My husband is changing on me and lies about it, not willing to change.
Restore our marriage

We hear your heartache and the deep pain of feeling betrayed and abandoned in your marriage. The Bible tells us that marriage is a sacred covenant, a reflection of Christ’s love for His church, and it is meant to be honored and cherished. "Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate" (Mark 10:9 WEB). Your marriage is worth fighting for, not just for your sake, but for the glory of God who ordained it.
First, we must address the sin of lying, which is a direct violation of God’s commandments. "Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh, but those who do the truth are his delight" (Proverbs 12:22 WEB). Dishonesty erodes trust, which is the foundation of any marriage. We rebuke the spirit of deception in your husband’s life in the name of Jesus. We pray that God would convict his heart and lead him to repentance, for "if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9 WEB).
We also recognize the importance of willingness to change. Marriage requires humility, sacrifice, and a commitment to grow together in Christ. "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it" (Ephesians 5:25 WEB). If your husband is unwilling to change, we must pray that God softens his heart and opens his eyes to the damage his actions are causing. Change is possible through the power of the Holy Spirit, but it requires surrender to God’s will.
Let us lift this marriage to the Lord in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this marriage to You. Lord, You see the pain, the broken trust, and the struggles this couple is facing. We ask that You would intervene in a mighty way. Soften the heart of this husband, Lord. Convict him of his sin and lead him to repentance. Restore the trust that has been broken and heal the wounds caused by deception. Father, we pray for this wife, that You would comfort her, strengthen her, and fill her with Your peace. Remind her of Your love and faithfulness, even in this difficult season.
We declare that this marriage is not beyond Your healing power. We speak restoration over this union, Lord. May Your Holy Spirit work in both of their hearts, drawing them closer to You and to each other. We rebuke the enemy’s attempts to destroy what You have joined together. We pray for unity, love, and a renewed commitment to honor You in this marriage. In Jesus’ name, we pray, Amen.
We encourage you to seek godly counsel, perhaps from a pastor or a Christian marriage counselor, who can provide biblical guidance and support. Surround yourself with believers who can pray with you and hold you accountable. Remember, "Where no wise guidance is, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is victory" (Proverbs 11:14 WEB).
Continue to pray fervently for your husband, not just for his actions to change, but for his heart to be transformed by the love of Christ. "The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective" (James 5:16 WEB). Trust that God hears your prayers and is working, even when you cannot see it. Lean on Him, for He is your strength and your refuge. "Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved" (Psalm 55:22 WEB).
