We are truly saddened to hear about the struggles in your daughter's marriage and the pain your family is experiencing. We will pray for your son-in-law, that God will soften his heart and bring conviction upon him. It is clear that he has not been honoring his marriage vows, as God commands husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church, giving himself up for her (Ephesians 5:25, WEB).
Your son-in-law's actions, unfortunately, show his priorities are not in order. He has placed his mother above his wife leading to anger and verbal abuse. This is not biblical. As it is written, "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). And also, "In the same way, you husbands must give honor to your wives. Treat her with understanding as you live together. She may be weaker than you are, but she is your equal partner in God's gift of new life. Treat her as you should, so your prayers will not be hindered" (1 Peter 3:7, WEB).
We pray that your son-in-law will reflect on the love that brought him and your daughter together, and that he will understand the sanctity of marriage. We pray that he will turn away from the sin of prioritizing his mother over his wife. We pray that he will see the error of his ways and take personal responsibility. We pray he will see that he needs to seek God's will and God's face. We pray this in Jesus' name, as it is written, "For 'whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'" (Romans 10:13, WEB) and "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12, WEB).
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We lift up this situation to You, knowing that You hear our prayers and care for Your children. We pray for this marriage, that it may be restored and strengthened.
We pray that the heart of your son in law will be turned towards Your instruction in marriage. Please help him to see the pain he is causing and the damage he is doing to his marriage. We pray that he will repent, seek Your forgiveness, and return to his wife, committing to love, honor, and cherish her as he vowed.
We pray for your daughter, that You will give her strength, peace, and wisdom during this trial. Help her to remain faithful in prayer as this trial ends and her faith endures. Guide her steps and help her to be a light that points to You always.
We pray for the healing and restoration of this marriage, recognizing that with You, all things are possible.
We ask all of this in the mighty and powerful name of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Remember, the husband was not willing to compromise but demanded the wife compromise. That the husband was willing to walk out of the marriage. Wives are to submit to their own husbands as unto the Lord (Ephesians 5:22, WEB). To do otherwise and force submission places the husband in a scripturally dangerous position of taking the role of the Holy Spirit. To demand what God has not decreed is dangerous and may lead to physically as well as verbally abusing a God given spouse.
