We understand the struggles within marriage can be deeply painful, and we lift this situation before the Lord with urgency and compassion. Marriage is a sacred covenant before God, designed to reflect Christ’s love for His Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). Yet, even in this holy union, we face brokenness, sin, and trials that can strain the bond between husband and wife. The enemy seeks to destroy what God has joined together, but we stand firmly on the truth that with God, restoration and healing are possible.
First, we must address the foundation of any prayer: it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved (Acts 4:12), and it is through Him alone that we can approach God’s throne with confidence (Hebrews 4:16). If the name of Jesus is not central in our prayers, we are not truly seeking God’s will or power. We encourage you to always pray in the name of Jesus, for He is our Mediator and the source of all hope and strength.
Now, regarding the struggles in this marriage, we must ask: are both spouses walking in obedience to God’s Word? Are there unconfessed sins, bitterness, or unforgiveness that are creating division? Scripture warns us that a house divided against itself cannot stand (Mark 3:25). If there is sin—whether it be pride, anger, lust, or any other transgression—it must be repented of and turned away from. Forgiveness is not optional for the believer; it is a command (Colossians 3:13). Holding onto resentment only harms the one who refuses to let go. We urge both spouses to examine their hearts before the Lord and ask Him to reveal any area that needs repentance.
If there has been infidelity, whether physical or emotional, it is a grievous sin against God and the marriage covenant. Adultery defiles what God has declared holy (Hebrews 13:4), and it must be confronted with truth and repentance. Yet even in this, God’s grace is sufficient to heal and restore if both parties are willing to turn back to Him. The path forward requires humility, transparency, and a commitment to rebuild trust through Christ. We strongly encourage seeking godly counsel from a pastor or biblical counselor who can walk alongside the couple in this process.
For the spouse who feels wounded or betrayed, we acknowledge your pain and ask the Lord to be your Comforter. Psalm 34:18 reminds us that "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." You are not alone in this, and God sees your tears. However, we also caution against allowing bitterness to take root. Bitterness is a poison that destroys the one who harbors it (Hebrews 12:15). Instead, surrender your pain to Jesus, who was betrayed and abandoned yet responded with love and forgiveness.
For the spouse who has caused harm, we urge you to take full responsibility for your actions. True repentance involves turning away from sin and making amends where possible (Luke 19:8-9). It is not enough to feel sorry; there must be a visible change in behavior and a commitment to walk in integrity. If you have strayed, return to the Lord with a contrite heart, and He will forgive and cleanse you (1 John 1:9). Then, seek to rebuild what has been broken with patience and humility.
To both spouses, we say this: marriage is not about happiness, but holiness. It is a refining fire that exposes our selfishness and calls us to die to ourselves daily. Love is not a feeling but a choice—a choice to serve, to sacrifice, and to honor the vows made before God. Ephesians 5:25 commands husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the Church, giving Himself up for her. Wives are called to respect their husbands (Ephesians 5:33), not because they are perfect, but because it is God’s design for order and unity.
We also must ask: are you both actively seeking the Lord together? A marriage cannot thrive if Christ is not at the center. If prayer, Scripture, and worship have been neglected, now is the time to repent and return to these disciplines. Jesus must be the cornerstone of your home. Without Him, any effort to fix the marriage will be in vain.
Finally, we want to speak to the power of prayer and fasting. There are spiritual battles being waged over your marriage, and they require spiritual weapons (2 Corinthians 10:4). We encourage you to set aside time to fast and pray, seeking God’s intervention and breakthrough. Gather other believers to stand in agreement with you (Matthew 18:19-20), for there is power in corporate prayer.
Now, let us pray together for this marriage:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting this marriage to Your throne of grace. Lord, You are the God who restores, who heals, and who redeems. We ask You to intervene in this situation and bring conviction where there is sin, comfort where there is pain, and wisdom where there is confusion.
Father, if there has been unfaithfulness, we pray for true repentance and a turning back to You. Break the chains of sin and shame, and restore what the enemy has tried to destroy. Soften hearts that have grown hard and fill this marriage with Your love, which covers a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8).
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of division, bitterness, and strife in Jesus’ name. We declare that no weapon formed against this marriage shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Bind the enemy’s lies and replace them with Your truth. Let forgiveness flow like a river, and let reconciliation be the testimony of Your power.
Strengthen this couple to walk in obedience to Your Word. Give them the grace to love one another as You have loved them—selflessly, sacrificially, and without condition. Help them to communicate with kindness, to listen with patience, and to serve one another in humility.
We pray for a fresh outpouring of Your Spirit in their home. Let them seek You first, above all else, and let their marriage be a reflection of Your glory. Father, we ask for miracles—for hearts to be healed, for trust to be rebuilt, and for joy to be restored.
In the name of Jesus, we command every stronghold of the enemy to be torn down. We declare that this marriage is under the blood of Jesus, and we trust You to do what only You can do. May this couple emerge from this trial stronger, more united, and more dependent on You than ever before.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your faithfulness and Your perfect timing. May Your will be done in this marriage, for Your glory and their good.
In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to hold fast to hope. God is not finished with your marriage. He is the God of restoration, and He can turn ashes into beauty (Isaiah 61:3). Stay committed to prayer, to repentance, and to seeking His face. Do not give up, for the Lord fights for those who trust in Him (Exodus 14:14). Walk in obedience, and watch as He works all things together for good (Romans 8:28).
First, we must address the foundation of any prayer: it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved (Acts 4:12), and it is through Him alone that we can approach God’s throne with confidence (Hebrews 4:16).

We want to thank you for trusting us with your heartfelt prayer request regarding the struggles in your marriage. It has been our honor to lift you, your spouse, and your union before the Lord these past few days, asking Him to restore, heal, and strengthen what has been broken or strained. We know marriage is a sacred covenant, and the challenges you’re facing are not unseen by our Heavenly Father—He cares deeply about every detail of your life, including the intimacy and unity of your relationship.
As we continue to pray, we are reminded of God’s promise in Jeremiah 32:27: *"I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?"* He is able to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine, and we are believing with you for His redemption and grace to flood your home. Whether it’s softening hearts, opening lines of communication, breaking down walls of bitterness, or renewing love and commitment, we are standing in faith that He is at work—even when we cannot yet see the outcome.
If the Lord has begun to move in your situation, we would love to rejoice with you! Please share a praise report so we can give Him the glory together. If the burden still feels heavy and the answers seem delayed, do not lose heart. We encourage you to post your request again so we can continue to intercede with you, speaking life and truth over your marriage. Sometimes the battles are long, but we are here to walk with you in prayer every step of the way.
May the Lord fill you with His peace that surpasses understanding as you seek Him. May He remind you daily of His love for you and His power to restore what has been shaken. Cling to Him, even in the waiting, and trust that He is faithful to complete the good work He has started in you both.
