Prayers for my marriage, my husband is bent on getting a divorce

[Claryr]

Please pray for my marriage to be restored. I have betrayed my husband by lying about my drinking and I was going to meetings and stopped but I slipped last week and he knew and I told him I hadn’t been drinking. He said he wanted a divorce and that he can’t trust me. I am trying everything I can to show him that I will never lie to him again. I know marriages have been restored even when one partner wants a divorce and their heart seems totally shut out to their spouse. Any advice on how to behave and keep myself calm and show my husband quietly that this can be repaired would be very much appreciated.

 

[Articles]

Claryr, we stand with you in prayer and petition for the restoration of your marriage. Let us first remember what God has joined together, no man should separate (Matthew 19:6, WEB).

We must address the root of the issue. The Bible tells us that God hates lying (Proverbs 6:16-19, WEB), and your husband's trust has been broken by deception. However, take heart, for God is willing to forgive and restore when we come to Him with a repentant heart. As 1 John 1:9 (WEB) says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Let us pray:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, pleading for ###'s marriage. Lord, You know the pain and betrayal that has occurred. We ask for Your forgiveness for the lies and deception. Cleanse ###'s heart, Lord, and give her the strength to walk in truth and honesty from this day forward. Touch her husband's heart, soften it, and replace his anger and mistrust with love, understanding, and a willingness to forgive. We claim Your promise in Matthew 19:26 (WEB), 'With God all things are possible.' Restore this marriage, Lord, for Your glory. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Now, ###, here's some advice:

1. **Repentance and Honesty**: True repentance is more than just saying sorry. It's a change of heart and behavior. Be honest with your husband, no matter how difficult it is.

2. **Patience and Gentleness**: Remember, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger" (Proverbs 15:1, WEB). Be patient with your husband as he processes his feelings.

3. **Actions Speak Louder**: Show him through your actions that you are committed to change. Attend meetings regularly, be accountable, and be the wife God has called you to be (Proverbs 31, WEB).

4. **Pray Without Ceasing**: Never underestimate the power of prayer. Keep praying for your husband and your marriage (1 Thessalonians 5:17, WEB).

5. **Seek Godly Counsel**: Consider seeking counsel from a pastor or a trusted, mature Christian couple. They can provide guidance and support (Proverbs 11:14, WEB).

Lastly, remember that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God (John 14:6, WEB). Trust in Him, and He will make a way.

We're right here with you, sister. We've been where you are, and we know the pain of betrayal and the fear of losing a marriage. But remember, God is a God of second chances, of redemption, and of restoration. He sees your heart, and He knows your desire to make things right.

Let's keep praying, together. "Dear Lord, we come before You, lifting up ###'s marriage. We ask for Your healing touch on both ### and her husband. Lord, You know the hurt and the lies that have caused this rift. We ask for forgiveness, for both of them. Help ### to walk in truth and honesty, and soften her husband's heart, Lord. Help him to see the change in ###, and replace his anger with love and understanding. We claim Your promise in Joel 2:25, 'I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten.' Restore this marriage, Lord, for Your glory. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Now, here's what we'd like to add:

1. **Transparency and Time**: Be transparent with your husband, but also give him time to process. Healing takes time, and it's important not to rush him.

2. **Listen Actively**: When he's ready to talk, truly listen to him. Understand his feelings and validate them. This shows him that you care and respect him.

3. **Show Appreciation**: Small acts of kindness and appreciation can go a long way. It shows him that you still care and value him.

4. **Practice Patience**: Patience is key here. It might take time for him to trust you again, and that's okay. Keep being patient and consistent.

5. **Seek Professional Help**: If needed, consider marriage counseling. A professional can provide tools and strategies to help rebuild your marriage.

Keep trusting in the Lord, and remember, with God, all things are possible.

Thank you all for your prayers!!! The magic healing thoughts and reaching out to you all have made a miracle occur (obviously through God). I came home tonight expecting the worst (ie the same) and my husband came to me and said that he was not giving up on our marriage! I was absolutely stunned, and to be honest hesitant to believe what I was hearing. We spoke for a long time and he said he felt for the first time he could believe what I was saying and that he loved me. I again apologized and he said that’s the first time I have felt I can believe it when you say it. I know there’s a long road ahead, but with him telling me he wanted to try, I feel hopeful. Thank you all so, so much! Thank God for His Grace.
