Please pray for my family, my husband left 2 months ago he was having an affair for over a year. I knew things were going wrong but I kept trying he had one time before because I told him to leave then we got back together because he was sick I nursed him back to health and then within a month of being better he started seeing her again so he left. I still love him and wish we could work this out. I pray that God’s will be done in my life, I need strength and comfort during this time.
I need a prayer for our daughter, son-in-law and three grandchildren. Our grandson celebrates his 3rd bithday this month, the second granddaugher will be 5 in January. The oldest granddaughter is from a previous relationship is 10.
They are both good people and have so much in common and yet they are at a point where they both need to forgive the hurtful things that have been said & done. I worry so much about the impact this will have on the children. While they were both brought up in different social and family structures, both were with love and care. Both need to recognize, respect and embrace both. That is what is best for them and the children.
My husband needs prayer to leave and cleave to his wife.
Please pray for the reconciliation of my marriage. My husband and I were married 13 years. We’re both Christians, but we took Christ out of His rightful position of being first. My husband filed for divorce and recently the papers were finalized. But I know that God called me to stand for our marriage. God is growing me into the woman He created me to be. I’m praying for my husband that he’ll realize how much God loves him and wants him to come back to His loving arms. I’m asking for healing for my husband and healing for the other person involved. I’m also praying for strength and that I learn all I need to learn during this journey.
Please pray for a renewal of love in our marriage. My wife of 4.5 years just revealed to me that she loves me, but is not in love with me. I was devastated. We have 3 children, and never set out in our marriage to end in divorce, but we’re both scared that is where this is headed. We are currently seeking marriage counseling and hope to gain resolution, but neither of us want to live in a loveless marriage. I don’t want to quit, I don’t want to lose her, I truly believe that April was and is God’s planned help mate for my life. Even after she told me she doesn’t love me I find myself longing for her more. Any extra prayer help is appreciated.
Please pray that God softens my husband’s heart and that he is more sensitive and understanding of my emotions. Pray that he gets on dayshift so we can spend more time together and that he doesn’t give up on our marriage. He complains that he is tired of my emotions. I just want to spend time with him. Pray that the stronghold of argung and the wrong influence being around him stops. Pray that there is a supernatural healing in our relationship. A miracle. Pray for my husband to get saved and have discernment.
I am praying for that as well, and so I pray for your peace and know that God is working his will.
Please join me in prayer that God will give me grace to be the wife He expects me to be. Our marriage is blessed with a 4 year old daughter. My husband does not want to hear anything about my parents or siblings. He needs help but he doesn’t even know. Please pray with me for God to turn my home around for good. Thank you.
Hello, Please pray for my marriage which is on the rocks. I have 13 years of marriage and because he is having an emotional affair with a co-worker it has been impossible for us to repair our marriage. It started back in April. I know I might have pushed him away because I rejected him at times but that was because of his verbal abuse and anger management. When I found out that he was having this affair I changed because I saw the chances of him leaving me but he still is on and off with this woman. She looks for him or it’s vise-versa due to all the arguments we have. It has been 8 months of agony and painful heart breaks. We have 13 years of being married and 3 beautiful children. I don’t want my family to crumble. Please pray for this affair to end and for my husband to get back on track with his family. We love him and we don’t want to lose him. Please pray to distance that woman from his path. Please pray that we can be a happy couple and family again. Please pray for my marriage, please. I love this man so much and he loves me too but it’s just that something is not clear in his head right now and this is destroying our lives.
I need prayers. My marriage was established on a very weak foundation! I met my wife on a Christian dating site and got married within 2 weeks of physically meeting each other! Her dad refused to attend the marriage, though he said he was “busy with work”. Our marriage coincided with the time her parents were heading for divorce. The decision to get married was based on the fact that we don’t want to live in the same house without being married, as it’s happening all over the U.S. I asked God for direction before choosing her, and I had dreams, which I now understand its meaning that I will carry her burdens. I consulted several men of God, 4 of which said the marriage is approved by God, other 2 discouraged it. For one, it is a BAD omen for the living father of the bride to absent from his daughter’s wedding. The Bible says, “honor your father and mother…”
What are those burdens? My wife has bipolar disorder (in addition to other mental-related behavioral issues) and PCOS (which the GYN explained she probably hasn’t ovulated since adolescence). Let’s assume she gets pregnant, it is a hard pill for me to swallow the possibility of transmitting the mental disease to innocent children!!
Our marriage is about 11 months old and I’m already thinking of walking out of it. I’m HIGHLY vulnerable to committing sins by cheating on my wife outside marriage. Most counselors I have seen are so abstract in their encouragement. There is no debate that this marriage was a mistake, but the question/dilemma is what next?! I can’t believe I fell into this kind of marital trap in spite of my walk with God and celibate life (sexual purity) throughout my youthful stage till marriage! The reality of impending divorce scares me but I can’t continue to live a miserable life just because I want to respect the marriage vow! It scares me because divorce may cause my wife a complete mental breakdown and label me a marital failure! I’m confused, and it’s affecting my spiritual life too. I need prayers!!!
I’m praying for your marriage. For PCOS metformin and 1 hr exercise daily makes you ovulate but only God can give you children-hopefully you conceive but adoption brings many blessings. Nighlight Snowflakes Embryo adoption means you don’t have to ovulate-may be right for your marriage or maybe not, that’s up to you and your wife.
As far as bi-polar don’t discourage her meds and counseling but when we get to heaven God promises to hold us accountable for WHATSOEVER we do on earth during the time he blessed/granted us so don’t discourage her but lovingly remind her that receiving help for psychological disorders is not a license to do evil or just plain behave badly – word it better of course: just ask God how because I don’t have all your answers but do know a little on PCOS and a lot about our Lord. As for you marriage-it’s not the trap, temptation is a trap and comes in shiny, fun, exciting packages of people. Here’s a verse to keep you strong__________
Proverbs 23:27Good News Translation (GNT)
27 Prostitutes and immoral women are a deadly trap. ___________________
Proverbs 5:15-23Good News Translation (GNT)
15 Be faithful to your own wife and give your love to her alone. 16 Children that you have by other women will do you no good. 17 Your children should grow up to help you, not strangers. 18 So be happy with your wife and find your joy with the woman you married— 19 pretty and graceful as a deer. Let her charms keep you happy; let her surround you with her love. 20 Son, why should you give your love to another woman? Why should you prefer the charms of another man’s wife? 21 The Lord sees everything you do. Wherever you go, he is watching. 22 The sins of the wicked are a trap. They get caught in the net of their own sin. 23 They die because they have no self-control. Their utter stupidity will send them to their graves.
_________________________________________________________
You will succeed in being faithful because you are seeking the help of the Lord. Even if you’ve failed before it doesn’t mean to continue in sin- anyone is welcomed by Jesus to repent and be forgiven. God also gives strength and wisdom to ALL who seek him.
Thank you for your comments and encouragement. Let me start by saying the Church knows little or nothing on how to help families in which a loved one is mentally ill. With my wife being mentally ill, I myself, face serious depression!! And she is also extremely reactive to bunch of drugs, including metformin. And the chances of us having children who will be mentally ill is very high! If I’m struggling with taking care of her and her illness at the moment, how will handle combined care for her and the children?!
The Bible says, to your faith, add wisdom!! This is reality and I am very sure it won’t work! And I still believe the marriage is a mistake! The fact that I was almost going to cheat on her is a manifestation of problems in the marriage and my spiritual vulnerability!! If it doesn’t happen now, I can’t guarantee that I won’t cheat on her in the future as a way of dealing with depression, just like some people take to drinking to deal with depression.
If you want to help such people, don’t condemn the cheating or binge drinking, instead investigate the underlying problem (depression) and its causes!!
For me, I’m done with this!! More so, up to 90% of marriages with bipolar spouses end in divorce!! Now I understand why. Thanks again for your comments.
Praying for you. My husband of 4 months is mentally ill andI did not know it, and he became abusive. I left and he is cheating and very hostile toward me. God hates divorce and he wants us to still uphold our end of the covenant, even if you think it was a mistake. God can heal her through your faithfutlness to his word, and will bless you for your obedience. If you want her to have a mental breakdown cheating will do it. And is sexual abuse. Pray always, I’m in a domestic violence shelter and only married 4 months. I lost everything but I’m turning all my desires to get even and retaliate, all my feelings all of me over to Christ, one day at a time. God’s in charge; you’re not alone. Praying for you.
Hi Rhonda, I understand the traditional foundation to avoid divorce at all means, but when a marriage does not fulfill its God-described purposes, you will soon find out as a human being that you are also prone to developing temporary or clinical depression that may impact your life negatively.
Secondly, divorce is a sin, just like lying, stealing, angry outbursts, but we sin and God graciously forgives us. Then, why is divorce upgraded as a “higher sin” than other sins, as if it won’t be forgiven by God? I believe God can heal her, but my wife doesn’t believe she can be healed. She claims drugs is another way of God healing people… some people who have mental illness do not even believe that they are sick and resist taking their medicine.
Rhonda, we’re in the same shoes, but you know what? I have peace in my mind that I need to end this relationship. The longer I tarry, the more difficult it is to get out of the marriage and the more frustrated I get!
Thanks for your comments. If you are still willing to continue in your marriage, that’s fine. I will recommend that you look out for NAMI [National Alliance on Mental Illness] meetings so you can attend and meet other people who have mentally-ill loved ones for weekly counseling and meetings.
Please pray to save my marriage and have my husband of 31 years fulfill his commitments to me and God.
Pray for my marriage! My husband and I are meeting this evening with our pastor to discuss ramifications of his emotional distance and addictions, as well my co-dependent behavior. Pray the the Lord will speak to my husband and accept the Truth in love! Pray for the right gentle spirit that comes with a godly woman for me. Just pray please. Thank you.
My wife is involved in an adulteress relationship. She has filed for divorce from me to be with the other man. I’m believing God will restore our marriage and bring reconciliation. Please pray in agreement with me for this matter.
I pray that my husband finds the understanding that he and I are family and releases the ties to his mom and brother so that we can happily live our lives.
Hi, I came across this site and thought how awesome is our God. A little of my story… my husband and I were together for 13 years and I trusted him whole heartedly. He took a job in Chicago (we’re from New York) and everything was great. He was going back and forth. We were supposed to attend my daughters wedding together, but he told me at the last minute he would not be able to make it due to work problems. We made plans for my return and other things we needed to do for the house.
One day before my daughter’s wedding I received a phone call from him asking for a divorce. I was perplexed and without understanding. I didn’t want a divorce as it’s against everything I believe, but couldn’t talk him out of it. So when the time came, with a broken heart and no understanding, I signed the papers. Today as I play the scenario of our marriage in my head I realize he really never loved me as a wife, but I was so in love and blinded I could not see. I put him before God and now I realize that God will allow us to go trough a storm to get us where he wants us.
Today my relationship with God is growing stronger and stronger and I’m learning how to depend more on him. So my prayer request is that I will continue to seek him with all my might, strength, and heart. Also that God will touch my husband’s heart since we’re not divorced yet. Touch his heart that he’ll be open to the word, and the gift of salvation for I would rather be his friend in heaven than his wife on earth. My husband is from India and at one time was sold out for Christ, but like myself he lost his way. Please pray that God will touch his heart and he will come back to God. I haven’t seen him since April 2014. He refuses to face me, because as he said, his guilt. I told him I forgive him and will always love him, but God loves him more. To God Be The Glory Forever and Ever, Sincerely, your sister in Christ, Doreen
Please pray for my marriage and family to be renewed. My husband of 32 yrs. walked out 4 months ago. He says he is in love with a 34 yr old friend of the family. My 23 yr old son has also turned against me and will not speak to me. He thinks what his father has done is all right. My son says that he no longer believes in God. This is totally killing me. My husband has cut me off financially and all communication. I had to file for divorce so I can get him to help me financially. I don’t want a divorce and am standing in the word of God that he will repair our family. Please pray for us.
