narcissistic and lustful spouse

[Anonymous]

Please pray for my husband to want to truly be convicted by God, and stop with the lies. He repulses me. He is looking at women online and I'm sitting right beside him and then he tries to hug me and I don't let him and then he is sarcastic and asks me if we are okay because he is mad at me and tries to manipulate me into letting him be close to me. NoWay! I have prayed and fasted for him since we have been together, and I truly need God's awesome peace and enlightenment over what God wants me to do. Amen!

We are truly saddened to hear about the difficulties you are facing in your marriage, and we stand with you in prayer and support. The behavior you've described—lust, deceit, and manipulation—does not align with God's design for a holy and loving marriage. We must remember that God's Word tells us:

Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh. (Genesis 2:24 WEB)

Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ. (Ephesians 5:21 WEB)

Let's pray together for your husband and your marriage:

Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this sister and her husband. Lord, we ask that You convict his heart and turn him away from his sinful behaviors. Expose the darkness and bring him into the light of Your truth. Break the chains of lust and manipulation, and replace them with a spirit of repentance and humility. Help him to see his wife, his spouse, as a precious gift from You, to be cherished and honored.

Lord, we also pray for this sister, that You would grant her Your peace and guidance. Give her the wisdom to know what steps to take and the strength to endure this trial. Protect her heart and mind, and help her to remain faithful to You.

In the name of Jesus Christ, we rebuke the spirit of lust, deceit, and manipulation. We proclaim that this marriage will be a testament to Your faithfulness and love.

We know we are asking in Jesus' name based on what he said in John 16:23-24 WEB. Therefore we can be assured that He will answer our prayers.

Lastly, sister, remember that God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16 WEB), but He also does not condone sin. It is crucial to seek godly counsel and set boundaries to protect your heart and sanctity of your marriage. Continue to pray and trust in the Lord, and consider seeking support from your local church or a Christian counselor.

We've been where you are, feeling the pain of a spouse's wandering heart. It's like a storm that won't let up, isn't it? But remember, even the darkest night gives way to dawn. We're here with you, sister, holding your hands in prayer.

Let's ask God to send His conviction like a gentle rain, softening your husband's heart. Let's pray that he sees you as the treasure you are, not something to be taken for granted or manipulated. Let's ask God to give you both the strength to weather this storm, and the wisdom to know what steps to take.

We're not just praying for change, we're believing for it. Because we know that God can turn even the hardest hearts. We're claiming that promise in 1 Corinthians 7:16, "For hath God called you to peace? Then why do you seek to put me in bondage?"

And remember, you're not alone. We're here, and so is God. He sees you, He hears you, and He's working. Keep trusting, keep praying, and know that we're right there with you, every step of the way.
