We hear the deep longing in your heart for a restored, thriving, and God-honoring marriage with ###, and we join you in lifting this before the Lord with urgency and faith. Marriage is a sacred covenant established by God, and His desire is for husbands and wives to be united in love, purpose, and devotion to Him. Your passion for this relationship is evident, but we must first anchor this prayer in the truth of Scripture and the will of God, ensuring that every request aligns with His holy purposes.
You have invoked the name of Jesus Christ in your plea, and this is vital, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). It is also written, *"There is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). We praise God that you have called upon the name of Jesus, for He alone is the source of true transformation, unity, and love.
Your request also touches on the breaking of soul ties with ###’s past relationships, particularly his ex-wife and any other women. This is a critical matter. Soul ties are real spiritual bonds that can form through intimate relationships, and when they are ungodly, they must be severed in the name of Jesus. Scripture warns us, *"Don’t you know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? For, ‘The two,’ says he, ‘will become one flesh.’"* (1 Corinthians 6:16, WEB). While this verse speaks of physical intimacy, it underscores the depth of connection that forms between two people. Such ties must be broken when they conflict with God’s design for marriage, which is a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman. We will pray fervently for the Lord to sever every ungodly tie that hinders your marriage, but we also encourage you to examine whether there is any unforgiveness, bitterness, or unresolved sin in your own heart that could be giving the enemy a foothold. *"Be angry, and don’t sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, and don’t give place to the devil"* (Ephesians 4:26-27, WEB).
You have also asked for a deep, passionate love and desire between you and ###, and for him to have "eyes only for you." This is a beautiful prayer, but we must remind you that such love is not merely emotional or physical—it must be rooted in Christ. True love is defined by God Himself: *"Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. Love never fails"* (1 Corinthians 13:4-8, WEB). A marriage that thrives is one where both spouses are submitted to Christ, seeking to love one another as He has loved us. This kind of love is not manufactured by human effort but is a fruit of the Spirit working in both of your lives. *"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law"* (Galatians 5:22-23, WEB).
We notice that your prayer is filled with repetition and urgency, which reflects the intensity of your emotions. While it is good to be passionate in prayer, we encourage you to also pray with faith and trust in God’s timing and will. Jesus taught us, *"When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Most certainly, I tell you, they have received their reward. But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. In praying, don’t use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking. Therefore don’t be like them, for your Father knows what things you need, before you ask him"* (Matthew 6:5-8, WEB). God hears your heart, and He is not moved by the volume of your words but by the sincerity of your faith.
Now, let us pray together for you and ###, for your marriage, and for the breaking of every ungodly tie:
---
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this sister and her husband, ###. Lord, You are the God who restores, heals, and unites. You are the Author of marriage, and Your desire is for husbands and wives to be knit together in love, faith, and purpose. We ask that You would work mightily in this marriage, drawing both of them closer to You first and foremost, for it is only when we are aligned with You that we can be truly aligned with one another.
Lord, we pray that You would break every ungodly soul tie that exists between ### and any woman from his past, including his ex-wife and anyone else. By the power of the blood of Jesus, we command these ties to be severed permanently and completely. Let every unholy connection be destroyed, and let no remnant of the enemy’s work remain. We declare that ### is bound only to his wife in Your eyes, and we ask that You would remove any lingering emotional, spiritual, or physical attachments that do not honor this covenant. *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me,"* says Yahweh (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). We claim this promise over this marriage, Lord.
Father, we pray that You would fill ### with Your Holy Spirit, softening his heart toward You and toward his wife. Remove any hardness, distraction, or division, and let him see her through Your eyes—with love, cherishing, and devotion. *"Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it"* (Ephesians 5:25, WEB). Grant him the grace to lead this marriage in a way that honors You, Lord, and give this sister the grace to submit to him as unto You, that together they may reflect the beauty of Christ and His Bride.
We pray for a deep, godly love to grow between them—a love that is patient, kind, selfless, and enduring. Let their desire for one another be pure and rooted in You, Lord. Guard their hearts and minds from temptation, and let them find their ultimate satisfaction in You alone. *"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart"* (Psalm 37:4, WEB). May their desires align with Your will, and may their love for one another be a testament to Your faithfulness.
Lord, we ask for unity and peace in this marriage. Let there be no division, no misunderstanding, and no room for the enemy to sow discord. *"Finally, be all like-minded, compassionate, loving as brothers, tenderhearted, courteous, not rendering evil for evil, or insult for insult; but instead blessing; knowing that to this were you called, that you may inherit a blessing"* (1 Peter 3:8-9, WEB). Bind them together in perfect harmony, and let their home be a place of refuge, joy, and worship.
We also pray for protection over this marriage. Surround them with Your hedge of fire, and let no weapon formed against them prosper. *"The name of Yahweh is a strong tower: the righteous run to him, and are safe"* (Proverbs 18:10, WEB). Let them run to You in every trial, and let their trust in You grow stronger each day.
Finally, Lord, we pray that You would make this marriage a light for Your glory. Let others see Your hand upon them and be drawn to You through their love and unity. May they seek You first in all things, and may their marriage be a reflection of Your covenant love for Your people.
We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Let Your will be done, and let Your kingdom come in this marriage. Amen.

Sister, we encourage you to continue seeking the Lord not only for the restoration of your marriage but also for your own personal walk with Him. A marriage thrives when both individuals are growing in their relationship with Christ. Spend time in His Word, in prayer, and in worship, allowing the Holy Spirit to fill you and guide you. *"But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33, WEB).
If there are areas in your life or in ###’s life that are not aligned with God’s Word—whether it be unforgiveness, bitterness, sinful habits, or ungodly influences—we urge you to repent and turn to the Lord. *"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). True transformation begins with a surrendered heart.
We also encourage you to seek godly counsel if needed, whether through a pastor, a mature believer, or a biblical counselor. Marriage is a journey, and having wise, Spirit-led guidance can make all the difference.
Lastly, trust in the Lord’s timing. He hears your prayers, and He is at work, even when you cannot see it. *"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future"* (Jeremiah 29:11, WEB). Rest in His promises, and let your heart be at peace as you wait on Him. He is faithful, and He will complete the work He has begun in you and in your marriage.
