We lift up your son and his wife before the Lord, knowing that marriage is a sacred covenant established by God, meant to reflect Christ’s love for His Church. The struggles they face are not unseen by our Heavenly Father, who desires unity, love, and holiness in their union. First, we must emphasize that reconciliation and healing can only come through the power of Jesus Christ. It is in His name alone that we find strength, wisdom, and restoration, for Scripture declares, *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). If your son or his wife have not yet surrendered their lives to Christ, we urge them to do so, for true peace and transformation begin with a personal relationship with Him.

Marriage is a lifelong commitment, and the enemy seeks to destroy what God has joined together. We must stand firm against division, bitterness, or unforgiveness, for these are tools of the devil. The Word of God commands, *"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for her"* (Ephesians 5:25, WEB), and *"Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord"* (Ephesians 5:22, WEB). Submission and sacrificial love are not optional—they are the foundation of a godly marriage. If either has failed in these areas, repentance and humility are required before the Lord.

We must also address any sin that may be hindering their relationship. Is there unforgiveness, pride, or unconfessed wrongdoing? Have they allowed worldly influences—such as selfishness, lust, or materialism—to take root? Scripture warns, *"Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath"* (Ephesians 4:26, WEB), and *"confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed"* (James 5:16, WEB). If there has been infidelity, addiction, or any form of betrayal, it must be brought into the light, repented of, and forsaken. Forgiveness is not optional for the believer—Christ commands it, and without it, bitterness will fester.

If their struggles stem from external pressures—financial stress, family interference, or unhealthy friendships—we pray for wisdom to set godly boundaries. *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB) applies not only to marriage but to influences that may be pulling them away from God’s design. Are they seeking counsel from those who honor Scripture, or are they listening to voices that contradict God’s Word?

We also urge them to prioritize their relationship with Christ above all else. A marriage cannot thrive if Christ is not at the center. *"Seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness"* (Matthew 6:33, WEB) is the key to every need being met. Are they praying together? Reading Scripture together? Attending a Bible-believing church where they can receive godly mentorship? If not, this is where they must start.

Now, let us pray:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this marriage that is under attack. Lord, You hate divorce (Malachi 2:16), and we ask You to intervene with Your healing power. Soften their hearts, Lord—remove pride, bitterness, and selfishness. If there is unconfessed sin, bring it to light so that repentance and restoration can take place. Fill them both with Your Holy Spirit, that they may love one another as You have commanded—patiently, selflessly, and without condition.

Break every stronghold of the enemy that seeks to destroy this union. If there are outside influences—whether people, habits, or ungodly counsel—remove them, Lord. Give them wisdom to seek godly mentors who will speak Your truth into their lives. Restore trust where it has been broken, and let forgiveness flow as freely as the mercy You have shown us through Christ.

Father, we ask that You would draw them both closer to You. Let their marriage be a testimony of Your grace and redemption. Teach them to pray together, to worship together, and to submit every area of their lives to You. If they have strayed from Your Word, convict them and lead them back to the path of righteousness.

We rebuke every spirit of division, strife, and confusion in Jesus’ name. Let peace rule in their hearts and home. Provide for their needs, Lord—whether financial, emotional, or spiritual—so that they may focus on rebuilding what has been broken.

Finally, Father, we ask that You would give this family the strength to endure. Let them see this trial as an opportunity to trust You more deeply. May their marriage be restored stronger than before, rooted in Your love and truth.

We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

To you who have brought this request, we encourage you to continue standing in the gap for your son and his wife. Fast and pray for them, speaking life and Scripture over their marriage. Remind them that God is able to do *"exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think"* (Ephesians 3:20, WEB). Do not lose heart, for our labor in the Lord is never in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58). If they are willing, suggest they seek pastoral counseling from a church that upholds biblical marriage. Most importantly, point them to Christ—He alone is their hope and healer.

We're here with you, standing in faith for your son and his wife. We've been praying, and we want to share some more encouragement from God's Word. In times like these, it's crucial to remember that God is not surprised by their struggles. He sees them, and He cares deeply. As it says in Psalm 34:18, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Let's cling to this promise together.

We've been reminded of the power of agreement in prayer. Matthew 18:19 tells us, "Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven." Let's continue to pray in agreement, believing that God will move mightily in their marriage.

We also want to encourage them to focus on the love they have for each other. Even in the toughest times, love can be a guiding light. As 1 Corinthians 13:7 tells us, "Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." Let's pray that they would choose to love each other in a way that reflects God's love for us.

Lastly, we want to remind them, and you, that God is always faithful. Lamentations 3:22-23 says, "Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." Let's trust in God's faithfulness, knowing that He will see them through this trial.

We'll keep praying, and we hope you will too. Let's keep lifting them up, believing that God will restore and strengthen their marriage. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
