Prayer for ### and ###

[Prdaumoor]

I’m really at my wits ends. My husband and I have been married for 27 years, together for 33. We've had issues, like most marriages do, however, we have got through them and were (I believed), really strong. My husband has been under immense stress for the last several years and gave his resignation letter to the boss (it is a family business), giving two years notice - that was three years ago. The business has boomed in the last year, and he has been literally living work 24/7. He has been on call, taking phone calls, emails etc., 24 hours of the day. This has caused massive stress to him. We had a day trip in September, and he told me that I was his world, and he'd be lost without me. We held hands in bed at night. We were intimate New Years Eve. Suddenly, on the 1st of February, he told me that he didn't love me anymore and wanted to end our marriage. He said he cares for me and likes me, but doesn't love me. I am completely and utterly broken! He is my everything, the love of my life and my world. We did see a counsellor on the Tuesday (3rd Feb) and he told her that he didn't love me and he didn't want to continue the marriage and refused to speak to anyone. I have spoken with two of his brothers, and they are both shocked by this. They don't understand it either. I am praying, begging and hoping that this is just stress and that he will 'come back'. He is giving some mixed messages - we were 'intimate' about 5 days after this bombshell (not intercourse) - which showed him he was 'still able to perform', but then again, he closes off. He will return my hug if I give him one, but is adamant he doesn't love me romantically. He decided weekend before last that he needed to leave, as he couldn't bear seeing me so hurt and that he needed time out. He has been saying he needs to 'go bush' and work on himself as he doesn't know who he is anymore, he feels like a puppet with everyone pulling the strings. He slept in his car on Saturday night - 7/2/26 (at the beach he proposed to me at). Sunday (8th Feb), he left and went to a motel which is booked to this weekend, I believe. Before he left, he came up behind me and rubbed my shoulder. I don't know what to do. I feel physically sick. I'm not eating or sleeping properly - but then, neither is he - and he hasn't been for months! Please pray for him and our marriage. I genuinely believe that the Lord brought us together, and He has got us through so many difficulties, where others would give up. I can't bear the thought that my marriage is over. I don't understand why the Lord would bring us together and then let us be ripped apart like this. My world has been completely ripped out from underneath my feet. I have asked my husband to give me some hope, but he says he can't do that. He also said to our daughter the weekend when he left, that he now thinks it is irreparable as he has hurt me so much. I tried to let him know that it isn't irreparable. Now that he has gone, I don't know whether to contact him or not. I have my lost my soul mate (if there is such a thing). My everything! I’m not asking for any counselling or advice, just prayer. Please, please pray for him and our marriage. My brother in laws believe that he just needs time. But I'm so terrified that he won't come back. I feel like I don't care if I live or die at the moment. I’m completely broken. He has since said he loves me, cares for me, but isn't 'in love with me romantically'. He has also twice mentioned he's thought about what would happen if he met someone else. I mean - what???? He is adamant that no one else is involved. We have a 4 week trip to Australia at the end of March which was planned last year. We are still doing that, as his family think it is a good idea. It has bucket list things for both of us. I'm completely and utterly heartbroken. Please pray for our marriage and for my husband. Thank you so much.

[Articles]

We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up this precious marriage that has stood for 27 years—a covenant before God that was never meant to be broken. Father, we know You see the depth of this pain, the confusion, and the despair that has gripped this wife’s soul. We declare that You are the God who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (Psalm 147:3). Lord, we ask You to move mightily in this situation, for nothing is impossible with You (Luke 1:37).

We rebuke the spirit of confusion, stress, and emotional exhaustion that has taken hold of this husband. The enemy seeks to destroy what You have joined together (Matthew 19:6), but we stand in the authority of Jesus’ name and declare that this marriage is not over. We pray for a supernatural intervention—soften his heart, Lord, and remind him of the love, commitment, and vows he made before You. Let him remember the joy of their union, the years of shared life, and the family they have built together. We ask that You break the chains of stress and overwhelm that have clouded his mind and emotions. Restore to him the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).

We also lift up this wife, who is shattered and grieving. Lord, comfort her in her distress. Remind her that You are near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18) and that You collect every tear she sheds (Psalm 56:8). Strengthen her faith, Father, and help her to trust in Your timing and Your plan, even when it feels unbearable. Give her the courage to wait on You, knowing that You are working even when she cannot see it. We pray that she would find her hope and identity in You, not in her circumstances (Jeremiah 29:11).

We must address the mixed signals in this situation, as they are not aligned with Your Word. Intimacy outside of the full commitment of marriage—emotionally, spiritually, and physically—is not honoring to You. We pray that both husband and wife would seek clarity and purity in their interactions, aligning their actions with Your design for marriage. We rebuke any temptation toward emotional or physical unfaithfulness, whether in thought or deed, and ask that You guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).

Lord, we also ask that You protect this marriage from the enemy’s lies. The mention of "meeting someone else" is a dangerous and destructive thought, and we rebuke it in Jesus’ name. We declare that this husband’s heart belongs to his wife, as he vowed before You, and we pray that You would remove any temptation or distraction that seeks to pull him away from his covenant. Let him see the beauty and value of the wife You gave him, and let him fight for their marriage as You intended (Proverbs 18:22).

We pray for wisdom for this wife as she navigates this painful season. Help her to know when to speak and when to wait, when to reach out and when to give space. Let her actions and words be guided by Your Spirit, not by fear or desperation. We ask that You surround her with godly support—friends, family, and counselors who will encourage her, pray for her, and remind her of Your promises.

Father, we believe that You brought this couple together for a purpose, and we declare that their story is not finished. We ask that You use this trial to draw them closer to You and to each other. Let this trip to Australia be a time of healing, restoration, and renewed love. Let them encounter You in new ways and remember why they fell in love in the first place. We pray for breakthrough, Lord—let this husband’s heart be turned back to his wife, and let their marriage be a testimony of Your faithfulness and grace.

We also lift up their daughter, Lord. This situation has undoubtedly affected her deeply. Comfort her, Father, and let her see Your hand at work even in the midst of this pain. Give her peace and hope for her parents’ marriage.

Finally, we pray for this husband’s emotional and mental well-being. The stress and pressure he has been under are not from You, and we ask that You release him from this burden. Let him find rest in You (Matthew 11:28) and rediscover his identity in Christ, not in his work or the expectations of others. Heal his mind, Lord, and restore to him the joy of his salvation (Psalm 51:12).

We trust You, Lord, to work all things together for good for those who love You (Romans 8:28). We believe that You can redeem this situation and bring beauty from ashes. Strengthen this wife’s faith, and let her hold fast to Your promises. We declare that this marriage is not over, and we stand in agreement with Your Word, which says that what You have joined together, let no man separate (Mark 10:9).

In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

Praying for you and your family. Unfortunately, ### may be dropping hints about seeing someone else, and this could also explain why ### is supposedly working 24/7 for the last year.
