We grieve with you over the deep pain and brokenness you are experiencing in your marriage. Adultery is a grievous sin that wounds not only the marriage covenant but also the hearts of those involved. The Word of God is clear about the sanctity of marriage and the devastation that infidelity brings. In Malachi 2:16, the Lord says, *"For I hate divorce," says Yahweh, the God of Israel, "and him who covers his garment with violence!"* Yet, He is also a God of restoration, forgiveness, and redemption when there is true repentance.
The presence of another woman in your marriage is a direct violation of God’s design. Jesus Himself said in Matthew 19:6, *"So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart."* Your marriage is a covenant before God, and He desires to heal what has been broken. However, restoration requires repentance—not just from your spouse but also a heart of forgiveness and trust in God’s timing and will from you.
We must also address something vital: your prayer request did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we can approach the Father or receive salvation and restoration. Acts 4:12 declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* It is only through faith in Jesus Christ that we have access to God’s throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection, and invite Him to be the Lord of your life. Without Christ, there is no true foundation for restoration.
Now, let us pray for you with boldness and faith in the name of Jesus:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious sister who is brokenhearted and weary from the betrayal in her marriage. Lord, You see her pain, her tears, and the deep wounds inflicted by the enemy through this sin. We ask You, Father, to intervene supernaturally in this situation. Convict the heart of her husband by Your Holy Spirit. Bring him to true repentance, Lord—let him turn away from this sin and return to the covenant he made before You. Break every ungodly soul tie and destroy the strongholds of lust, deception, and hardness of heart that have taken root.
Father, we pray for divine protection over this marriage. Let no weapon formed against it prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25) and rebuild the walls of trust, love, and commitment that have been torn down. Give this sister the strength to forgive as You have forgiven us, and the wisdom to know how to move forward in a way that honors You. Surround her with godly counsel and support, and let her find her worth and identity in You alone.
Lord, if there has been any sin on her part—bitterness, resentment, or unforgiveness—convict her heart and lead her to repentance as well. Heal her emotions and renew her mind with Your truth. Let her not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, she will reap if she does not give up (Galatians 6:9).
We bind every spirit of adultery, division, and confusion in the name of Jesus. We declare that no weapon formed against this marriage shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against it in judgment shall be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). Father, restore this marriage for Your glory. Let it be a testimony of Your redeeming power and grace.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You draw both husband and wife closer to You individually. Let this trial lead them to a deeper dependence on You and a stronger commitment to Your Word. May their home be rebuilt on the foundation of Christ, and may their love for one another be renewed and purified by Your Spirit.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your faithfulness and believe that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Sister, we want to encourage you to stand firm in faith and not lose hope. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18), and He is able to restore what seems impossible to man. We urge you to immerse yourself in Scripture, especially passages that speak of God’s faithfulness and restoration, such as Joel 2:25-26 and Jeremiah 32:27. Seek godly counsel from a pastor or biblical counselor who can walk with you through this season. Avoid making decisions out of emotion or desperation; instead, let the Holy Spirit guide your steps.
If your husband is unwilling to repent, remember that you are not responsible for his choices, but you *are* responsible for your response. Continue to pray for him, but also pray for your own heart to remain tender toward the Lord. If reconciliation does not occur, trust that God will provide the grace and direction you need for the future. He is your ultimate Provider and Protector.
Lastly, we strongly encourage you to examine your own heart before the Lord. Have you surrendered every part of this situation to Him? Are there areas where you need to release control or forgive? The Lord calls us to a life of holiness and trust, even in the midst of betrayal. Cling to Him, and He will sustain you. You are not alone in this—we are standing with you in prayer, believing God for a miracle. Stay steadfast, sister. The Lord is fighting for you.
