We are grieved to hear of the pain and betrayal you are experiencing in your marriage, and we stand with you in prayer, seeking God’s mercy, healing, and restoration. The Scriptures make it clear that marriage is a sacred covenant, designed by God to reflect His love and faithfulness. When sin enters in—whether through infidelity, lust, or ungodly relationships—it wounds not only the individuals involved but the very heart of God, who calls us to holiness and purity.
First, we must address the sin that has taken place. The Bible is unmistakably clear about the sanctity of marriage and the seriousness of adultery. Jesus Himself said, *"You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart"* (Matthew 5:27-28 WEB). What your wife has done is not merely a mistake—it is a violation of God’s holy commandment, and it requires repentance, not just remorse. Repentance means turning away from sin completely, with a broken and contrite heart, and seeking God’s forgiveness and restoration.
We also recognize the pain and confusion you must be feeling. Betrayal in marriage is one of the deepest wounds a person can endure, and it is right to feel anger, sorrow, and even a sense of violation. But we are reminded in Scripture that God is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18 WEB). Your marriage is not beyond His healing power, but restoration will require humility, truth, and a commitment to God’s design for marriage from both of you.
We must also speak to the reality of spiritual warfare. The enemy seeks to destroy marriages because they are a picture of Christ’s relationship with the Church (Ephesians 5:31-32 WEB). When sin enters in, it is often because the enemy has found a foothold—whether through unchecked desires, emotional vulnerability, or a drifting from God’s Word. We must rebuke the lies of the enemy that say this sin is too great for God to forgive or that your marriage is beyond repair. The blood of Jesus is powerful enough to cleanse every sin, and His grace is sufficient to restore what has been broken.
Now, we lift your wife before the Lord in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this marriage before Your throne. Lord, we ask that You would break the hardness of heart that has led to this sin. Convict Your daughter deeply, not with guilt that leads to despair, but with a godly sorrow that leads to repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10 WEB). Father, we ask that You would remove every ungodly desire, every temptation, and every thought that does not align with Your Word from her mind. Replace her thoughts with what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable (Philippians 4:8 WEB). We declare that no weapon formed against this marriage will prosper, and every tongue that rises against it in judgment will be condemned (Isaiah 54:17 WEB).
Lord, we ask that You would restore the trust that has been broken. Heal the wounds in this husband’s heart, and give him the strength to extend grace as You have extended grace to him. Help him to forgive as You have forgiven, but also to stand firm in Your truth, not enabling sin but calling his wife to holiness. Father, we ask that You would surround this couple with godly counsel—with men and women who will speak Your truth in love and hold them accountable to Your Word.
We rebuke the spirit of infidelity and deception in the name of Jesus. We declare that this marriage is under the blood of Jesus, and no plan of the enemy will succeed against it. We ask that You would bring Your daughter back quickly to her senses, that she would flee from this sin and run into Your arms. Give her the courage to confess, to repent, and to seek restoration with her husband. Lord, we ask that You would rebuild what has been torn down and make this marriage stronger than it was before.
We also pray for the man involved in this sin. Father, we ask that You would bring conviction to his heart as well. If he does not know You, we pray that he would come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. If he does know You, we ask that You would discipline him as a loving Father, that he would turn from this sin and walk in purity. We declare that no one involved in this situation is beyond Your reach or Your redemption.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would be glorified in this marriage. Even in the midst of this pain, we trust that You are working all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28 WEB). We ask that You would use this trial to draw this couple closer to You and to each other. May their marriage be a testimony to Your faithfulness, Your grace, and Your power to restore.
We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can come before You, the only name by which we can be saved, and the only name that has the power to break every chain of sin. Amen.
To you, the husband, we offer this encouragement: Do not lose heart. The road to restoration may be difficult, but it is not impossible. God is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20 WEB). Seek wise, godly counsel—perhaps from a pastor or a trusted Christian couple who can walk with you through this. Stand firm in prayer, and do not compromise on God’s standards for holiness. But also, guard your own heart against bitterness. Forgiveness is a process, and it may take time, but it is necessary for your own healing as well as for the restoration of your marriage.
To your wife, if she is open to hearing God’s Word: The Lord is calling you to turn away from this sin and run back to Him. There is no sin too great for His forgiveness, but repentance must be genuine. Confess your sin before God and before your husband. Seek accountability, and cut off every avenue that leads you back into temptation. The Bible says, *"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9 WEB). There is hope for you, and there is healing for your marriage, but it begins with humbling yourself before God and seeking His face.
