Praying for my marriage

[Wrielfurser]

Me and my husband have been together for 35 yrs now of which we have been married for 25 years. We have 3 children and 5 grandchildren. I have been saved and baptized when I married my husband who was also saved and baptized but has backslidden. We need prayer as in our years of marriage my husband has been very controlling, manipulative; he has been disrespectful to me in front of my children and grandchildren and others whenever I speak concerning that he promises to do better to no avail. To cut a long story short, I recently could not tolerate his behavior anymore and so I filed for divorce unknown to him. Now he got the divorce documents so I had to explain to him why I wanted out of the divorce. He didn't agree.

We have 2 months before going to court to sign the papers so I told my husband if in those 2 months I see an improvement in his behavior I will not go ahead with the divorce if not I will go ahead. I love my husband and don't really want a divorce; however, I felt forced to file for divorce as he always promises to change and never does. I know my husband loves me too. Thank you for your prayers.

We are truly saddened to hear about the struggles you are facing in your marriage, especially after such a long commitment together. We will stand with you in prayer and offer biblical advice and encouragement.

Firstly, let's remember what the Bible says about marriage and the role of husband and wife. Ephesians 5:25-28, 33 WEB says, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it... So ought husbands to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself... Nevertheless, let each one of you also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband."

It is clear that your husband's behavior is not aligning with the biblical principle of loving his wife as Christ loved the church. His actions are disrespectful and harmful, and this is not acceptable. However, we also see that you have taken a significant step by filing for divorce, which should not be done lightly. Malachi 2:16 WEB says, "For I hate divorce,” says Yahweh, the God of Israel, “and him who covers his garment with violence!” says Yahweh of Armies. “Therefore pay attention to your spirit, that you don’t be unfaithful.”

We understand that you feel forced to take this action, but we encourage you to use this time to seek God's will and intervention. It is commendable that you have given your husband a clear path to reconciliation. We pray that he will take this opportunity to truly repent and change his behavior.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today, lifting up this marriage and family to You. Lord, You know the struggles they are facing, the pain they are feeling, and the difficult decisions they are making. We ask, Father, that You would intervene in this situation. Soften the heart of the husband, Lord, and bring him to a place of true repentance. Help him to see the error of his ways and to turn from them. Restore his relationship with You, Lord, and make him the godly husband and leader You have called him to be.

Lord, we also pray for the wife. Give her strength, wisdom, and discernment. Guide her steps, Lord, and help her to make decisions that honor You. Heal her from the pain and hurt she has experienced, Lord, and restore her faith and trust in You.

Father, we ask that You would bring healing and restoration to this marriage. Help them to forgive each other, to love each other, and to cherish each other as You intended. Bring unity and harmony to their family, Lord, and help them to be a testimony of Your love and faithfulness.

Finally, and most importantly, Lord Jesus Christ, we ask forgiveness for any sin of the husband or wife, and for your saving grace and mercy. We pray that both the husband and wife would be fully committed to you and would accept the salvation of Jesus Christ.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Over the next two months, we encourage you to continue praying together as a couple, seeking God's will for your marriage. Spend time in the Word, and seek biblical counseling if necessary. Remember, God is faithful, and He can restore even the most broken of situations. Trust in Him, and He will guide you through this difficult time.

We will continue to pray for you and your family, trusting that God will bring healing and restoration.

We're standing with you, dear sister, as you navigate this challenging time in your marriage. We've been praying for you and your family, and we want you to know that you're not alone. We've been reflecting on your situation, and we feel led to share a few more thoughts with you.

Firstly, we want to remind you of the power of forgiveness. In Colossians 3:13, we're told to "bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you." Your husband's actions may have caused you pain, but holding onto that bitterness will only hurt you more. We encourage you to forgive as Christ forgave you, not because he deserves it, but because it's what God calls us to do.

Secondly, we want to remind you of the importance of setting boundaries. While it's commendable that you've given your husband a path to reconciliation, it's also important to set boundaries for your own well-being. You don't have to accept disrespectful behavior. In fact, the Bible tells us in 1 Peter 3:4 that our beauty should not come from outward adornment, but from the heart, which is the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit. This doesn't mean you should accept abuse, but rather, it's a reminder to respond with kindness and respect, even in the face of disrespect.

Lastly, we want to encourage you to trust in God's timing. You've taken a significant step in filing for divorce, and while we understand that you feel forced into this action, we want to remind you that God is in control. Trust that His plans are good, and that He will work all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). Pray for wisdom and discernment as you navigate the next two months, and trust that God will guide your steps.

We'll continue to pray for you and your family, dear sister. We believe in the power of prayer, and we trust that God will bring healing and restoration to your marriage, if it's His will. Keep trusting in Him, and remember that He loves you and your husband deeply.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Me and my husband have been together for ### yrs now of which we have been married for ### years. We have ### children and ### grandchildren. I have been saved and baptized when I married my husband who was also saved and baptized but has backslidden. We need prayer as in our years of marriage my husband has been very controlling, manipulative; he has been disrespectful to me in front of my children and grandchildren and others whenever I speak concerning that he promises to do better to no avail. To cut a long story short, I recently could not tolerate his behavior anymore and so I filed for divorce unknown to him. Now he got the divorce documents so I had to explain to him why I wanted out of the divorce. He didn't agree.

We have ### months before going to court to sign the papers so I told my husband if in those ### months I see an improvement in his behavior I will not go ahead with the divorce if not I will go ahead. I love my husband and don't really want a divorce; however, I felt forced to file for divorce as he always promises to change and never does. I know my husband loves me too. Thank you for your prayers.

###, I am ### year old boy. Maybe you are like a grandmother to me also. If you apply divorce then, it may affect your grandchildren also, so please don't do it grandmother. Also, applying for divorce is wrong according to Bible. Bible says when married husband and wife are one. If you cut ties with a divorce, you are cutting yourself half. If a human is cut half then he is dead. In other words, applying to divorce is like murdering. So please don't do that sin. If you read Ezekiel 16:38 God will punish them. So please bear with your husband. Instead of applying to divorce, ask God that you need Grace and Fruit of Spirit - (long suffering).
