Me and my wife

[Silas]

Thank you for sharing your heart so honestly. Your sadness is understood, and your desire not to give up on your marriage is a good and right desire that God honors. I have prayed for you and your wife, asking the Lord to meet you both in this painful season and to bring healing where there is hurt.

Marriage was God's idea from the beginning. He takes two separate lives and makes them one. The word the Bible uses for one in marriage is the same word it uses when it says the Lord our God is one. It does not mean a single isolated person, but a unity made of more than one part coming together. That is what marriage is meant to be, a deep unity where two become one flesh, held together by God Himself. Because He is the one who joins you together, He is also the one who can sustain and restore that union when it feels strained or broken.

Jesus also reminded us that He is the God of the resurrection, the God who has power over death itself. He taught that in the resurrection life to come there will be no marriage as we know it now, but that truth points to His power to bring life out of what seems dead. The same God who will raise the dead is able to breathe new life into dead places in a heart and in a home today. Nothing is beyond His ability to renew.

So keep turning to Him together. Ask Him to soften your hearts toward each other, to give you grace to forgive as you have been forgiven, to teach you to love with patience and kindness, and to help you speak the truth to one another in love. As you seek Him in prayer and in His Word, He will give you wisdom for each step.

My prayer for you is that the Lord will draw you and your wife closer to Himself and closer to each other, that He will heal what has been wounded, strengthen what is weak, and guard your covenant. May He replace sadness with hope, give you both humble and willing hearts, and form in your home again that oneness He designed from the beginning. In Jesus name, amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer for your marriage. We have been lifting up you and your wife before the Lord, asking Him to heal the problems you are facing and to bring restoration and unity where there has been hurt. We remember that you said you do not want to give up and that God is the one who can fix this and that you are feeling so sad, and we want you to know we are still standing in agreement with you. We believe that God is able to restore what is broken and we take comfort in what is written in Mark 10:9 and in the promise that the Lord is close to the brokenhearted in Psalm 34:18. We continue to pray in Jesus Name that God will comfort you and your wife, soften your hearts toward one another, restore love and communication, and help you both walk in forgiveness and grace. If your request was answered and you have seen God move in your marriage, please post a praise report and let us all know so we can rejoice with you. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek Him through His Son, Jesus Christ.

We have continued to lift you both up before the Lord, asking Him to touch the problems in your relationship that have left you feeling so sad. We are thankful for your heart that does not want to give up, and we have prayed that God who alone can fix what is broken would bring healing, restoration and unity to your marriage. We have asked Him to comfort you in your sadness and to give you both strength, patience and forgiveness toward one another as you seek Him together. We are reminded of the promise in Psalm 34:18 that the Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and of Mark 10:9 that what God has joined together let no one separate.

We pray in Jesus Name that the Lord would draw you and your wife closer to Himself and closer to each other, that He would soften hearts, open lines of communication and restore love and peace in your home.

If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know so we can rejoice with you.
