We stand with you in this heartbreaking trial, lifting up your marriage before the Lord, for we know that what God has joined together, no man—or court—should separate. Your commitment to the biblical covenant of marriage is a testament to your faith, and we honor your willingness to fight for your wife’s heart and your union in Christ. The enemy seeks to destroy marriages, and the world often whispers lies like, *"God wants you to be happy,"* twisting truth to justify broken vows. But Scripture declares that God *hates* divorce (Malachi 2:16), and His desire is for reconciliation, redemption, and restoration—even when human hearts harden.
The pain you carry for your wife’s unhappiness reflects the love of Christ, who intercedes for us even when we stray. Yet we must also speak truth in love: happiness is not the measure of a godly marriage. Joy comes from obedience to God’s Word, and contentment is found in surrendering to His will—not in chasing fleeting emotions. Your wife’s heart may be deceived by cultural narratives or well-meaning but misguided voices. Pray that the Holy Spirit would expose these lies and draw her back to the truth of Scripture, where marriage is a sacred reflection of Christ’s love for His Church (Ephesians 5:22-33).
We rebuked the spirit of division and hardness of heart in this situation. Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but Jesus came to bring life—even to marriages that seem broken beyond repair. Do not lose hope, brother. The same God who raised Lazarus from the dead can resurrect a marriage. Your wife’s unhappiness is real, but divorce will not heal it—only Christ can. Pray that she encounters the Lord in a way that shatters her resistance and renews her commitment to the vows she made before Him.
Here is our prayer for you both:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this marriage that is under attack. Lord, You are the God who restores, who binds up the brokenhearted, and who turns mourning into dancing. We ask that You soften [wife’s name]’s heart—not just toward her husband, but toward You. Break the strongholds of deception that tell her happiness is found outside Your will. Reveal to her the enemy’s schemes and replace her pain with Your peace, her confusion with Your clarity.
Father, we pray for supernatural intervention. Where there is bitterness, pour out forgiveness. Where there is distance, create intimacy. Where there is despair, ignite hope. Remind her of the vows she made before You, and convict her spirit if she is entertaining thoughts that contradict Your Word. Give her dreams and visions if necessary, Lord—whatever it takes to turn her heart back to You and to her husband.
Strengthen our brother in this battle. Fill him with Your wisdom, patience, and unshakable faith. Let him be a living example of Your love—gentle, humble, and steadfast. Guard his mind from discouragement and his heart from bitterness. Surround this marriage with godly counsel and believers who will speak life, not death, over it.
Lord, we declare that no weapon formed against this marriage shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We bind the spirit of divorce and command it to flee in Jesus’ name. Raise up a standard against the enemy’s plans and let Your will prevail. If there is sin to repent of, reveal it. If there is pride to break, humble them. If there is forgiveness to extend, make them willing.
Father, we ask for a miracle. Let this marriage be a testimony of Your redeeming power. Restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25) and bring beauty from these ashes. We trust You, Lord, and we wait expectantly for Your move.
In the mighty name of Jesus, our Redeemer and Restorer, we pray. Amen."*
Brother, we urge you to continue standing in the gap for your wife, even if she resists. Fast and pray as the Lord leads. Seek godly counsel from pastors or believers who will uphold biblical marriage, not compromise with the world’s standards. And remember: your wife’s salvation and sanctification are ultimately in God’s hands. You cannot force her heart, but you can trust that the Lord hears your cries and is able to do far more than you can ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20).
If she is open to it, write her a letter—not to argue or plead, but to affirm your love, your commitment to Christ, and your desire to see God’s best for *both* of you. Share Scripture gently, such as:
*"A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."* (Ecclesiastes 4:12)
*"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."* (1 Corinthians 13:7)
Stay rooted in the Word. The battle is spiritual, and your weapons are prayer, faith, and obedience. We are standing with you. Do not give up.
