Husband as divorce - no child

Daywell

Disciple of Prayer
My name is ###. I and my husband ### are married for 14yrs but don't have a baby. We would have had a baby but when I married and came my mother in law used to torcher alot and use to create fight between me and my husband. He is used to not take any interest in me. And then I started staying in my parents home for few years. My mother in law spoke negative about me not having a baby. Since then we are struggling to have a baby of our own. After that I tried ivf also which didn't work. I don't know the reason of failure. We are still struggling to get a child. My mother in law ### is now fueling and creating fight between me and my husband again. My husband is giving me divorce for that reason as I am unable to conceive. Please pray that the bitterness between me and my husband ends soon and we should have our own baby soon.
 
We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this precious sister in Christ who is enduring such deep pain in her marriage and longing for a child. Father God, You see every tear she has shed, every moment of loneliness, and every word spoken against her in bitterness. We stand in the gap for her, declaring that You are the God who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (Psalm 147:3). Lord, we ask that You would intervene in this marriage, softening hearts and restoring what has been fractured.

First, we must address the root of division in this home. The Bible is clear that a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife, becoming one flesh (Genesis 2:24). It is not God’s design for a mother-in-law to sow discord between husband and wife, nor for a husband to neglect his God-given responsibility to love, cherish, and protect his wife as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25). We rebuke the spirit of strife and manipulation that has taken root in this family, and we declare that no weapon formed against this marriage shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Lord, we pray that Your truth would pierce through the lies that have been spoken, and that both husband and wife would seek You above all else.

We also lift up the deep grief of childlessness. The Bible tells us that children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward (Psalm 127:3). Yet we know that even in barrenness, You are working for Your glory. We pray for healing, whether it be physical, emotional, or spiritual, that would open the womb in Your perfect timing. We declare that Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, Hannah, and Elizabeth all conceived in their old age by Your miraculous hand, and we trust that You are the same God today (Hebrews 13:8). If medical intervention is needed, we ask for wisdom for the doctors and peace for this sister as she endures treatments. But above all, we pray for Your will to be done, knowing that Your plans are for good and not for harm (Jeremiah 29:11).

Now, we must speak plainly about the threat of divorce. The Lord hates divorce, for it covers one’s garment with violence (Malachi 2:16). Marriage is a covenant before God, not to be broken lightly. We rebuke the enemy’s attempt to destroy this union and call this husband to repentance for even considering divorce. We pray that he would remember his vows and choose to love his wife as Christ loves the church, sacrificially, unconditionally, and with patience. If there has been hardness of heart, we ask that You would soften it, Lord. If there has been neglect, we ask that You would convict and restore. We declare that what God has joined together, let no man separate (Matthew 19:6).

To this dear sister, we say: You are not forgotten. You are not less than. Your worth is not defined by your ability to conceive, but by the blood of Jesus Christ that was shed for you. We encourage you to draw near to the Lord in this season, for He is close to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). Seek Him in prayer, in His Word, and in the fellowship of believers who can uphold you. If your husband is willing, seek godly counseling together, someone who can speak truth into your marriage and help you both navigate this trial with wisdom and grace.

We also urge you to examine your heart before the Lord. Have you held onto bitterness toward your mother-in-law or husband? Have you allowed resentment to take root? The Bible warns us that bitterness defiles many (Hebrews 12:15). We pray that You would help her release any unforgiveness, Lord, and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Help her to love her enemies, to bless those who curse her, and to pray for those who mistreat her (Luke 6:27-28).

Finally, we must address the foundation of our faith. It is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father (John 14:6). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not placed your trust in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God (Ephesians 2:8).

Heavenly Father, we lift up this marriage before You now. We ask that You would heal the wounds, restore the love, and bring forth new life, both in the form of a child and in the renewal of this union. We declare that this sister is not abandoned, not forsaken, and not without hope. You are the God who makes the barren woman a joyful mother of children (Psalm 113:9). We trust You to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). Strengthen her faith, Lord. Give her patience in the waiting. Fill her with Your joy, even in the midst of sorrow. And may Your name be glorified in this situation, no matter the outcome.

We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
 
We hear the deep ache in your words, the years of longing, the hurtful words from your mother-in-law, the distance between you and your husband, and now the threat of divorce. That is an enormous weight to carry, and we are so sorry you’re walking through this.

When bitterness takes root, it often grows out of grief that hasn’t been fully tended. Infertility is a profound loss, and the pain can make a marriage feel like a battleground instead of a safe place. The bitterness you feel, and that your husband feels, may be less about the lack of a child and more about the unprocessed sorrow, the misunderstandings, and the outside voices that have pulled you apart. We don’t want to minimize that; your hurt is real.

A practical step we’d gently suggest is to ask your husband to meet with a pastor or a Christian counselor together, not just to “fix” the childlessness, but to help you both grieve what you’ve lost and heal the relational wounds. A counselor can give you both tools to communicate, to face the disappointment without letting it turn into blame, and to decide, together, what the next season of your marriage might look like. You don’t have to sort through all this alone.

Even if you cannot see it now, your marriage is worth fighting for, not because it’s perfect, but because God uses even broken places to do new things. We are asking Him to bring comfort to your heart, to soften your husband’s heart toward reconciliation, and to give you both wisdom.

Please pray with us:

Father, we lift up this wife to You. You see her tears, her loneliness, and her longing for a child. Wrap her in Your peace. Guard her from bitterness, and give her the courage to reach out for wise, godly help. We pray for her husband, ease his anger and draw him toward mercy. If it honors You, restore this marriage and make it a place of mutual care. In the waiting, be their portion and their hope. In Jesus’ name, amen.
 
The sight of the cross brings bitterness into the soul, because it shows us what sin is and what are its ultimate issues. Yet it is in that very bitterness that Christ becomes very sweet. There is not a Word that ever fell from those dear lips but what bears healing in it for some one or other of the thousand ills that have befallen our humanity. A leaf of the Tree of Life is a medicine fitted to raise the dead.

You write of a husband, of a mother-in-law, of years of sorrow and barrenness. Your spirit cries out for consolation, and my glorious Master alone can give a word in season for a broken heart. Your heart is broken, yes, with deep and poignant sorrow, not only for what others have done, but, if the Spirit is teaching you, on account of sin itself. It is a bitter thing to taste the gall of a divided household, to drink the wormwood of rejection. But know that the curse is turned into a blessing, the poison acts as a medicine. That which kills the impenitent helps the cure of a believer. If you look to Him whom you have pierced, you shall find that He was wounded for your transgressions, and the chastisement of your peace was upon Him. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

Do you say you have fallen, that you are not fit? He can create in you a clean heart and renew a right spirit within you. I have sometimes heard of a bone that, after fracture, has become stronger than before. The very falling into sin may be blessed of God to make one more careful afterward. That Divine Grace which saves a soul is not a noisy thing, neither is it visible to any but the receiver. The Lord, the God of Peace, has on His part prepared everything that is necessary for a perfect reconciliation. We are not sent to find out a way, for the word of reconciliation is already committed unto us. The first thing you must do is to trust Jesus Christ, that is the only thing which the Gospel demands of you as the grand condition of reconciliation with God.

You long for the bitterness between you and your husband to end. The healing power of the Lord is conspicuously present when His teaching is heard. Every truth of God has a bearing upon you. If you are in the gall of bitterness, tremble under it, but do not flee. As soon as it was discovered that the power of healing was present, loving hearts brought a palsied man who could not come of himself. Are you palsied by grief, unable to move? Then let others bring you before the Lord in prayer, even as I lift you now. It is a sentence from One who is authorized to absolve that brings first forgiveness, then healing. First, He said to the palsied man, "Thy sins be forgiven thee." Then he rose and walked. So let your cry be for pardon, for a tender conscience, a yielding spirit, and leave the ordering of your womb and your home to Him.

The Lord has always dealt graciously with us. He has been as tender as a nurse with her child. He will not give His mercies roughly. Many a child of God, when weary, has renewed his strength at the remembrance of pardoning mercy. Cast yourself entirely upon Him. Trust Him, and let your heart be sustained by the loving-kindnesses of the Lord, who carries His children and pities them as a father pities his own. Look no longer at the cruelty of others or at your own emptiness, but at the fullness of Christ. He is able to restore that which is broken; He can make the dry tree to bud. Leave your bitterness at His cross, and take up His sweetness.
 
May God in Jesus' name answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy. God is so in love with you. Be Encouraged!

Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

Heal Me Lord Jesus Spirit, Soul, And Body​

 
The root of bitterness that has sprung up through your mother-in-law is defiling your entire household, and this is why you see nothing but strife and sorrow. Look diligently at what Scripture calls a root of bitterness: it never bears sweet fruit; it only brings hatred and abomination. When you allowed this root to grow unchecked, it poisoned your husband’s heart against you, and now you both suffer its bitter harvest. Do not merely pray for the bitterness to end; you must, with God’s help, cut out that root entirely. Stop searching for a child as if that alone would heal your marriage, for the conflict has its beginning in covetousness and vainglory, not in your womb.

What God has joined together, let no man put asunder. Your husband is committing a grave injustice by seeking divorce because of barrenness, but hear also that the one who plots against his neighbor first destroys himself. He and his mother-in-law are inflicting greater harm upon their own souls than upon you. You have endured much, like Abraham in his final trial, and you must not let this bitter cup turn you to bitterness yourself. The outcome of a child is not the final measure of God’s favor; the treasure above is not stolen by earthly affliction. Desire the peace that comes from cutting away all malice and clamor, and then, whether God grants you a child or not, you will have true freedom. Entrust this trial into His hands, and let your endurance be your witness.
 
Your pain is real, and God sees it. Fourteen years of longing, of rejections, of harsh words spoken against you, none of that escapes His notice. The bitterness that has taken root between you and your husband has not come from God, and the threat of divorce is not His design. When Jesus was asked about divorce, He pointed back to the beginning, to a Maker who joined a husband and wife for life. The provision under the law was never the ideal; it was a concession to hard hearts. Your husband’s heart has been hardened by the very things meant to tear you apart, and your mother-in-law’s words have only poured fuel on that fire. But God’s original intent for your marriage remains: a lifetime commitment that reflects His faithful love.

In the midst of this storm, remember where true life comes from. The One who was born in a stable, laid in a feeding trough because there was no room, came to fulfill every promise of God. His birth was the sign that God visits us in our lowest places, not when everything is neat and tidy. Right now, your situation may feel like that crowded inn, no space for hope, no room for a child. Yet the children of promise are not brought forth by human effort alone. The child in the manger was the fulfillment of God’s own timing, “when the days were accomplished.” He knows your desire for a baby; He shaped that longing. Entrust it to Him, even when the medical treatments fail and you cannot see the reason.

But do not let your identity hang on conceiving. As dearly as you long for a son or daughter, you yourself are a daughter of the Most High through Christ. The law could never make anyone a true heir; it could only point out what we lacked. When the time was right, God sent His Son, born under the law, to redeem us and give us the full rights of sons. If you are in Christ, you are no longer a servant hoping to earn favor, you are an heir, and God is your Father who hears you when you pray. This does not cancel your desire, but it anchors your worth somewhere unshakeable. No fertility struggle can add to or subtract from your standing before Him.

The conflicts in your home are a symptom of deeper spiritual need. Zeal without knowledge, as Scripture says, can be destructive. So much of the pressure, the accusations, and the shame comes from a place that does not understand the heart of God. The Lord watches over the downcast and the outcast; He has a tender care for the wife who feels rejected. He does not break the bruised reed, nor does He despise the sorrowful cry. Take refuge in that.

Let the love that fulfills the law be your guide, even toward those who have hurt you. Love is patient and kind; it bears all things. That does not mean pretending the wounds aren’t there, but it means refusing to let bitterness have the final word. Pray that God would soften your husband’s heart and turn it back to you, not because you have earned it by giving him a child, but because mercy changes everything. Ask Him to quiet the strife stirred up by hurtful words, and to pour out a spirit of reconciliation.

Stand on the truth that in Christ, the curse of barrenness has no power over you. He became a curse for us when He hung on the tree, so that every disgrace might be lifted. Your body, your marriage, and your future are held by the One who raises the dead. While you wait, let your life create a thirst in others for the God who sustains you. You are not alone in this; many are agreeing with you in prayer, asking for a work of God’s hand, whether that is the gift of a child, the healing of your marriage, or both. Keep bringing your request to Him, and let the peace that passes understanding guard your heart and your home.
 
We want to thank you for trusting us with your heartfelt prayer request. It has been our privilege to stand in the gap with you, lifting up your marriage, your desire for a child, and the painful divisions that have come between you and your husband. We have prayed earnestly for healing in your relationship, for the bitterness to be replaced with love and understanding, and for God’s peace to guard your hearts during this difficult season.

We continue to hold fast to faith, believing that God hears your cries and sees your tears. If in these past days He has moved in your situation—whether through a softening of hearts, a renewed sense of hope, or even the miracle of new life—we would be overjoyed to hear your praise report. Please share with us how God has worked, so that we may rejoice together in His faithfulness.

If, however, the struggle persists and the weight of this trial still feels heavy upon you, we encourage you to post this request again. We are committed to standing with you in prayer, interceding for restoration in your marriage, for the chains of discord to be broken, and for the blessing of a child to come in God’s perfect timing. You are not alone in this battle, and we will not grow weary in praying for God’s will to be done in your life.

May the Lord draw near to you in this time, comforting you with His presence and strengthening you with His grace. May He heal the wounds of the past, mend what has been broken, and fill your home with His love and peace. We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus, trusting that He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it.
