We come before the throne of grace with hearts burdened yet hopeful, lifting this urgent cry for your marriage, knowing that our God is a God of restoration, covenant, and divine order. The passion in your plea reveals both deep pain and a fierce desire for what God has ordained—*a marriage that reflects Christ’s love for His Church*. We stand with you in this, declaring that *no weapon formed against your union shall prosper* (Isaiah 54:17), and we rebuke every ungodly soul tie, every lingering emotional or spiritual bond that seeks to defile what God has joined together.
First, we must address the foundation of all prayer: *the name of Jesus Christ*. You’ve invoked His name, and this is right, for Scripture declares, *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is *only* through Jesus that we have access to the Father (John 14:6), and it is in His authority that we bind and loose, decree and declare. We praise God that you’ve anchored this plea in the name above all names—*Jesus Christ*—for without Him, our words are empty. If your husband does not yet know the Lord personally, we pray fervently that the Holy Spirit would *convict his heart* (John 16:8), drawing him into a saving relationship with Christ. True transformation—of his affections, his loyalty, his very soul—begins with surrender to Jesus. We decree that *today* is the day of salvation for him (2 Corinthians 6:2), that scales fall from his eyes (Acts 9:18), and that he encounters the living God in dreams, visions, and undeniable ways, just as you’ve prayed.
Now, to the matter of soul ties: Scripture warns us that *"the two will become one flesh"* (Genesis 2:24, WEB), and this union is sacred before God. But when past relationships—especially marital ones—are not fully severed in the spiritual realm, they can leave open doors for the enemy to sow discord, distraction, or division. We *command*, in the name of Jesus, that every ungodly soul tie between your husband and his ex-wife—or any other woman—be *broken, severed, and burned by the fire of the Holy Spirit*. Let the blood of Jesus *cleanse every memory, every emotion, every lingering attachment* that does not belong to your covenant marriage. As it is written: *"If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new"* (2 Corinthians 5:17, WEB). We declare that your husband is *new* in his devotion to you, that his heart is *washed clean* of the past, and that his eyes are *fixed solely on you*, his wife, as God intended.
Yet we must also speak truth in love: *Marriage is a covenant, not merely a contract*—and covenants require *both parties* to walk in obedience, repentance, and love. While we pray for your husband’s heart to turn fully to you, we also encourage you to examine your own heart before the Lord. Have you forgiven *completely*? Are there areas where bitterness, fear, or control have taken root? Scripture commands: *"Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord... and let the wife see that she respects her husband"* (Ephesians 5:22, 33, WEB). This is not a call to passivity, but to *trust God’s design*—that as you honor your husband *in the Lord*, you create an atmosphere where the Holy Spirit can move. Similarly, husbands are called to *"love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it"* (Ephesians 5:25, WEB). If your husband is falling short, we pray that the Lord *convicts him deeply* of his role—and that you, too, are empowered to walk in godly wisdom, setting boundaries where necessary while still extending grace.
We also sense a plea for *emotional and physical intimacy*—a longing for your husband to desire you *wholly*. This is good and right within marriage, for Song of Solomon celebrates the passion between a husband and wife (Song of Solomon 7:10, WEB). But let us remind you: *true intimacy begins in the spirit*. Before there is physical closeness, there must be *spiritual oneness*—praying together, serving together, and seeking God’s will as one. We pray that the Lord *ignites* a holy passion between you both, but we also caution against idolatry—placing the desire for your husband’s affection *above* your desire for Christ. Your ultimate fulfillment comes from *Him alone* (Psalm 73:26, WEB). As you seek first His kingdom, *"all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33, WEB).
Now, let us pray together:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for the covenant of marriage, which You designed to reflect Your faithful love for Your people. Lord, we lift this sister and her husband to You, asking for a *supernatural intervention* in their union.
First, we pray for salvation—*if this man does not know You, Lord, break through the darkness!* Let him encounter Jesus in dreams, in visions, in undeniable ways. Softening his heart, Lord, that he may *repent, believe, and surrender* to Christ. Let him be *born again*, that his affections may be made new.
We *break, in Jesus’ name, every ungodly soul tie* between this husband and his ex-wife—or any other woman. By the blood of Jesus, we *sever* every emotional, spiritual, and physical bond that does not belong to his marriage covenant. We command every demonic assignment against this union to be *exposed, bound, and cast into the abyss*. Let no weapon formed against this marriage prosper.
Lord, we ask that You *restore what the locusts have eaten* (Joel 2:25). Renew their love, their trust, their passion. Let this husband *see his wife* as You see her—*precious, valuable, and worthy of his full devotion*. Remove every distraction, every comparison, every lingering thought of the past. Let his eyes be *only for her*, his heart *only for her*, his body *only for her*, as Your Word commands.
We pray for *divine connection*—that they would communicate with grace, understand each other deeply, and walk in *true companionship*. Make them *best friends*, soul mates in the truest sense, united in purpose and faith. Let their marriage be a *testimony* of Your redeeming power.
Father, we also ask for *healing* where there has been hurt. If there has been infidelity, deception, or broken trust, we pray for *restoration through repentance and forgiveness*. Let this wife *release any bitterness*, and let this husband *take responsibility* for his actions, turning fully to You and to her.
Finally, Lord, we *decree and declare* that this marriage is *covered by Your blood*, protected by Your angels, and *sealed for Your glory*. Let their love grow *deeper, stronger, and more passionate* each day. Let their home be a place of peace, joy, and holy fire.
We ask all this in the *powerful, matchless name of Jesus Christ*—the name above every name, the One who holds all authority in heaven and on earth. *Amen and amen."*
Sister, we urge you to *stand firm in faith*, knowing that *"the effective, earnest prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective"* (James 5:16, WEB). Keep praying, keep believing, and keep walking in obedience to God’s Word. If your husband is resistant, *love him through action* (1 Peter 3:1-2), but also *set godly boundaries* where necessary. Trust that the Lord is working, even when you cannot see it.
We will continue to lift you both in prayer. May the Lord *strengthen you, guide you, and bring full restoration* to your marriage—for His glory alone. *"Now to him who is able to do *far more abundantly* beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen"* (Ephesians 3:20-21, WEB).
