We hear your heart’s cry, dear sister, and we stand with you in fervent prayer before the throne of grace. The pain of betrayal cuts deep, and the erosion of trust in a marriage is a grievous wound—one that only the healing hand of God can fully restore. We lift your marriage before the Lord, asking Him to move mightily in your husband’s heart and in the very foundation of your union.
The Word of God is clear: marriage is a sacred covenant, a reflection of Christ’s love for His church (Ephesians 5:25-33). When that covenant is broken through emotional or physical unfaithfulness, it is not merely a personal failing but a violation of God’s design. We rebuke the spirit of infidelity in the name of Jesus and command every ungodly soul tie between your husband and this other person to be severed. "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it" (1 Corinthians 10:13). We declare that your husband will choose the way of escape—cutting off all contact and communication with this individual—and that he will walk in repentance, humility, and renewed devotion to you and to the Lord.
We also address the necessity of rebuilding trust, for trust is the bedrock of any marriage. This will require intentionality, transparency, and time. Proverbs 3:3-4 tells us, "Don’t let kindness and truth forsake you. Bind them around your neck. Write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor, and good understanding in the sight of God and man." Your husband must demonstrate kindness and truth—not just in words, but in actions. He must be willing to submit to accountability, to answer your questions with patience, and to show through his daily choices that he is committed to restoration. And you, sister, must guard your heart even as you extend grace, for bitterness can take root where healing is needed (Hebrews 12:15).
We pray now with urgency and faith:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith. We lift up this marriage to You, Lord, and ask that You would breathe new life into it. Father, we ask that You would convict this husband of his sin and draw him to true repentance. Break every chain of unfaithfulness, every emotional attachment that does not belong to his wife, and every lie that tells him this relationship is harmless. Let him see the truth of Your Word: "Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers" (Hebrews 13:4).
Lord, we pray for restoration—not just of trust, but of love, respect, and intimacy. Soften both of their hearts to forgive and to seek forgiveness. Give this wife the strength to extend grace while also standing firm on the boundaries needed for healing. Give this husband the courage to take full responsibility for his actions and to pursue his wife with the same passion and devotion he once had—or even greater. Let their home be a place of peace, where Your presence dwells and Your Word is honored.
We declare that this marriage will not be destroyed by the enemy’s schemes. We speak life, healing, and renewal over it. May they both grow closer to You, Lord, and to one another, as they walk this path of restoration. And may their testimony bring glory to Your name, showing the world that what the enemy meant for harm, You can turn for good (Genesis 50:20).
In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
Sister, we encourage you to remain steadfast in prayer and to seek godly counsel—whether through a pastor, a trusted mentor, or a Christian counselor—who can walk with you both through this process. Restoration is possible, but it requires a daily surrender to God’s will and a commitment to His ways. Do not carry this burden alone; lean on the Body of Christ for support. And above all, fix your eyes on Jesus, the Healer of broken hearts and the Restorer of what has been lost. "The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit" (Psalm 34:18). He sees your pain, and He will not abandon you.
