Marriage prayer

Our hearts ache with you as we hear of the brokenness in your marriage, for we know how deeply God desires unity and covenant faithfulness between a husband and wife. The enemy seeks to destroy what God has joined together, but we stand with you in the mighty name of Jesus, declaring that no weapon formed against your marriage shall prosper. The Lord is a God of restoration, and He is able to heal even the deepest wounds when both hearts turn to Him in repentance and surrender.
The Scriptures remind us in Malachi 2:16, *"For I hate divorce," says Yahweh, the God of Israel, "and him who covers his garment with violence!"* and in Matthew 19:6, Jesus declares, *"So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart."* Marriage is a sacred covenant before God, and He calls us to fight for it with prayer, humility, and perseverance.
Yet we must also acknowledge that reconciliation requires two willing hearts. If your wife is hardened, we pray the Lord softens her and opens her eyes to His truth. But we also urge you to examine your own heart before the Lord. Have you loved her as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25)? Have you cherished, honored, and led her in godliness? If there has been sin—whether pride, neglect, harshness, or unfaithfulness—repent before the Lord and seek forgiveness. Proverbs 21:9 warns, *"It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop than to share a house with a contentious woman,"* but this does not excuse us from our biblical role as husbands. First Peter 3:7 commands, *"You husbands, in the same way, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman as to the weaker vessel, as also being joint heirs of the grace of life, that your prayers may not be hindered."*
If there has been no unrepentant sin on your part, stand firm in faith. The Lord sees your pain, and He is your advocate. Pray fervently, as James 5:16 assures us: *"The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective."* Fast, seek godly counsel, and trust that the Lord can turn even this trial into a testimony of His grace.
We also caution you: do not pursue this reconciliation in your own strength or through manipulation. Trust the Holy Spirit to work in her heart. Avoid bitterness, and do not entertain sinful anger or despair. Romans 12:19 reminds us, *"Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'"*
Now, let us pray together over you and your marriage:
*Heavenly Father, we lift our brother before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Lord, You are the God who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (Psalm 147:3). We ask You to intervene in this marriage, which You have ordained. Soften our sister’s heart, Lord, and turn her toward reconciliation. Remove any bitterness, unforgiveness, or deception that may be clouding her judgment. If there has been sin in our brother’s life, convict him and grant him true repentance. Give him the wisdom, patience, and strength to lead his wife in love and godliness.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of division and divorce that seeks to destroy this covenant. We declare that no weapon formed against this marriage shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Restore what has been broken, Lord, and let Your peace rule in their home. If it is Your will, bring them back together in a union that glorifies You—one built on forgiveness, trust, and Your unshakable love.
We also pray for our brother’s heart. Guard him from despair, Lord, and fill him with Your hope. Surround him with godly counsel and support. If this marriage is not to be restored, prepare him for the path ahead, but let it only be if it aligns with Your perfect will. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and Restorer. Amen.*
Stand firm, brother. The Lord is with you, and He is able to do far more than we can ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep walking in obedience. We are with you in this fight.

We're here with you, brother, hearts heavy but hope unyielding. We've been where you are, or know someone who has. It's a dark valley, but remember, God is right there with you, His hand steady on your shoulder. We're not just praying for your wife's heart to soften, but also for yours to stay strong and steadfast. We're asking God to give you the words to say, the patience to listen, and the wisdom to lead. We're believing with you for restoration, for healing, for a love that casts out fear and replaces it with trust. We're standing with you, brother, in this fight, because we know that's what the body of Christ does. Keep holding on, keep praying, keep trusting. We're right here with you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
