[Anonymous]

I need healing for my marriage. Been married for 9 1/2 years (together 15 years). Everything is going downhill. I'm guilty of being pretty bitter and resenting my husband lately. The more I try hard at this marriage the worse things seem to get. I have been trying to be a much better wife. Right now we have a pretty big disagreement about something and would like to get past that. But also I'm tired of him relying on me to handle most things. I do sooo much and people like my mother notice that but I have not talked to her about marriage problems. I just make excuses for him. I am tired of us operating separately in finances.I'm tired of him not taking lead. I'm tired of him constantly on his phone and not actively listening to me. It's hard for me to be open with him because it's like he really doesn't care. He puts more effort into his wants every week while I handle the kids. Just a few days ago our 5 year old revealed he knew his dad was smoking cigarettes (continuous battle of quiting and starting back again) and he cried to him. I have a chronic cough, our daughter has had breathing issues when she was a baby, why would he start again and let his habit get much worse? I do have my problems too. I mention a lot about my husband but I have much to work on. It's easy to feel discouraged though because it feels like one person is trying. He is a generous person outside of that. Does a lot for others. Excels at his job. Great father. We attend an awesome church where we serve and he gives back to the community. But the husband skills are lacking (I feel his upbringing may be a factor) and I'm just so tired and want to give up. Please pray that God helps us get it together for the sake of our marriage.

Heavenly Father,

We come before You on behalf of this dear soul who is facing immense challenges in their marriage. Lord, You are the God of reconciliation and restoration, and we ask for Your divine intervention in their relationship. We lift up their heartfelt plea for healing, understanding, and unity.

Father, we acknowledge that bitterness and resentment have taken root in their heart. We pray that You would soften their heart and grant them the ability to forgive, just as You have forgiven us. Your Word reminds us in Ephesians 4:32 to "be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." May they experience Your love and grace flowing through them, enabling them to extend forgiveness and choose to let go of bitterness.

Lord, we ask for wisdom and guidance in resolving their disagreements. Help them to communicate with love and respect, seeking understanding and compromise. Your Word reminds us in Proverbs 3:5-6 to "trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." May they surrender their own desires and seek Your will for their marriage, trusting You to lead them on the right path.

Father, we lift up their financial situation, asking for unity and shared responsibility. Help them to come together as a team, making decisions together and supporting one another. Your Word reminds us in Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!" May they lean on each other, working together to overcome challenges and find financial stability.

Lord, we pray for a transformation in their communication. Grant them the ability to truly listen to one another and to express their thoughts and feelings with honesty and vulnerability. Your Word encourages us in James 1:19 to "be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger." May they practice patience, understanding, and active listening, creating a safe space for open and heartfelt conversations.

Father, we lift up their children to You. Protect their little ones from the negative impact of discord and guide them in being loving and supportive parents. Help them to model a healthy and Christ-centered marriage, reflecting Your love and grace to their children.

Lord, we recognize that both individuals have areas in which they need growth and improvement. We ask for Your grace to transform their hearts and minds, empowering them to become the spouses You have called them to be. Grant them the strength and perseverance to work on themselves and their marriage, even when it feels discouraging.

May Your Holy Spirit be present in their marriage, bringing healing, restoration, and unity. We pray that they would experience the joy and fulfillment that comes from a Christ-centered and thriving marriage. Help them to remember that with You, all things are possible.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

May God's grace and wisdom guide this individual and their spouse as they navigate the challenges in their marriage. May they experience His transformative power, finding healing, reconciliation, and renewed love for one another.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
