We hear the deep urgency and passion in your cry for your husband’s soul, and we join you in lifting him before the Lord with fervent prayer and biblical truth. Your heart’s desire for his salvation and sanctification aligns with God’s will, for He longs for all to come to repentance and be transformed by His grace (2 Peter 3:9, Romans 12:2). However, we must first address a critical matter: you have not invoked the name of Jesus Christ in your request, though you mention it later. There is no power, no access to the Father, and no salvation apart from the name of Jesus. As Scripture 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!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is only through faith in Jesus Christ—His death, burial, and resurrection—that we are reconciled to God (Romans 10:9-10). If your husband is to be saved, it must be by his own sincere confession and belief in Jesus as Lord, not through your decrees or declarations on his behalf. You cannot repent or believe for him; this is a work the Holy Spirit must do in his heart (John 16:8-11).
We also notice the intensity of your words, which reflect a heart burdened by the spiritual state of your marriage. While your zeal is commendable, we must remind you that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces (Ephesians 6:12). Your husband’s transformation cannot be forced by repeated pleas or demands, no matter how earnest. Instead, we are called to pray with faith, surrendering the outcome to God’s sovereign will (1 John 5:14-15). Let us also encourage you to examine your own heart, for bitterness, frustration, or desperation can take root if we fixate on changing another person rather than trusting God’s timing and methods. *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight"* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB).
Now, let us address the specific sins you’ve mentioned—lust, sexual immorality, pornography, idolatry, and unfaithfulness. These are grave offenses against God and destructive to marriage, which is meant to reflect Christ’s love for His Church (Ephesians 5:25-33). Scripture is clear: *"Flee sexual immorality! Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s"* (1 Corinthians 6:18-20, WEB). If your husband is engaged in these sins, he is not only harming himself and your marriage but grieving the Holy Spirit. Repentance is the only path to freedom, and it begins with brokenness before God (Psalm 51:17).
Regarding your desire for your husband to have "eyes only for you," we affirm that marital fidelity is God’s design. However, we must caution against idolatry in marriage—placing your husband’s affection or attention above your devotion to Christ. Your ultimate fulfillment must come from Jesus alone, not from your husband’s behavior or affections. *"Whom have I in heaven but you? There is no one on earth whom I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever"* (Psalm 73:25-26, WEB). Pray that both of you would love Christ first and foremost, for only then can you love each other as God intends.
As for the "soul ties" you mentioned with his ex-wife or other women, we understand your concern. Unhealthy emotional or spiritual bonds from past relationships can indeed hinder a marriage. However, the solution is not merely to "sever" these ties through prayer but to seek God’s healing and redemption. If your husband has unrepented sin in this area, he must confess it to God and, if necessary, seek counsel from a pastor or biblical counselor. *"Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective"* (James 5:16, WEB).
Finally, we must address the repetitive and almost incantatory nature of your prayer. While persistence in prayer is biblical (Luke 18:1-8), we are not to treat prayer as a magical formula or a means to manipulate God. Our prayers should be heartfelt, submitted to His will, and rooted in faith—not in the repetition of words (Matthew 6:7-8). Let us instead pray with humility, trusting that God hears us the first time and will act according to His perfect wisdom and timing.

**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this sister and her husband to You, acknowledging that You alone are the God who saves, heals, and transforms. Lord, we ask that You would open the eyes of this husband’s heart to see his need for Jesus. Convict him by Your Holy Spirit of every sin—lust, sexual immorality, idolatry, hardness of heart, and any unfaithfulness. Break the chains of bondage that hold him, and draw him to Yourself in genuine repentance and faith. Let him encounter You in a real and undeniable way, Lord, so that he may turn from his sins and surrender his life to Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.
Father, we also pray for this wife. Comfort her heart and guard her mind in Christ Jesus. Help her to release her husband into Your hands, trusting that You are working even when she cannot see it. Fill her with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and remind her that her worth and fulfillment are found in You alone. Strengthen her to love her husband with a love that reflects Your patience, kindness, and grace—even as she stands firm against sin.
Lord, we rebuke every scheme of the enemy in this marriage. Break every ungodly soul tie and stronghold that exalts itself against the knowledge of Christ. Let Your truth prevail, and let Your will be done in their lives. Restore what has been broken, heal what has been wounded, and redeem what has been lost. Make their marriage a testament to Your faithfulness and grace.
We ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

**Encouragement and Exhortation:**
Sister, we urge you to continue praying for your husband, but also to seek God’s face for yourself. Spend time in His Word, allowing it to renew your mind and strengthen your faith (Romans 12:2). If your husband is unwilling to repent, remember that you are not responsible for his choices, but you *are* responsible for your own obedience to Christ. *"Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body. But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for it"* (Ephesians 5:22-25, WEB). Submission does not mean tolerating sin, but it does mean trusting God to work in your husband’s heart while you walk in obedience and love.
If your husband is engaged in sexual sin, we strongly encourage you to seek biblical counsel—either from a pastor or a trusted, mature believer who can walk alongside you in wisdom and prayer. You do not have to carry this burden alone. Additionally, if there is unrepentant adultery or abuse, Scripture provides guidance for how to handle such situations with both grace and firmness (Matthew 18:15-17, 1 Corinthians 7:10-16).
Lastly, we exhort you to examine your own heart for any bitterness, resentment, or idolatry. It is easy to focus on another’s sins while overlooking our own need for repentance. *"Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way"* (Psalm 139:23-24, WEB). Let this season draw you closer to Jesus, for He is the only One who can satisfy the deepest longings of your soul.
Stand firm in faith, sister. God is able to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). Trust Him, even in the waiting.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
