Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today with heavy hearts, lifting up ### and the situation within her marriage. Lord, You see the struggles and the pain she endures. Your Word tells us in 1 Peter 5:7, "casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you." We cast this burden upon You, Lord, knowing that You care deeply for ### and her family.

Father, we pray for ###'s husband. We ask that You touch his heart and soften it. Ezekiel 36:26 says, "I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh." Lord, replace his heart of stone with a heart of flesh. Help him to see the pain his actions cause and give him the humility to seek reconciliation and forgiveness.

Lord, we also pray for ###. Give her strength and wisdom as she navigates this challenging situation. Your Word in James 1:5 says, "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him." Grant her the wisdom she needs to handle these difficult times and the strength to continue showing love and patience.

Father, we ask for Your peace to reign in their home. Philippians 4:7 tells us, "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." May Your peace guard their hearts and minds, and may it bring calm and understanding to their relationship.

We also pray for their son. Protect his heart and mind from any negative impact of these conflicts. Let him grow up knowing the love of both parents and the love of Christ.

Lord, we know that You have a plan for every marriage. Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you hope and a future." We trust in Your plan, Lord, and ask that You guide this family towards healing and restoration.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

husband is always very harsh in his response, ready to be aggressive no matter the place or time, he keeps malice all the time sometimes for several weeks running into months, and he doesn't apologise no matter what even if the woman is wrong and worst of all he pulls off his wedding band and doesn't wear it anytime the malice starts, this time can be counted as the umpteenth time is doing this and the wife is tired, what advice can you provide. Please note that in the past the wife would always be the one to try to resolve the issues and once resolved he would act right for the first two weeks and then it's back to Statosco. They both have a lot they have built up together and even have a son together. the marriage is about ### years old, and all suggestions for change and reconciliation have been tried but with no significant change as the same issues keep being repeated. No physical violence, except maybe struggles, but no punches I have nowhere to go and can't even explain how I feel. I know am not perfect and have my faults like I wouldn't say I like to cook, however, the consistent repetition of his negative actions especially pulling off his wedding band and not wearing it all the time is terrible. Is this God's plan for me in marriage, I have been praying even here...

May the Lord come to your rescue. Amen
