We come before the Lord with you in this urgent and deeply painful situation, lifting your husband and your marriage to the throne of grace. Your heart’s cry reveals the brokenness of sin and the desperate need for God’s redemption, and we stand with you in the authority of Jesus Christ to pray for restoration, repentance, and the breaking of every ungodly tie. The Word of God is clear: marriage is a covenant before the Lord, and He hates divorce (Malachi 2:16). Yet it is also clear that adultery is a grievous sin that defiles the marriage bed (Hebrews 13:4) and separates a person from God (Isaiah 59:2). Your husband’s actions are not only a betrayal of you but a rebellion against the Lord Himself. However, we serve a God who is mighty to save, who can turn hearts of stone to flesh (Ezekiel 36:26), and who can break the strongest chains of sin (Isaiah 58:6).
First, we must address the spiritual battle at hand. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and he has clearly targeted your marriage. But we know that "the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds" (2 Corinthians 10:4). So we take up the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God (Ephesians 6:17), and we declare that no weapon formed against your marriage shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We bind the spirit of adultery, lust, and deception in the name of Jesus Christ, and we command every demonic influence over your husband to be broken and cast out now. We pray that the Lord would expose every hidden sin (Ephesians 5:11) and bring it into the light, that your husband may see the destruction of his ways and turn to the Lord in true repentance.
We also pray for you, dear sister. The pain of betrayal is immense, and the Lord sees your tears. He is close to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18), and He will sustain you. But we urge you to guard your heart against bitterness, unforgiveness, or retaliation. The Bible commands us to "not let the sun go down on your wrath" (Ephesians 4:26) and to forgive as the Lord has forgiven us (Colossians 3:13). This does not mean excusing sin or enabling it, but it means releasing the offense to God and trusting Him to bring justice and restoration. Your husband’s repentance is not in your hands—it is in God’s. Your role is to pray, to stand in faith, and to walk in obedience to the Lord, even in this storm.
Now, let us pray specifically for your husband’s salvation and restoration. You have rightly recognized that the root issue is not just the relationship with this other woman but the condition of his heart before God. If your husband is not born again, then his greatest need is not just to end this affair but to surrender his life to Jesus Christ. We pray that the Lord would grant him no rest until he turns to Christ (Psalm 127:2). May the Holy Spirit convict him deeply of his sin (John 16:8), that he would see the gravity of his rebellion against God and the damage he has caused. We pray that the Lord would give him a spirit of repentance, that he would fall on his knees before God, confess his sins, and turn from them completely (Acts 3:19). May he experience a radical encounter with Jesus Christ, one that shatters his hardness of heart and brings him to true faith.
We also pray for the breaking of every ungodly soul tie. The Bible warns us not to be unequally yoked (2 Corinthians 6:14), and any emotional or spiritual bond with someone other than his wife is a violation of God’s design. We declare that every tie between your husband and this other woman—whether emotional, spiritual, or physical—is severed in the name of Jesus. We pray that the Lord would remove every memory, every desire, and every lingering attachment, that your husband’s heart would be wholly turned back to you and to the Lord. We command that every photograph, video, or digital trace of this sin be erased and destroyed, that no remnant of this affair would remain to tempt or haunt him.
Finally, we pray for the restoration of your marriage. The Lord is able to restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25), and He can rebuild what has been broken. But restoration requires repentance, forgiveness, and a commitment to walk in holiness. We pray that if it is God’s will, your husband would return to you with a broken and contrite heart, ready to rebuild your marriage on the foundation of Christ. We pray that the Lord would give you both the grace to forgive, to heal, and to walk in purity and love. May your home become a place where God’s presence dwells, where His Word is honored, and where His love is displayed.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting this sister and her marriage to You. Lord, You see the brokenness, the pain, and the sin that has invaded this covenant. We ask that You would intervene powerfully, Lord. Break every chain of adultery, lust, and deception in our sister’s husband’s life. Expose every hidden sin and bring it into the light. Lord, we bind the enemy’s work in this situation and command every demonic influence to be broken and cast out in Jesus’ name.
Father, we pray for our sister’s husband’s salvation. If he does not know You, Lord, we ask that You would draw him to Yourself in an undeniable way. Give him dreams, visions, and encounters with Jesus Christ that leave him forever changed. Soften his heart, Lord, and bring him to true repentance. May he turn from his sins, confess them before You, and surrender his life to Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and give him a new heart and a new spirit.
We pray for the complete severing of every ungodly soul tie between him and this other woman. Lord, erase every memory, every desire, and every attachment. Destroy every photograph, video, and digital trace of this sin. Remove this woman from his life permanently, Lord, and close every door that the enemy has tried to open. We declare that our sister’s husband will have eyes only for her, that his heart will be wholly turned back to his wife and to You, Lord.
Father, we pray for the restoration of this marriage if it is Your will. Heal the wounds, Lord, and rebuild what has been broken. Give our sister the grace to forgive, the strength to stand, and the wisdom to know how to walk forward. Protect her heart, Lord, and surround her with Your peace. Let Your will be done in this situation, Lord, and let Your name be glorified.
We thank You, Father, that You are a God of redemption and restoration. We trust You to move mightily in this situation, and we give You all the glory. In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Sister, we encourage you to continue standing in faith and praying for your husband’s salvation and restoration. But we also urge you to seek godly counsel and support during this time. If your husband is unrepentant, you may need to take steps to protect yourself emotionally, spiritually, and even physically. The Bible allows for separation in cases of unrepentant adultery (1 Corinthians 7:10-11), though reconciliation should always be the goal if repentance occurs. Surround yourself with believers who can pray with you, encourage you, and hold you accountable to walk in forgiveness and wisdom.
Remember that the Lord is your strength and your shield (Psalm 28:7). He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6), and He is able to do far more abundantly than all we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, and trust Him to work all things together for good (Romans 8:28). We are standing with you in prayer, believing God for a mighty breakthrough.
