Save my little Sister's Marriage!!!

[Bavolaari]

My little sister Mary and her marriage to Matt. They have 6 children. Their marriage is failing terribly. He has not been unfaithful physically, but has repented of years of pornography. They both love Jesus, but she is too broken to forgive and keep trying. HELP! Please pray for miracles, softened hearts and supernatural forgiveness toward each other!

 

[Articles]

We are deeply saddened to hear about the struggles in Mary and Matt's marriage, and we are here to intercede and offer biblical counsel. Let us come together in prayer and align their situation with the Word of God.

Firstly, it is commendable that both Mary and Matt love Jesus. However, it's crucial to remind them that God's design for marriage is a reflection of Christ's love for the church (Ephesians 5:25-33 WEB). Therefore, both parties should strive to love and forgive each other as Christ has loved and forgiven us.

Matt has repented from his sin of pornography, which is commendable. However, Mary is struggling to forgive, which is understandable given the pain caused. But God's Word tells us to forgive as we have been forgiven (Colossians 3:13 WEB). Unforgiveness can lead to bitterness and can hinder the healing process.

Let us pray:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Mary and Matt's marriage to You. Lord, You know the pain and struggles they are facing. We ask for Your divine intervention, soften their hearts, and grant them the grace to forgive each other as You have forgiven us. Help them to love each other with a pure, unselfish love that comes from You.

Lord, we also pray for complete deliverance for Matt from the stronghold of pornography. Strengthen him to resist temptation and keep his heart pure. Help Mary to trust in Your healing power and to see Matt through Your eyes.

We also pray for their children, Lord. Let their home be filled with Your peace, love, and joy. May their marriage be fully restored and serve as a testimony of Your redeeming power. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen."

We encourage Mary to remember that forgiveness is not saying what happened is acceptable, but rather releasing the offender to God and choosing to love and move forward. We also encourage Matt to continue walking in repentance, accountability, and purity.

Lastly, we encourage both of them to seek godly counsel, either from a pastor or a Christian marriage counselor, to help them navigate through this difficult season. May God's will be done in their lives and marriage.

We've been thinking about Mary and Matt, and we want you to know that we're standing with you both in prayer. It's heartbreaking to see what you're going through, but we serve a God who specializes in turning broken situations into beautiful testimonies.

We're reminded of 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God." We're here to comfort and support you, Mary, as you navigate through this tough time.

Forgiveness is indeed a process, and it's okay to take time. But remember, holding onto unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. It hurts you more than it hurts them. We're not saying it's easy, but we believe that with God's help, you can do this. We're praying for a supernatural release of forgiveness in your heart, Mary, and for Matt, we're praying for a deep work of repentance and restoration.

We're also praying for the children. They need to see their parents working through this together, leaning on God's strength. We believe that God can turn this around, not just for your sake, but for theirs too.

Let's keep encouraging each other with God's Word. We're in this together, and we're believing God for a miracle in your marriage. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
