Jesus Christ please help me

[Spaynor]

Dear God please help my wife. She is a mean alcoholic and I really don't want to be around her anymore. I think that she is mad at me because I have chosen to not drink alcohol anymore. I forgive her just like you forgive me. I have not had any alcohol for the past 4 days and I have slept with her for the last 4 days trying my best to get along with her and to be together and she comes to bed late at night drunk and talks mean to me to try to upset me but I have kept myself quiet and have only said nice things to her. I'm going to go back to the other bedroom to sleep by myself. I'm sorry but I would rather be by myself then with someone who is going to be mean to me. Please help us please soften our hearts and to help each other. Please let me have a good night's sleep tonight and please continue to help me not drink alcohol just one day at a time. Amen

We hear your pain and frustration, and we come before the Lord together on your behalf, lifting up your marriage and your own struggle with sobriety. First, we want to commend you for your commitment to abstaining from alcohol, this is a difficult but godly choice, and we pray for your continued strength in this battle. The Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 10:13, "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." You are not alone in this fight, and God is faithful to provide a way out when temptation comes.

We also see the deep hurt in your heart as you describe your wife’s behavior. It is not wrong to desire peace and kindness in your marriage, and it is understandable that you would feel the need to create some distance for your own well-being. However, we must gently remind you that marriage is a covenant before God, and He calls us to love our spouses even when it is difficult. Ephesians 5:25 says, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it." This does not mean enduring abuse or enabling sin, but it does mean praying for her, extending grace, and seeking God’s wisdom in how to respond.

Your wife’s struggle with alcohol is a serious one, and her behavior toward you is not pleasing to the Lord. We rebuke the spirit of addiction and anger in her life, and we pray that God would break the chains of alcoholism over her. Proverbs 20:1 warns, "Wine is a mocker, and beer is a brawler. Whoever is led astray by them is not wise." Her actions are harmful not only to herself but to your marriage, and we pray for conviction and repentance in her heart. At the same time, we encourage you to continue setting boundaries that protect your own heart and sobriety while still extending Christlike love.

We also want to address the importance of unity in marriage. While it is wise to create physical space when emotions are raw, separation should not be a permanent solution. Instead, we encourage you to seek godly counsel, whether through a pastor, a Christian counselor, or a support group for families dealing with addiction. James 5:16 says, "Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective." There is power in bringing your struggles before the Lord together with others who can support you.

Let us pray for you now:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this marriage to You. Lord, we ask that You would soften both of their hearts and draw them closer to You. We pray for this husband, that You would continue to strengthen him in his sobriety and fill him with Your peace. Give him wisdom in how to love his wife well, even when it is difficult. We rebuke the spirit of addiction in her life, and we ask that You would break its power over her. Convict her of her sin, Lord, and lead her to repentance. Restore kindness and love in their marriage, and help them to seek You together. We ask that You would give them both restful sleep tonight and fill their home with Your presence. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in this situation. Consider fasting and praying for your wife, asking God to reveal His love and truth to her. If she is open to it, invite her to join you in prayer or to attend a church service with you. Above all, remember that God sees your pain and your efforts, and He is working even when you cannot see it. Keep pressing into Him, and trust that He will guide your steps.

Thank you for trusting us with something this heavy. Four days without alcohol is no small thing, and asking God for help one day at a time is honest and strong. Your choice to move to the other bedroom tonight is not a failure of love or forgiveness. It is a way to guard the sobriety God is giving you and to get the rest you need so you can keep responding with kindness rather than being worn down.

You cannot carry your wife’s drinking or her anger, and you do not have to pretend it is not painful. Please do not walk through this alone. Let your pastor or a wise Christian counselor know what you are facing this week, and ask specifically about a support group for family members affected by alcohol. Having steady people who understand this road will help you stay grounded while you keep taking your own next right step.

Lord, we lift up this husband to you. Thank you for carrying him through these four days. Keep him from alcohol tonight and each day ahead, and give him the sleep his body and spirit need. Watch over his wife, quiet her heart, and lead her to a place where she can receive help. Give him wisdom about when to step close and when to step back, and hold both of them in your mercy. In Jesus’ name, amen.

[Spurgeon]

Your prayer has come before the Lord, and I will not mock it with easy comforts. You have done well to put the bottle aside for four days, but do not imagine that this small beginning has made you the judge of your wife. You stand only because Christ has laid hold of you. If you have truly tasted the forgiveness of God, then you know that it is free, full, continued, and given to the undeserving. That is the only forgiveness you may bring to your wife. Yet forgiveness does not mean that you must share her bed while she returns drunk and reviles you. There is no sin in taking the other room for the night, provided you take it without wrath and without renouncing the covenant. Let the separate room be for sleep and prayer, not for a cold and final division of hearts.

Your wife’s drunkenness is sin, and her cruel speech is the fruit of bondage. Do not bless it, and do not pretend it is a small matter. But remember that there is forgiveness with God, even for her, if she will repent and trust in Christ. The Lord Jesus loved His bride and gave Himself for her, and He calls you to love your wife, not because she is lovely, but because He first loved you. That love may require you to speak the truth to her in a sober hour, to seek help from the elders of the church, and to set clear boundaries that refuse to coddle her sin. It does not require you to be her cushion while she wounds you with drunken words.

The desire to flee is natural, but do not make it a settled resolve. You are not called to escape, but to overcome evil with good. Marriage is for life, and the Lord hates divorce. Do not let the evil one turn a separate bed into a separate life. The covenant remains; you are one flesh.

You asked for a good night’s sleep. God may grant it, but your truest rest is in Christ, who forgives you and keeps you. Do not look to the other bedroom as your savior. Look to Him who is able to keep you from falling, one hour at a time, one moment at a time. Pray for your wife with tears, bring her name before the mercy seat, and do not grow weary. The Lord can break the hardest heart and make a drunkard sober and a cruel tongue gentle. Hope in Him, and while you hope, keep yourself from the drink that has already wounded your household.

I will pray that the Lord would soften both your hearts, deliver her from strong drink, preserve you in sobriety, and restore your marriage to the honor of Christ, not by winking at sin, but by putting sin to death through the cross.

[Chrysostom]

Your prayer has been heard and we thank you for sharing it with such honesty. We join you in thanking God for these four days without alcohol. That is a real mercy and a difficult victory, and we pray He will continue to strengthen you one day at a time to walk in sobriety and clarity.

We also hear your pain in your marriage. It is good that you have chosen forgiveness and that you have answered unkind words with quietness and kind words. Scripture calls us to deprecate conflicts instead of rushing into them, and to show nobleness of spirit by waiting patiently and not returning evil for evil. Your quietness in those late night moments is not weakness but strength before God.

Marriage is a bond ordained by God, and it is meant to be lived in holiness and peace. Holiness in marriage means a chaste and orderly life together, faithful and sober. It is not wine itself that causes drunkenness but the use of it beyond measure and without restraint, and that excess brings conflict and sorrow into the home. Every conflict of this kind has a root, and when the root of excess and harsh words is cut away, peace can grow. We pray that God will cut away that root in both of your lives.

Your desire to sleep in another room for a night to find peace and rest and to avoid a quarrel is understandable. Seeking peace is right, and a good night's sleep is a gift from God that helps you remain patient and sober. At the same time we encourage you not to withdraw from love and care for your wife. There is hope that a faithful spouse may help reclaim the other by steadfast love, prayer, and a consistent example. Continue to pursue peace with her while also pursuing holiness.

We are praying for you in this way:

Father, we thank you for this brother's desire to follow you and to turn from alcohol. Keep him day by day, give him strength to remain sober, and grant him a peaceful night's sleep. Soften both hearts in this home. Deliver his wife from bondage to alcohol and from the harshness that comes with it. Teach them both to despise quarreling and to value what is eternal over what is passing. Help them to speak truth in love, to forgive as you have forgiven us through Jesus Christ alone, and to seek help and counsel that honors you. Make their marriage a place of honor, faithfulness, and self control.

We encourage you to stay rooted in Christ, to remain in daily prayer and in the Word, and to seek wise and godly support near you for your sobriety and for your marriage. This may be a pastor, a trusted mature believer, or a Christ centered recovery group that can walk with you consistently and also help you know how to love your wife well while not enabling drunkenness. If there is ever any danger, please seek help at once from trusted family, church leaders, or appropriate services.

Keep forgiving, keep praying, keep doing what is good and quiet before the Lord. God sees your effort to get along and to keep your tongue from harshness. We will continue to pray that He softens hearts, brings healing, and helps you both to help each other in love.

May the Lord grant you rest tonight and grace for tomorrow.
