We lift you and your wife before the Lord with heavy hearts, knowing that marriage is a sacred covenant ordained by God, and He hates divorce (Malachi 2:16, WEB). Your cry for deliverance and restoration is heard, and we stand with you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, who alone has the power to break every chain and set the captives free.
First, we praise God that you are redeemed, saved, and a born-again child of God. Your faith in Christ is your anchor, and we encourage you to hold fast to Him in this storm. Your wife’s salvation and deliverance are critical, for how can two walk together unless they are agreed? (Amos 3:3, WEB). The spiritual bondage she is under—ancestral ties, bitterness, unforgiveness, and rebellion—are tools of the enemy to destroy what God has joined together. But be encouraged: *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me,"* says Yahweh (Isaiah 54:17, WEB).
Your wife’s disrespect and rebellion are not just against you but against God’s design for marriage, where wives are called to submit to their husbands as unto the Lord (Ephesians 5:22-24, WEB). Likewise, husbands are commanded to love their wives as Christ loved the church—sacrificially, patiently, and with unwavering commitment (Ephesians 5:25-33, WEB). This is not a time to retaliate or grow bitter but to cover her in prayer, demonstrating Christ’s love even in her rebellion. Remember, *"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things"* (1 Corinthians 13:7, WEB). Your consistent, Christlike love may be the very thing God uses to soften her heart.
The generational curses, evil patterns, and strongholds you describe are real, but they are no match for the blood of Jesus. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10, WEB), but Christ came to give life abundantly. You have authority in Jesus’ name to break these curses and cancel every evil assignment against your marriage, finances, health, and future. *"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7, WEB). Stand firm in this truth: *"For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh; for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds"* (2 Corinthians 10:3-4, WEB).
The threat of divorce is a serious attack on God’s plan for your lives. But take heart—God specializes in restoring what is broken. He can turn your wife’s heart back to Him and to you, just as He turned the heart of the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32, WEB). Pray fervently for her salvation and repentance, for *"the Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance"* (2 Peter 3:9, WEB). Fast and intercede for her as if her eternal soul depends on it—because it does.
As for the legal threat, we pray that every plan of the enemy to dissolve this marriage be exposed and thwarted. May any paperwork be delayed or rendered powerless, and may God grant you wisdom, favor with authorities, and divine intervention to protect your union. *"The king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires"* (Proverbs 21:1, WEB). Trust that God can turn even this situation for His glory.
We also address the cycles of poverty, failure, and sickness. These are not God’s will for His children. Jesus bore these curses on the cross so that you might walk in blessing (Galatians 3:13-14, WEB). Claim His promises over your life: *"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers"* (3 John 1:2, WEB). Reject the lies of the enemy that say you are destined for lack or defeat. Instead, declare that *"you are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting our brother and his wife into Your hands. Lord, You are the God of breakthroughs, the Chain-Breaker, and the Restorer of all things. We ask that You move mightily in their marriage, which is under attack. Father, we bind every spirit of division, rebellion, bitterness, and unforgiveness operating in their lives. Let every ancestral curse, generational stronghold, and evil pattern be broken by the power of the blood of Jesus. We declare that no weapon formed against this marriage shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against it in judgment shall be condemned (Isaiah 54:17).
Lord, we pray specifically for our sister, this wife and mother. Soften her heart, Lord, and draw her to Yourself. Break the chains of bondage that have held her captive—whether ancestral ties, bitterness, or the lies of the enemy. Open her eyes to see the truth of Your love and the destruction her choices are bringing. Convict her of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8), and lead her to repentance. Let her encounter You in a way she cannot deny, and may she surrender her life to Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of divorce that has been released against this marriage. Let every legal document be rendered powerless, and let confusion come into the camp of the enemy. Raise up a standard against this attack, and let Your will prevail. Restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25) and rebuild the walls of trust, love, and commitment in this marriage.
We pray for deliverance from every addiction—whether spiritual, emotional, or physical—that has tried to ruin their lives. Break the power of these bondages, Lord, and set them free to walk in the abundance You have planned for them. We cancel every evil conspiracy against their progress, prosperity, and health. Let cycles of poverty, failure, and sickness be broken in Jesus’ name. Release Your blessing, favor, and supernatural provision over their lives.
Father, we ask for wisdom and strength for our brother as he leads his home. Fill him with Your love, patience, and discernment. Let him be a light in the darkness, demonstrating Your grace even in the face of rebellion. Protect his heart from bitterness and his mind from despair. Surround him with godly counsel and support.
Lord, we declare that this marriage will not end in defeat but in victory. You are the God who raises the dead and calls things that are not as though they were (Romans 4:17). We speak life into this union and command every dead area to rise again in Jesus’ name. Let this testimony be one of Your redemption, restoration, and miraculous intervention.
Finally, Father, we thank You for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your timing and Your ways, knowing that You work all things together for good for those who love You (Romans 8:28). Let Your will be done in their lives, and may Your name be glorified through their story.
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Brother, we urge you to remain steadfast in prayer and fasting. Gather other believers to stand with you in agreement, for *"where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them"* (Matthew 18:20, WEB). Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not faint (Galatians 6:9). Keep your heart pure, your faith strong, and your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith.
If your wife has not yet received Christ, continue to share the Gospel with her in love. Remind her that *"if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9, WEB). Her eternal soul is at stake, and your prayers may be the very thing God uses to draw her to Himself.
Lastly, examine your own heart and ensure there is no unconfessed sin or bitterness taking root. Forgive her as Christ has forgiven you (Colossians 3:13), and trust God to fight this battle on your behalf. He is faithful, and He will do it (1 Thessalonians 5:24).
