We join with you in lifting up your marriage before the Lord and we thank God that you desire to see your marriage healed and restored, for marriage is a holy covenant before God between a man and a woman for life. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart Matthew 19:6, and we stand with you contending for that oneness in Jesus' name.
We hear your heart that you want your wife to see your love for her and for God, and to experience kindness and trust again between you. We know that only God can soften hearts, for The king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires Proverbs 21:1, and He has promised I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh Ezekiel 36:26. We pray with you that the Lord would do that tender work in both of your hearts.
We also want to lovingly address your words that you don’t want anyone else again. If in the past you have looked outside your marriage with lust or unfaithfulness in thought or deed, or given your wife reason to doubt your devotion, we urge you to bring that fully before the Lord in repentance, for Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled: but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers Hebrews 13:4. God calls husbands to a singular, faithful love, Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it Ephesians 5:25. If there has been any sin in this area, confess it openly to God and, where needed, to your wife, for If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness 1 John 1:9. Your love for God must be shown not only in words but in steadfast faithfulness, purity, and daily sacrificial love toward your wife.
We encourage you to continue to show that love in action, for Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud 1 Corinthians 13:4, and Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection Colossians 3:14. The Scripture instructs Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband Ephesians 5:33, and You husbands, in the same way, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman, as to the weaker vessel, as being also joint heirs of the grace of life; that your prayers may not be hindered 1 Peter 3:7. We encourage you to dwell with your wife with understanding, to be consistent, gentle, and kind, and to let her see through your patience and prayer that your love for God is genuine and your love for her is enduring. And we pray that she would be moved to respond with kindness and forgiveness, for And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you Ephesians 4:32.
We pray together now. Father in heaven, we lift this husband and wife to You in the name of Jesus Christ. Lord, You see the hurt and distance that has come between them and the longing this husband has to be reconciled. We ask You to soften his wife’s heart and his own heart, to remove any stoniness, bitterness, or unbelief, and to pour out Your love and peace upon their home. Help this husband to love his wife as Christ loves the church, faithfully, purely, and sacrificially, and to walk in a way that clearly reflects his love for You. Help his wife to see and believe that love, to be kind and tenderhearted toward him, and to trust again. Heal any wounds from past unfaithfulness or unkindness, forgive all sin through the blood of Jesus, and restore what the enemy has tried to steal. Make their marriage strong, faithful, and honoring to You, a testimony of Your grace and covenant love. Give them both hearts to seek You first, to communicate with grace, and to never let go of what You have joined together. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our only hope and Savior, amen.
We encourage you to remain faithful in prayer, in the Word, and in loving deeds toward your wife without pressure or demands, trusting the Lord to work in His timing. Keep seeking Him together, and keep guarding your heart and eyes to be wholly devoted to your wife and to the Lord.

We are grateful you reached out and shared what is on your heart. Wanting your wife to feel secure in your love and to see your love for God is a good and tender desire, and we hear how painful it feels when kindness feels distant.
We will be praying with you for your marriage, for gentleness between you both, and for your wife to experience your love as steady and true.
One small step that often helps when trust feels strained is to let actions carry the message consistently. You might choose one simple, reliable way to show care each day, something she has said matters to her, and keep doing it without keeping score. It can also help to ask her in a calm moment what kindness looks like to her right now and simply listen to understand, without defending or correcting. That kind of listening can open communication where blame tends to shut it down. If you have a trusted pastor, inviting him to walk with you both could also bring steady support.
Father, we lift this husband and his wife to You. Draw each of them closer to You and to one another. Give him patience and wisdom to love her well, and give her peace to see his care. Guard their marriage and lead them in Your will day by day. In Jesus' name, amen.

Beloved of All
Your prayer for your wife and for your marriage has been brought before the Lord, and we join you in carrying it to the throne of grace.
Hardness of heart is a great and grievous evil, and it exists not only in the world without but in many who frequent the courts of the Lord's house. Yet there is this precious comfort, that those who mourn that their heart is a heart of stone may perceive that it is not all stone, or else there would not be mourning because of hardness. The very sorrow you feel, and the desire you express that your wife's heart might be softened and that your own love might be made true and faithful, is a sign that the Lord is already at work.
Hear the promise of the covenant of grace, for it is written, A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you, and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. It is God's to give you a tender heart, not yours to create it within yourself. Do not attempt first to renew your heart and then to come to Christ for salvation, for this renewal of heart is salvation. When the Holy Spirit puts the Cross into the heart, the heart is dissolved in tenderness. As the old preachers used to say, Crux in corde, the cross in the heart, this is the source of godly sorrow. The hardness of the heart dies when we see Jesus die in woe so great.
We will pray that the Lord will do this gracious work in your wife, and in you also. For marriage as God ordained it is a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and all that belongs to it is to be kept within that covenant in holiness and truth. Your resolve that you do not want anyone else again is right and good before God, and we pray that He will establish you in it, that you may love your wife even as Christ loved the church, with a faithful, patient and self denying love. If there has been wandering or unfaithfulness in the past, remember Peter. He was down, but he was soon up again, for our blessed Master thought upon him and looked upon him, and that look pricked him in the heart. His denial was not of the heart but of the tongue, and when the grounds of his faith came before his mind anew, his heart was broken into a thousand pieces with grief that he should have been false to such a Friend. The Lord prayed for him that his faith should not fail, and He prays for His own still. So we pray that your faith will not fail, and that if almighty love has drawn you back after sad wanderings, you will lay yourself out with all your heart to do good to her whom you may have harmed by turnings aside.
There are heart wounds that no man can heal, and ordinarily a broken heart is utterly incurable by human hands. But we have an honored Healer. He will come and take away that heart of stone, and on that heart of flesh He will write His law and put His fear within, so that you shall be as though He had never cast you aside. He alone can write His law in the heart. Tablets on which the Lord shall write must be clean, and they must be softened, for the heart is naturally hard, and in some it has become harder than adamant stone. Yet the blood and water which flowed from our Lord's side have provided all that is needed to cleanse and to soften.
We pray therefore after this manner. O Lord, who hast promised a new heart and a new spirit, look in mercy upon this husband and this wife. Take away the stony heart and give the heart of flesh. Put the cross into the heart that it may be dissolved in tenderness. Let the wife see and believe the love that is now confessed, and let kindness and truth meet in their home. Keep this brother faithful to his covenant, that he may seek no other, but love his wife with a pure heart fervently, because he first loves Thee who art the fountain of all love. Heal the wounds of this marriage, and let Thy restoring grace be perfected, that they may advance from grace to grace till they are made holy as Thou art holy, and at last see Thee face to face. We ask this not because we are worthy, but for the sake of Jesus Christ, through whom alone is salvation, and in whose name every tender and broken heart finds healing. Amen.
