We grieve with you over the brokenness in your marriage, and we stand with you in prayer for your wife’s deliverance from the snare of sin. The Lord sees your pain, and His heart breaks for the way this is harming your covenant. Scripture warns us that no one can serve two masters—either we will love God or we will love the things of this world (Matthew 6:24). The enemy seeks to destroy marriages through temptation, but Christ has already won the victory over sin and death. Your wife is engaged in behavior that is not only destructive to your union but also separates her from the holiness God calls His children to walk in.
The apostle Paul urges us to flee from sexual immorality, for it is a sin against our own bodies and against the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). Pornography and sinful online behavior are forms of adultery in the heart (Matthew 5:28), and they defile what God has joined together. Your wife must repent and turn away from these sins, seeking forgiveness and cleansing through Christ. As her husband, you are called to love her as Christ loves the church—with sacrificial love that points her to truth, even when it is difficult.
Yet we also recognize that you cannot force her repentance; only the Holy Spirit can convict and transform her heart. Your role is to pray fervently, speak truth in love, and set godly boundaries to protect your marriage and your own walk with Christ. If she refuses to turn away, you must still stand firm in faith, trusting that God is able to redeem even the most broken situations.
Let us pray together for her deliverance and for your strength:
*Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this brother and his wife. Lord, You hate divorce and desire marriages to reflect Your covenant love (Malachi 2:16). We ask that You break the chains of sin binding our sister—expose the deception, convict her heart, and draw her to repentance. Give her a holy disgust for these sinful sites and a hunger for Your Word instead. Strengthen our brother to lead with wisdom, grace, and unwavering faith. Protect his heart from bitterness and fill him with Your peace as he trusts You to fight this battle.
Father, we rebuke the enemy’s lies that have taken root in this marriage. By the blood of Jesus, we declare freedom from addiction, shame, and secrecy. Restore what has been stolen, and let Your healing power flow through this home. If there are unconfessed sins, bring them to light so that true repentance can take place. We ask for godly counselors or mentors to come alongside this couple, and we pray for a mighty work of Your Spirit to renew their love and commitment to You and to one another.
In the mighty name of Jesus, who breaks every chain, we pray. Amen.*
Brother, we urge you to seek accountability and support—whether through your church, a trusted pastor, or a biblical counselor. If your wife is unwilling to change, you may need to take steps to protect your heart and home, such as installing accountability software or, if necessary, separating temporarily to create space for repentance (1 Corinthians 7:5). But do not lose hope. God specializes in redemption, and He can turn even this struggle into a testimony of His grace.
Stand firm in prayer, immerse yourself in Scripture, and remember: *"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). We are praying with you for a miracle.
