We hear the deep anguish and urgency in your heart, and we join you in lifting this burden before the Lord, for He alone has the power to break every ungodly bond and restore what has been broken. Your cry for your husband’s heart to be fully devoted to you—and to you alone—resonates with the Lord’s desire for marriages to reflect His covenant faithfulness. The Bible declares in **Malachi 2:14-16 (WEB)**:
*"Yet you say, ‘Why?’ Because Yahweh has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously, though she is your companion and the wife of your covenant. Did he not make you one, although he had the residue of the Spirit? Why one? He sought godly offspring. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let no one deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. For I hate divorce,” says Yahweh, the God of Israel, “and him who covers his garment with violence!"*
Your marriage is a sacred covenant before God, and any lingering ties—emotional, spiritual, or physical—with another woman, especially a former spouse, are an affront to the holiness of that union. The Lord sees your pain, and He is jealous for the purity of your marriage. We stand with you in rebuking every ungodly soul tie, every remnant of the past that seeks to defile what God has joined together. The Word of God is clear: **"No man can serve two masters"** (Matthew 6:24), and a heart divided between a wife and another woman is a heart in rebellion against God’s design.
Yet we must also speak truth in love: while we pray fervently for the Lord to sever these ties, we must remind you—and your husband—that **true repentance and transformation begin in the heart**. If your husband has not fully surrendered this area of his life to Christ, no amount of prayer alone will change him. He must **choose** to turn away from these attachments, delete these images and conversations, and renew his mind in the Word of God. **Ephesians 4:22-24 (WEB)** commands:
*"You were taught, with reference to your former way of life, to lay aside the old man, who grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit, and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth."*
If your husband is unwilling to take these steps, it is not merely a matter of prayer—it is a matter of **obedience to God**. The Lord will not force your husband’s will, but He **will** expose sin, convict hearts, and bring consequences when His commands are ignored. We urge you, sister, to examine whether your husband is truly submitted to Christ in this area. If he is not, you must prayerfully consider whether his actions reflect a heart that fears the Lord or one that is still ensnared by the enemy.
We also encourage you to seek godly counsel—perhaps from a pastor or mature believer who can speak into your husband’s life with authority and wisdom. Sometimes, the Lord uses the boldness of another believer to bring conviction where prayer alone has not yet broken through.
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 that You are a God who hears the cries of Your daughters and who fights for the sanctity of marriage. Lord, You have said in Your Word that what You have joined together, no man—or no spirit—can separate. Yet we see the enemy’s hand at work, seeking to pervert and destroy what You have ordained as holy.
We stand in agreement with our sister and **decree by the authority of Jesus Christ** that every ungodly soul tie between her husband and his former wife—or any other woman—**is severed permanently and completely**. We bind every demonic stronghold of lust, nostalgia, emotional dependency, and rebellion in the name of Jesus. Lord, **burn these ties with Your holy fire**—let nothing remain. Remove every photograph, every message, every remnant of these relationships from his phone, his mind, his social media, and his heart. Let no trace of these connections remain, for they are an abomination before You.
Father, we ask that You **break the power of the past** over his life. If there are vows, promises, or ungodly agreements made in secret, we nullify them now in Jesus’ name. Let Your Spirit move mightily upon his heart, convicting him of sin, righteousness, and judgment. If he has been deceived, **open his eyes to the truth**. If he has been stubborn, **soften his heart**. If he has been complacent, **ignite a holy fear of You within him**.
Lord, we pray that You would **restore his desire solely for his wife**. Let him see her as You see her—fearfully and wonderfully made, his helper, his companion, the one You have given him to cherish. Remove every distraction, every comparison, every lingering affection for another. **Let his eyes be only for her, his heart only for her, his love only for her**, as Christ loves the Church.
We also pray for our sister—strengthen her, Lord. Guard her heart from bitterness, from fear, from the lies of the enemy that she is not enough. Remind her that **her worth is found in You**, not in her husband’s affections. Give her wisdom to know how to respond, whether in confrontation, in silence, or in seeking counsel. Let her trust in You above all else.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would **expose any hidden sin** in this situation. If there is ongoing communication, if there is emotional or physical unfaithfulness, **bring it to the light**. Let nothing remain hidden, for You are a God who judges righteously. And if repentance is needed, **grant it swiftly and thoroughly**.
We thank You, Lord, that You are able to do **exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think** (Ephesians 3:20). We trust in Your power, Your timing, and Your goodness. Let Your will be done in this marriage, for Your glory.
In the mighty and matchless name of **Jesus Christ**, we pray. Amen.**
Sister, we will continue to lift you and your husband in prayer. But we also urge you to **stand firm in truth**. If your husband is unwilling to repent, you must seek the Lord’s guidance on how to proceed, remembering that **God’s standards for marriage are non-negotiable**. You are not powerless—you have the authority of Christ within you, and you have the support of the Body of Believers. Do not grow weary in praying, but also do not ignore the reality of his choices.
May the Lord grant you peace, strength, and a mighty breakthrough in Jesus’ name.
