Couple Conflict

We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, grieved by the suffering and brokenness described in this request. The Lord detests violence and abuse, and His Word is clear about the sanctity of marriage and the call for husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church—sacrificially, tenderly, and without harm.
First, we must address the grave nature of abuse in this marriage. Scripture commands husbands to love their wives and never to treat them harshly. Colossians 3:19 says, *"Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them."* Ephesians 5:25 further instructs, *"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it."* Abuse—whether physical, emotional, or verbal—is a direct violation of God’s design for marriage and is sinful in His sight. It must not be tolerated or excused.
To the one praying, we urge you to take immediate action to protect the wife and child in this situation. Proverbs 31:8-9 calls us to *"Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are left desolate. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy."* This is not a time for passive prayer alone; this is a time for intervention. Encourage the wife to seek safety, whether through trusted family, church leadership, or authorities who can provide protection. If she is in immediate danger, she must remove herself and her child from harm’s way. The Lord does not call us to remain in situations where our lives or the lives of our children are at risk.
As for the mention of divorce, we acknowledge that Scripture permits divorce in cases of sexual immorality (Matthew 19:9) and abandonment (1 Corinthians 7:15). While abuse is not explicitly listed, it is a profound violation of the marriage covenant and a form of abandonment of the spouse’s God-given responsibility to love and cherish. The safety and well-being of the wife and child must be the priority. If reconciliation is impossible due to unrepentant sin and ongoing harm, divorce may be a necessary and biblically justifiable step. However, this should only be pursued after seeking wise, biblical counsel and exhausting efforts for repentance and restoration—if it is safe to do so.
We also note the mention of the child’s sports teammates. While we understand the concern for stability, the child’s physical and emotional safety must come first. No extracurricular activity or social connection is worth remaining in an abusive environment. The Lord cares deeply for this child, and Psalm 127:3 reminds us that *"Children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward."* We must prioritize their protection above all else.
Now, let us pray fervently for this situation, trusting in the Lord’s justice, mercy, and power to intervene.

Heavenly Father, we come before You with broken hearts, lifting up this wife, husband, and child who are trapped in the pain of abuse and sin. Lord, You see the suffering that no one else may see. You hear the cries of the oppressed, and You are a God of justice and righteousness. We ask You to intervene mightily in this situation.
Father, we pray first for the safety of the wife and child. Protect them from further harm, Lord. Provide a way of escape, a safe place for them to go, and surround them with people who will support and defend them. Give the wife wisdom to know what steps to take, courage to act, and strength to endure. Comfort her in her fear and remind her that she is not alone—You are her refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1).
Lord, we pray for the husband. Convict his heart of his sin, Father. Bring him to true repentance, not just sorrow for the consequences of his actions, but a godly grief that leads to transformation (2 Corinthians 7:10). Soften his heart, Lord, and break the chains of sin that have enslaved him. If he refuses to repent, we ask that You remove his ability to continue harming his family. Bring his deeds into the light, Lord, so that he may be held accountable and so that his wife and child can be free from his abuse.
We pray for the child, Lord. Shield their heart and mind from the trauma they have witnessed or experienced. Surround them with godly influences—teachers, mentors, or friends who can speak Your truth and love into their life. Heal their wounds, Father, and let them know that they are precious in Your sight. Do not let this sin define their future, but redeem their story for Your glory.
Lord, we ask for Your guidance in the matter of divorce, if it comes to that. Give clarity to the wife and those advising her. Let Your Word and Your Spirit lead her in the path of righteousness, whether that means restoration or separation. We pray that if divorce is necessary, it would be pursued with wisdom, biblical counsel, and a heart that still seeks Your will above all else.
Father, we also lift up the one who has brought this request before us. Give them the words to speak to this couple, the courage to act on behalf of the vulnerable, and the discernment to know how best to help. May they be a vessel of Your love and truth in this dark situation.
Finally, Lord, we pray for Your justice to prevail. You are a God who defends the weak and punishes the wicked. We trust You to act on behalf of the oppressed, to bring an end to this abuse, and to restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). Let Your will be done in this marriage, in this family, and in the lives of all involved.
We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, who came to set the captives free and to bind up the brokenhearted. Amen.

To the one who submitted this request, we urge you to act with urgency. Reach out to the wife privately and lovingly, expressing your concern for her safety and offering practical help. Encourage her to contact a local domestic violence hotline or shelter if she is in danger. If she is part of a church, involve the pastor or elders who can provide spiritual and practical support. Do not remain silent—silence only enables the abuse to continue.
If the husband claims to be a believer, church discipline may be necessary (Matthew 18:15-17). This is not about punishment but about calling him to repentance and protecting the flock from his sin. If he is unrepentant, the church must act to remove him from fellowship until he turns from his wickedness.
Lastly, we remind you that the Lord is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). He sees this suffering, and He will not ignore it forever. Trust in His timing and His justice, even as you take action to protect the vulnerable. May the Lord give you wisdom, courage, and compassion as you walk alongside this family in their time of need.
