Prayer for peace in my life

Faithful Servant
My wife keeps trying to be head of the household. She follows me around interrogating me and cursing at me, and when I put my trust in the Lord she becomes more distrusting toward me. When I am not obeying her every word she becomes paranoid. I really believe she isn’t ready, spiritually, to allow her husband to be the leader in her household. She has an “OCD” problem, and she refuses to get help for it. I personally believe she doesn’t want help because she doesn’t want to lose whatever control she thinks she has in her life. She wakes me up with yelling at me, and doesn’t let me rest when I need to rest after work. When I am home I’m doing most of the cleaning. The more she disrespects me the more she believes I am being unfaithful to her. It makes no sense. I am tired of this.. and the neighbors have to hear it every single day. She also keeps reaching out to another man from a past relationship. I told her if she’s going to leave then leave, but instead she somehow believes she’s using her past relationship as a weapon against me. I told her everything she does is between her and the Lord and she’s going to have to deal with whatever consequences come from it. She keeps telling me her ex is better than me I say well don’t be with me, then. I think I am being fair, considering I did all her paperwork to bring her into this country. I have been patient through her problems but I have not had one peaceful day since I brought her here.

We grieve with you over the heavy burden you are carrying in your marriage, and we lift you up before the Lord, knowing that He sees your suffering and hears your cry. The chaos and disrespect in your home are not of God, and we must first address the spiritual rebellion at the root of this situation. Scripture is clear that a wife is to submit to her husband as to the Lord, just as the church submits to Christ (Ephesians 5:22-24). Likewise, a husband is called to love his wife as Christ loved the church—sacrificially, patiently, and with leadership that reflects godly authority (Ephesians 5:25-33). But when a wife rejects her husband’s leadership and instead seeks to dominate, it creates disorder that grieves the Holy Spirit. Your wife’s behavior—her interrogation, cursing, paranoia, and emotional manipulation—is not only harmful to you but is in direct defiance of God’s design for marriage.

Her refusal to seek help for her struggles, her reach toward another man, and her comparison of you to her past relationship are signs of a heart that is not surrendered to Christ. This is not merely a marital issue; it is a spiritual one. The Lord warns us that "a house divided against itself cannot stand" (Mark 3:25), and we see that division playing out in your home. Her actions are not just against you but against God Himself, for He is the one who instituted marriage and commanded, *"Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord"* (Ephesians 5:22). Her resistance to your leadership is ultimately resistance to God’s order, and that is a dangerous place to be.

We also recognize the weariness in your heart. You have shown patience and long-suffering, even in the face of her disrespect and accusations. But we must ask: Have you loved her as Christ loves the church? Not in enabling her sin, but in speaking truth with love, in setting boundaries that honor God, and in praying fervently for her soul? Sometimes, the most loving thing we can do is to confront sin with truth, even when it is painful. Jesus said, *"If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone"* (Matthew 18:15). Have you sat down with her in a calm moment, not in anger, and lovingly but firmly addressed the sin in her heart? Have you prayed *with* her, not just for her, and called her to repentance?

Her communication with another man is particularly alarming. Scripture warns, *"Can a man take fire to his chest and his clothes not be burned? Or can one walk on hot coals and his feet not be scorched?"* (Proverbs 6:27-28). This is adultery of the heart, and it is a slippery slope that leads to destruction. You were right to tell her that her actions are between her and the Lord, for *"God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous"* (Hebrews 13:4). But we must also urge you: Do not grow complacent in this. If she continues to entertain this sin, you may need to take further biblical steps to protect your marriage and your heart. Jesus Himself said that divorce is permitted in cases of sexual immorality (Matthew 19:9), though reconciliation should always be the first pursuit.

As for her OCD and her refusal to seek help, we understand that mental struggles are real, but they do not excuse sin. If she is using her condition as a means to control or manipulate, that is not of God. *"For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7). Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), and if she is not walking in the Spirit, she will continue to be enslaved to her flesh. You cannot force her to get help, but you can pray that the Lord would break her heart of stone and give her a heart of flesh (Ezekiel 36:26).

Now, let us pray for you, brother:

Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our brother, who is weary and burdened by the chaos in his home. Lord, You see the disrespect, the manipulation, and the rebellion in his wife’s heart. You know the toll this is taking on him—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We ask that You would intervene mightily in this situation. Softens her heart, Lord. Convict her of her sin and bring her to repentance. Let her see the destruction her words and actions are causing, not just to her marriage but to her own soul.

Give our brother wisdom, Lord. Show him how to lead with love and firmness, how to set godly boundaries, and how to speak truth without compromising Your Word. Protect his heart from bitterness and his mind from despair. Remind him that You are his refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). When he is exhausted, be his rest. When he is accused, be his vindication. When he is disrespected, be his honor.

Father, we rebuke the spirit of confusion and division in this home. We bind the enemy’s influence over this marriage and declare that no weapon formed against it shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). If there is any stronghold of pride, control, or unbelief in her heart, Lord, tear it down. If there is any sin in his heart—resentment, unforgiveness, or passivity—reveal it and cleanse it by Your blood.

Lord, we ask for peace in this home, but not peace at the expense of righteousness. Let Your will be done, even if it is painful. If this marriage can be restored, restore it, Lord. If hearts can be changed, change them. But if she continues in rebellion, give him the strength to do what is right in Your eyes, even if it means hard decisions. Remind him that You are sovereign, and nothing is too difficult for You (Jeremiah 32:27).

We pray all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone can heal and restore. Amen.

Brother, we urge you to continue standing firm in the Lord. Do not retaliate with anger, but do not shrink back from speaking truth. Fast and pray for your wife’s salvation and repentance. Seek counsel from your pastor or a godly mentor who can walk with you through this. And remember: *"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). He has not abandoned you. Cling to Him, and trust that He will lead you through this storm.

If she continues to reach out to another man, you must address this as a serious breach of your marriage covenant. Seek biblical counsel on how to proceed, whether through church discipline, separation, or other measures. But do not ignore it. *"Do not be deceived: 'Bad company ruins good morals'"* (1 Corinthians 15:33). Protect your heart and your home.

Lastly, we encourage you to examine your own heart before the Lord. Have you loved her as Christ loves the church? Have you prayed for her as you ought? Have you sought the Lord’s wisdom in how to lead her? Sometimes, our own sin can contribute to the chaos in our homes. Not that her behavior is justified, but we must always check our own hearts first (Matthew 7:3-5).

Stay steadfast, brother. The Lord is with you.
