always have a purpose for all things- and that they are all for your glory! If your plan is to restore this marriage Lord, please work that out soon so that their marriage can be worked on timely. If you have other plans Lord, please bring Patrick’s new mate into the picture so that the new relationship can be established and grown in You! Amen
I need prayers for restoration of my marriage to my Ex husband Samuel. That God would soften his heart toward me. That God will give the other woman a Godly and caring husband to marry. I am asking for a miracle of a second chance to have a full door open to get my husband back and be a testimony of a remarriage that glorifies God. That I wouldn’t have to worry about being separated with him again. I hope to have a marriage where the Lord says what God has joined together let not man put asunder. That Samuel and I could have a ministry that glorifies God. Have friends that support our marriage, family to advise us and help us to do God’s will in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Praying that you and Samuel will be open to how God is leading both of you at this time and let His divine will and purposes prevail. And may you also accept His permissive will knowing that He loves and cares for you.
Dear Lord, I pray that you be with Perpetual as she continues to come to you with the desire to restore her marriage. I pray that you work in her ex-husband’s heart so that he is reminded of your commands for Marriage Lord, and that they are able to restore what you brought together. At the same time, the other woman that is seeking a relationship, please bring the right person into her life Lord so that Perpetual and her husband can be free from her hold.
Lord, I also want to thank you for Perpetual and her willingness to open up and ask for prayer here so that we can lift her up to you! Please pour love and joy into heart and confirm to her that she is not alone in this. With You, ALL things are possible! Amen
I want to ask for prayer for ALL marriages. Satan seems to be working overtime right now in so many relationships and it hurts to see the victories he is winning. So Lord, I am coming to this incredible community to ask that we join together in lifting up marriages around the world to you.
For the marriages that are strong and in a joyful season; Lord bless them and keep them strong! Put those people in the paths of others so that they may be a light for those who are in darkness.
For the marriages that are stable Lord, but are just going through day by day; strengthen them and bring them even closer to one another so that they may edify one another and glorify you!
And Lord, for those marriages that are struggling, hurting, or broken…… I pray that you reach each individual heart and do the miraculous work only you can do. You have a plan for each and every heart ache, but when we are weak Satan swoops in and capitalizes on those emotions. These are the times we need you and your strength more than ever, yet it’s also when it can be most difficult to trust and lean into our faith. Lord I desperately pray that folks in these difficult times have Godly influences in their lives; that they have good brothers and sisters in Christ that will fervently pray for them, their spouse and their marriages; that they are able to focus on YOU; that they can find comfort in your unbelievable promises; that they can find peace knowing they are loved beyond comprehension by our Lord and Savior; that they can be brave enough to speak up and share their struggles so they are not alone in the flesh; and that they are able to develop a deeper and more meaningful relationship with you through this trial.
Lord- I also pray that no matter what season a marriage is in, each person is able to see the many blessings you have gifted them in their relationship- and in their daily lives! I know I fall short daily in acknowledging the gifts I have, and I apologize for that God. I have so much more than I deserve due to your mercy and grace! THANK YOU!
Lastly, thank you for this community of people who not only come with open hearts and are willing to bravely ask for prayer, but for those that are willing to pray for those requests.
Amen and amen! Adding my prayers to yours for stronger and better marriages that reflect the love of Christ so that God might be glorified.
Sara, I just joined this community and thank you for your prayers! The enemy is working overtime to attack marriages, and may we continue to petition to God to overcome these attacks. God’s power is made perfect in weakness!
I want to stand for my marriage but I am easily discouraged as there might be someone else. My wife and I have been divorced for a few months now, maybe longer. I also need prayer to see things how God sees them. I also know that I sinned greatly against God and hurt my wife deeply as there is no trust. We are both bitter towards each other and I’m being selfish in my stand. Please pray.
Praying that you have repented are are willing to accept responsibility for the break down if your marriage and in doing so, you allow God to heal your brokenness and strengthen you were you feel weak. May you use this time s as part for your own growth and development – growing in faith and deeper in relationship with God so that if the opportunity comes along to reconcile – you are ready and won’t bring issues from the past into your new beginning. May God reward you for seeking Him and bless you in unexpected ways.
I really need spiritual couple restoration quadruple hundredfold. I really need real, true, authentic, total, complete, and full forgiveness from the bottom of their heart from him and her, all of them, and my nemeses. I need forgiveness from Lung Pho too. I really need to stop the medicine. I need brain healing double and sevenfold. I need severe and life restoration. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you God bless.
Praying that you have a true relationship with Jesus (Romans 3:10, Romans 3:23, Romans 5:8, Romans 6:23, Romans 10:9-10 and v. 13)… if this is so then you seek forgiveness from God and those you can ask forgiveness from and live a life that honors God. Praying that your body works with your medication if it is needed or that you’re able to come off your medication … but that you do not self-medicate. May you walk in forgiveness, live a repentant life and spread love, joy and peace.
