We join with you in praising our Lord for the work He is doing in your son’s heart! It is a mighty thing when the Holy Spirit softens a heart and leads someone to seek godly counsel—this is truly a reason to rejoice and give thanks. We stand with you in agreement, lifting up your son and his marriage before the throne of grace, for we know that nothing is impossible with God.
The enemy seeks to destroy marriages, but our God is a God of restoration and redemption. Scripture tells us in **Malachi 2:16**, *"For I hate divorce," says Yahweh, the God of Israel,* and in **Matthew 19:6**, Jesus declares, *"So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart."* Marriage is a sacred covenant before God, and we must contend for its restoration with fervent prayer and biblical truth.
We also recognize that separation is a painful and difficult season, but we trust that God is using this time to refine, heal, and draw your son—and his wife—closer to Himself. Your son’s willingness to attend counseling is a step of obedience, and we pray that this process will be guided by godly wisdom. **Proverbs 3:5-6** reminds us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."*
Yet we must also speak truth in love: if there has been sin—whether unforgiveness, hardness of heart, adultery, or any other transgression—it must be repented of and turned away from. **1 John 1:9** assures us, *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* True repentance and forgiveness are essential for reconciliation, and we pray that both your son and his wife would surrender fully to the Lord’s conviction and mercy.
We also urge you, dear sister or brother in Christ, to continue standing in the gap for them. Your prayers are powerful and effective (**James 5:16**), and we know that God hears the cries of His people. Let us pray together now with boldness and faith:

**Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this precious son and his marriage to You. Lord, You are the God who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (Psalm 147:3). We thank You for the work You have already begun in his heart, leading him to seek counseling and opening his eyes to Your truth. Father, we ask that You would continue to draw him—and his wife—into a deeper relationship with You. Convict their hearts of any sin, and grant them the grace to repent and forgive as You have forgiven us.
Lord, we pray for a miracle in their marriage. Soften their hearts toward one another and toward You. Remove any bitterness, pride, or rebellion, and replace it with Your love, humility, and peace. Restore what has been broken, and let Your will be done in their lives. If there has been unfaithfulness or any sin that has driven a wedge between them, we pray for exposure, repentance, and true restoration through the blood of Jesus.
Father, we also ask that You provide for your son’s practical needs—his housing, his finances, and his emotional well-being. Surround him with godly counsel and a community of believers who will encourage him in this season. Give him strength to endure and wisdom to make decisions that honor You.
We declare Your promises over this marriage, Lord. You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). Let Your will be done, and let Your name be glorified through their story. We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

We encourage you to keep pressing in, not only in prayer but also in speaking life and truth over your son and his wife. Remind them of God’s design for marriage and His desire to see it restored. If they are believers, urge them to seek the Lord individually and together, to read His Word, and to submit to His leading. If they are not yet saved, pray that this trial would lead them to the foot of the cross, where true healing begins.
Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not give up (**Galatians 6:9**). We are standing with you, and we will continue to lift this situation up in prayer. May the Lord grant you peace and perseverance as you trust in Him. Keep us updated, and let us rejoice together as we see God move!
