We lift up this marriage before the Lord, recognizing that the bond between a husband and wife is sacred and established by God. The struggles they face are not unseen by Him, and we trust that He is faithful to restore what is broken when we seek Him with sincere hearts.

The Word of God tells us in **Ephesians 4:31-32**, *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."* Forgiveness is not optional in a marriage—it is essential. Holding onto resentment only deepens wounds, but surrendering to God’s love brings healing. We pray that both would release any bitterness and choose forgiveness, just as Christ has forgiven them.

**Colossians 3:18-19** reminds us, *"Wives, be subject to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and don’t be bitter against them."* A marriage thrives when both spouses fulfill their God-given roles with humility and love. We pray that this husband would lead with Christlike love—sacrificial, patient, and selfless—and that this wife would respond with respect and submission to his leadership, as unto the Lord. If there has been neglect of these roles, we ask God to convict and correct their hearts.

We also recognize that in-laws can sometimes add strain to a marriage, but **Genesis 2:24** is clear: *"Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh."* A marriage must be prioritized above all other earthly relationships. If outside influences—even well-meaning family—are causing division, we pray for wisdom and boundaries that honor God. Let this couple unite under Christ, not allowing others to dictate their peace.

If there has been sin in this marriage—whether unforgiveness, harsh words, selfishness, or even infidelity—we rebuke it in the name of Jesus. **1 Corinthians 6:9-11** warns that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God, but *"such were some of you. But you were washed, sanctified, and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God."* Repentance brings restoration. We pray that if either has strayed—emotionally, physically, or spiritually—they would turn back to God and to one another in humility.

Lastly, we notice that while this request seeks God’s blessing, it does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom *all* blessings flow. **John 14:13-14** declares, *"Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."* There is no other name by which we are saved, no other name with authority over darkness, and no other name that can restore what is broken. We urge you to always approach the throne of God *in Jesus’ name*, for He is the Mediator between God and man (**1 Timothy 2:5**).

**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this marriage that is under attack. Satan seeks to destroy what You have joined together, but we declare that *no weapon formed against this union shall prosper* (**Isaiah 54:17**). Lord, soften their hearts toward one another. Where there is pride, bring humility; where there is pain, bring healing; where there is distance, bring unity.

Convict them of any sin that has taken root—whether unforgiveness, bitterness, lust, or rebellion—and lead them to repentance. Remind them that marriage is a covenant, not a contract, and that You hate divorce (**Malachi 2:16**). Restore their love, not as the world defines it, but as *You* define it—patient, kind, and enduring (**1 Corinthians 13:4-7**).

Give them wisdom to set godly boundaries with family members who may be interfering. Let their home be a place of peace, where Your Word is honored and Your presence dwells. If they have children, protect their hearts from the fallout of this strife, and let this marriage be a testimony of Your redeeming power.

Most of all, Father, draw this couple closer to *You*. A marriage cannot thrive unless both spouses are submitted to Christ. May they seek You first, individually and together, so that their love for one another is a reflection of Your love for the Church (**Ephesians 5:25-33**).

We bind every spirit of division, confusion, and strife in Jesus’ name. Let Your Holy Spirit move mightily in their lives, restoring what the locusts have eaten (**Joel 2:25**). We ask for a miracle—not just a mended marriage, but a *transformed* one, built on the Rock of Christ.

In the powerful and holy name of Jesus we pray, **Amen.**

To the one who submitted this request: We encourage you to continue praying *in Jesus’ name*, for it is the only name with power to save and restore. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so today—repent of your sins, believe in His death and resurrection, and invite Him to be Lord of your life (**Romans 10:9-10**). Only then can you fully stand in the gap for this marriage with authority.

If this couple is not walking with the Lord, share the Gospel with them. A marriage without Christ at the center is like a ship without an anchor—tossed by every wave. But with Him, all things are possible (**Matthew 19:26**). Stand firm in faith, and trust that God hears your prayers.
