Family Re-Union of ### brother with his wife and ### months kid

[Jotbdam]

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, Praise You Jesus. Thank You Jesus. I once again humbly request your continued prayers for my brother, his wife, and their young family, who are still going through a difficult phase in their relationship. Despite our constant prayers, emotional distance still persists. His wife, though good at heart, continues to keep up her ego. Her complaints are very small and not of serious nature. My brother has no bad habits, he is also spiritual and deeply desires peace in the family. On 14th July 2025, his wife left with her parents to her native 150 kms away with their 3-month-old baby, assuring that she would return within a week or ten days. Assurance given by her father. But it has now been about 45 days, and still there is no sign or clue of her return. Though my brother speaks to his child daily through a short video call and has minimal conversation with his wife, the situation remains unchanged. Our aged mother 68 years, despite her health struggles, has lovingly cared for both my brother’s wife and their baby, bathing, feeding and cooking with dedication, but her efforts have not been considered or appreciated. Last Sunday, my brother went to her native place and spent two hours with his wife and child, after which he returned. Today is his wife’s birthday. She invited my brother to her native to celebrate with the child. My brother lovingly told her, “I cannot come there, you please come here, and we will celebrate your birthday with our kid.” She only replied “okay”, combining reply for one more other message, but did not come. Though her father had earlier assured that he would send her back within a week or ten days, till now there is no clarity about when she will return. On the 30th, my brother's wife called me and shared her feelings with me and she asked me that my brother should go to her house and they both will have discussions and if she is convinced then my brother shall bring them back home. But my brother's version is that, "she never told me when she went from my home with her parents and brother in the late night taking my 3 months old baby when there was no any serious matters and now almost one and a half months passed, she has kept calm till date without uttering of her coming back and keeping my son away from his father. Anyhow she should come back by herself the way she went from here with her parents", This way it is hooked up, brother and his wife both have their own genuine reasons. But what I see is that, mother of brother's wife wanting to divert her daughter's attention on their property diverted completely towards my brother asking him his property, his salaries, his commitments etc., all money matters and brought about this misunderstandings. Both my brother and his wife need to come down for kids' sake and be reunited in Jesus' name. Please pray for: 1. Healing of all misunderstandings and emotional wounds in God’s love. 2. Peace, trust and unity to be restored in their marriage and family life. 3. That both hearts may be softened by Holy Spirit, ignited with God’s love. 4. She may appreciate the love and care shown, especially by our elderly mother. 5. That my brother may continue to grow in patience, wisdom and emotional maturity. 6. Strength and comfort for our mother as she supports them despite her health. 7. That my brother’s wife may return of her own free will, with a humble and open heart, without bitterness or conditions, ready for a new beginning. In Jesus’ mighty name, I place this family before the Lord, seeking His grace for healing, restoration, and unity. Praise You Jesus. Thank You Jesus.

We lift up this broken family before the Lord, knowing that what God has joined together, no man should separate. The enemy seeks to destroy marriages, but we stand firm in the truth that our God is a God of restoration, and He desires unity and love to prevail in this home. It is clear that pride, selfishness, and worldly influences have taken root, but we declare that the Holy Spirit will convict hearts and bring repentance where it is needed.

The Word of God commands wives to submit to their husbands as to the Lord, just as the church submits to Christ (Ephesians 5:22-24), and husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church, sacrificially and selflessly (Ephesians 5:25-29). Both are called to mutual respect and humility. Yet, we see a wife who has chosen to leave her home without just cause, taking their child with her, while her husband remains steadfast in his commitment. This is not the will of God. The Lord calls wives to be keepers of the home (Titus 2:5), and for families to remain united under one roof, unless there is unrepentant sin or abuse—which does not appear to be the case here.

We also recognize the influence of the wife’s parents, who have encouraged division rather than reconciliation. The Bible warns against those who stir up strife, especially within families (Proverbs 6:19). Their meddling in financial matters and property is a distraction from what truly matters—the spiritual and emotional well-being of this marriage and child. We pray that their interference would cease and that they would instead encourage their daughter to honor her marriage vows.

To the wife, we say this in love but with firmness: returning home is not a negotiation—it is your duty before God. Your husband has shown patience, love, and a willingness to reconcile, yet you have allowed pride and external influences to keep you away. The Lord sees your heart, and He calls you to repent of this hardness. Your child needs both parents under one roof, and your husband deserves a wife who honors her commitment. "Let the wife see that she respects and reverences her husband" (Ephesians 5:33, WEB). The time for excuses is over. The Lord is calling you to humble yourself, return home, and rebuild what has been broken.

To the brother, we encourage you to continue in patience and prayer, but also to stand firm in truth. You have shown Christlike love, but love does not mean enabling sin or compromise where God’s Word is clear. Your wife must return, not on her terms, but in obedience to God’s design for marriage. Keep your heart soft, but do not waver in what is right. "Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them" (Colossians 3:19, WEB). Trust that the Lord is working, even when you cannot see it.

We also lift up your mother, who has labored in love for this family. Her sacrifices have not gone unnoticed by God, and we pray that He would strengthen her body and spirit during this trial. May she see the fruit of her prayers and care in the restoration of this marriage.

Now, let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, interceding for this broken marriage and family. Lord, You hate divorce (Malachi 2:16), and we ask You to intervene supernaturally to bring reconciliation. Soften the heart of this wife, Lord—break down every wall of pride, ego, and rebellion that has kept her from her home. Convict her by Your Spirit to return without delay, not out of obligation, but with a repentant and willing heart. Remove the ungodly influence of her parents, who have sown discord, and let them instead speak words of wisdom and unity.

Grant this husband the strength to lead with love and firmness, rooted in Your Word. Give him discernment to know how to speak and act in a way that honors You. Lord, restore the trust that has been broken. Heal the wounds of misunderstanding and bitterness. Let forgiveness flow between them, and may their home become a place of peace, joy, and godly love once more.

We pray for the child in this situation, Father. Shield their heart from the pain of this separation, and let them grow up in a home where both parents are present and united in You. We ask that You would move mightily in the coming days—let there be no more delays, no more excuses. Bring this wife back to her home, Lord, and let this be a testimony of Your restoring power.

We also lift up the aged mother in this family. Strengthen her body, comfort her heart, and let her see Your faithfulness in answering her prayers. May she be filled with Your peace as she waits on You.

Father, we bind every scheme of the enemy against this marriage. We declare that no weapon formed against this family shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Let Your will be done, Lord—restore, renew, and reunite this family in Jesus’ name.

We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your timing and Your goodness. May Your name be glorified in this situation, and may this marriage be a reflection of Christ’s love for His church. In Jesus’ mighty and holy name, we pray. Amen.

To the one who submitted this request: continue to stand in faith. Do not grow weary in praying, but also speak the truth in love where it is needed. The Lord is able to do far more than we ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). Trust in Him, and keep pointing this family to Jesus, the only One who can truly heal and restore.
