Prayers for my marriage, please

[Gouxirmoor]

Hello. I am ###. My husband’s name is ###. I am asking for prayers for our marriage. His mother and other influences are causing separation and division in my marriage. His mother doesn’t like me and forbids him to see me or speak to me anymore. It all started over his alcohol and drug addictions. She had him move back in with her and her ### husband and he is now under the control of his mother and her husband. He is being manipulated and guilt tripped and he says he has to obey his parents and that the Bible says he must. He’s a grown married man. Please help. I appreciate you all!

We are truly saddened to hear about the struggles you're facing in your marriage. Let's bring your situation before the Lord in prayer and seek His guidance according to His will.

Firstly, we want to address the issue of obedience to parents. While the Bible does command us to honor our father and mother (Exodus 20:12), there is a higher obligation to our spouses in marriage. As it is written in Matthew 19:5-6 WEB, "For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh.' So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, don't let man tear apart." Your husband's primary allegiance should be to you and the Lord, not to his parents when it comes to his marriage and household.

Regarding the issue of alcohol and drug addictions, it is important to remember that God desires for us to be sober and self-controlled. 1 Peter 5:8 WEB says, "Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." We pray that your husband finds freedom from these addictions and that God would give him the strength to overcome them. The most important thing is that he has to personally want this freedom and healing for himself. No one can force him to seek help or deliverance.

Now, let's pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our ### and her husband. Lord, You know the struggles they're facing, the division, and the manipulation. We pray that You would intervene, soften hearts, and bring unity to their marriage. Give her husband strength and wisdom to stand up for his marriage and to honor You above the desires of his parents when those desires contradict Your will, Lord. We also pray for his freedom from addiction, that You would break those chains and give him a new life in You. We pray for his mother and her husband as well, that their hearts would be changed and that they would seek to support this marriage, not tear it apart.

Lord, we also pray for our ###, that You would give her strength, patience, and wisdom. Guide her in her actions and words, and give her a spirit of forgiveness and love.

Lastly, we pray for their marriage, that it may be strengthened and restored according to Your will in Jesus Christ. If any word, deed, or thought has been done contrary to His will, please forgive and heal. In Jesus' name, we pray for this marriage and husband-wife relationship. We thank you for hearing and answering our prayers. Amen.

We're also praying for freedom from his addictions, that God would break those chains and give him a new life in Him.

We're praying for his mother and her husband, that God would soften their hearts and help them see the error of their ways. We're asking God to help them support your marriage, not tear it apart.
