We hear your deep concern for your daughter and the pain you feel as you watch her consider reconciling with her ex-husband for reasons that do not honor God. Marriage is a sacred covenant, designed by the Lord to reflect His love, faithfulness, and commitment, not convenience, selfishness, or temporary comfort. The Bible warns us in 2 Corinthians 6:14, "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?" Even if her ex-husband professes faith, his motives must be examined in the light of Scripture. Love is not merely a feeling but an action rooted in sacrifice, as Christ loved the church (Ephesians 5:25). If his pursuit of her is driven by selfishness rather than godly love, it will only bring heartache and dishonor to the Lord.

We must also address the gravity of remarriage after divorce. Scripture teaches that God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16), but it also provides clear guidance on when remarriage is permissible. If her divorce was not on biblical grounds, such as adultery (Matthew 19:9) or abandonment by an unbelieving spouse (1 Corinthians 7:15), then remarriage would not align with God’s design. We urge you to gently guide your daughter to seek wise, biblical counsel from her pastor or a trusted Christian mentor before making any decisions. Proverbs 19:21 reminds us, "There are many plans in a man’s heart, but Yahweh’s counsel will prevail." Her steps must be ordered by the Lord, not by emotional impulses or worldly convenience.

We also lift up your daughter’s heart in prayer. It is clear she may be vulnerable, perhaps longing for security, companionship, or the restoration of what was lost. But the Lord desires so much more for her, He desires a marriage that reflects His glory, where both spouses seek Him first and love one another as Christ loves the church. If this man is not pursuing her with a repentant heart, a commitment to godly change, and a desire to honor God in their relationship, then this path will only lead to further brokenness. We must stand firm in prayer that her eyes are opened to the truth and that she seeks the Lord’s will above all else.

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this precious daughter and the crossroads she stands at. Lord, You see the intentions of every heart, and You know the motives of this man who seeks to remarry her. We ask, Father, that You would reveal the truth to her, let her see clearly whether his pursuit is rooted in selfishness or in a desire to honor You. If this path is not Your will, we pray that You would close every door and make the way forward impossible, that she may not walk in disobedience or settle for less than Your best.

Lord, we ask that You would heal any wounds in her heart that may be making her vulnerable to this temptation. Fill her with Your peace, Your wisdom, and Your discernment. Surround her with godly counsel and remind her of Your promises, that You are her Provider, her Protector, and her ultimate source of love and security. Help her to trust in You alone, rather than seeking fulfillment in a relationship that does not align with Your Word.

Father, we also pray for this man. If he is not pursuing her with pure motives, we ask that You would convict his heart and lead him to repentance. Break any pride, selfishness, or deception in him, and draw him to a genuine relationship with You. If he is not the man You have called to be her husband, we ask that You would remove him from her life completely, so that she may be free to seek Your will without distraction.

Lord, we declare that no weapon formed against this marriage, or any future marriage, will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We stand in the gap for this daughter, asking that You would guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Give her the strength to walk away from anything that does not honor You, and the faith to believe that You have a plan far greater than she can imagine.

We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, the One who died to redeem us and rose again to give us new life. May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be glorified. Amen.

To your daughter, we say this: Do not be deceived, God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap (Galatians 6:7). If this man is not sowing love, faithfulness, and a desire to honor God, then he will not reap a marriage that reflects Christ and the church. Wait on the Lord, for those who wait on Him will not be put to shame (Isaiah 49:23). He has someone far better for you, someone who will cherish you as Christ cherishes the church. Do not settle for convenience when God offers you a love that is sacrificial, pure, and eternal. Seek Him first, and all these things will be added to you (Matthew 6:33).

We hear the ache behind your request, a mother longing to protect her daughter from a relationship that feels more about convenience than genuine love. It’s hard to watch someone we care about walk toward what we see as a poor choice, and your concern comes from a tender place.

As we join you in prayer, we’re asking God to give your daughter a clear, discerning heart. Sometimes motives can be hidden, and she needs spiritual insight to see the truth about her ex‑husband’s intentions. We can ask the Lord to sharpen her ability to recognize what is truly loving and what is self‑serving, and to give her the courage to act on what she sees.

While you wait and pray, we’d encourage you to keep bringing this burden quietly before the Lord, releasing your fears into his care. He loves your daughter far more than you can imagine, and he is not distant from her decisions. You don’t have to carry this alone; we’re standing with you.

Let’s pray:

Father, we lift this mother and her daughter to you. Please open the daughter’s eyes so she can clearly discern whether this remarriage is built on loving commitment or on something less. Shield her from a union that would bring her heartbreak. And for this mom, grant your peace that surpasses understanding, the quiet confidence that you are watching over her daughter. Help her entrust this whole situation to you, knowing you are faithful. In Jesus’ name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

The cry of a mother’s heart rises before the throne of grace, and though the circumstances are veiled to us, He who searches all hearts knows the full truth of this matter. It is no small thing to see a daughter entangled in a union that is built not upon the holy affection of the heart, but upon some passing convenience. Such a foundation is a sandy soil, and the house erected upon it shall not stand the tempest. Marriage is a picture of that sacred bond between Christ and His Church, and therefore it must never be a mere contract of earthly utility. The text declares, “I am married unto you,” and that divine kinship is sustained, cemented, strengthened, and made delightful by mutual love. How can we call that a marriage where the two are still two, maintaining individuality as if it were the scrupulous condition of the contract? That is utterly foreign to the divine idea; in a true marriage, the husband and wife become one. If this proposed remarriage springs not from such oneness of heart, but from a cold reckoning of advantage, it is a robbery of the sacred ordinance, a trifling with a mystery which is divinely veiled and revealed.

Yet we must take every care to commit this burden to the Lord, for He is the God of the hills and the God of the valleys. You have looked upon the mountain of your fear and seen it towering high, but He who made the heights can bring low every proud thought and every carnal scheme. Declare your ways before Him, the way of your words, the way of your thoughts, the way of your sorrow, and He will hear you. He has been a Husband unto you, and He hates putting away; you may trust Him to guard the steps of your child with a jealousy more tender than your own. Pour out your soul like water before the Lord; lay hold upon the horns of the altar with persistent supplication. He will either throw an unforeseen obstacle in the path to halt this union, or, if it be His sovereign will that it should proceed, He can transform the heart of that man, making what is now convenience to become the faithful love of a true husband. But we may plead boldly that your daughter’s eyes be opened to see all things in the light of God’s truth, for we worship a King who giveth wisdom liberally to all who ask without upbraiding.

Be much in prayer, and do not rob God of your confidence. To give way to despondency is to say that He is the God of the hills and not the God of the valleys, to limit the Holy One of Israel. He who painted every flower and created every worm is not baffled by the waywardness of men. Bring this matter continually to the marriage supper of intercession, where the soul feasts upon the mutual delight of communion with Christ. And remember, the consummation of all hope is the marriage of the Lamb, when the Church shall be presented to her Divine Husband without spot or wrinkle. Let this hope purify your prayers, that you seek not merely the thwarting of a misguided plan, but the eternal good of your daughter’s soul. The Lord teach her that she never saw anyone comparable to her true Husband, even Jesus; and may any earthly union be entered only as it reflects that heavenly pattern.

[Chrysostom]

You ask for prayer to stop a marriage of convenience, but I must first speak to you of what marriage is, for unless we build on truth, our prayers are vain. The Apostle declares, “The woman which hath a husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then, if while her husband liveth she be married to another man, she is called an adulteress.” Is this man still living? Then your daughter cannot lightly be joined to another, even if that other is the same man she once put away, unless her first marriage was lawfully severed for the cause of fornication. And even then, the better path is reconciliation or a life of continence, lest she slip into sin under a show of devotion.

You fear this man seeks her not out of love but for some worldly advantage. Then your daughter’s soul is in peril, for a union formed on convenience is no marriage at all but a snare. Consider the Samaritan woman: “Thou hast had five husbands, and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband.” The Lord did not bless her living arrangement but exposed it. So too if your daughter enters a bond for money, ease, or reputation, she may find herself bound not to a husband but to a master, and her golden trinkets will bring more grief than the bitterness of slavery. Teach her that nothing is sweeter than virtue, nothing more amiable than a chaste and orderly life. If she seeks to please a man, let it be by gentleness, meekness, and propriety, not by surrendering to his designs. The husband who is worthy of her will love her for her soul’s piety, not for what she can provide.

But do not take this matter into your own hands with anxious striving. Commit it to God. Beseech Christ to be present, as the servant of Abraham did when he sought a bride for Isaac. Say to the Lord, “Whomsoever Thou wilt do Thou provide.” Pray not simply that this marriage be stopped, but that your daughter may see clearly, that she may discern the true from the counterfeit, and that her former husband, if he still lives, may either prove himself a godly protector or be revealed for what he is. The devil often clothes sin in a garb of necessity, whispering that a convenient arrangement is harmless, but his end is destruction. How many wives, thinking to live in soberness, have withdrawn from their husbands and driven them to adultery, only to find themselves guilty of a worse transgression?

I will join my prayers to yours, but let us ask not for our will, but for God’s. Let us pray that your daughter be loosed from every snare, that she treasure her body as the temple of Christ, and that if she be reconciled to her husband, it be in the fear of the Lord and not in the lust of the world. And if she must stand alone, let her remain unmarried, with her hope fixed on the Bridegroom of the Church. Instruct her with all gravity and love, not with strife, for a gentle spirit wins more than a sharp word. Show her from the Scriptures that a woman is bound to her husband as the Church to Christ, and that this mystery is great. A marriage of convenience is a mockery of that sacred bond.

Therefore, lift up your heart. The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, who glorified His Servant Jesus and raised the lame man through the apostles, is able to direct your daughter’s steps. Do not look to any human power or holiness, but to Him alone. Pray without ceasing, and teach her to value a husband who is truly a protector and a head, a man of like condition who fears the Lord, rather than one who seeks only a servant dressed in wedding clothes. If you thus honor God, He will requite you with honor, and your daughter will find the pleasure that comes not from gold or convenience, but from a yoke that is light and a burden that is sweet.
