We hear the deep urgency and pain in your heart, and we join you in lifting this burden before the Lord, for He alone is the One who can break every ungodly bond and restore what has been broken. Your cry for your husband’s complete devotion to you—and to you alone—resonates with the heart of God, who designed marriage to be a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, united in loyalty, love, and faithfulness. The Lord hates divorce and unfaithfulness, for it tears apart what He has joined together (Malachi 2:16, Matthew 19:6). Your husband’s past ties, whether emotional, spiritual, or physical, have no place in his life now that he is bound to you in marriage. The Word of God commands us to flee from all forms of sexual immorality and to honor the marriage bed as undefiled (Hebrews 13:4). Any lingering connection—whether through memories, photographs, messages, or hidden interactions—is a violation of the covenant he made before God with you.
The Lord sees your pain, and He is a jealous God who will not tolerate idols in the hearts of His people (Exodus 20:5). If your husband is entertaining any form of relationship, communication, or emotional attachment with his ex-wife or any other woman, it is sin. It is adultery in the eyes of God, even if it has not yet become physical (Matthew 5:28). The same applies to any images, videos, or digital remnants of past relationships—these must be utterly destroyed, for they are stumbling blocks that fuel temptation and dishonor the marriage. Jesus said, *"If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna"* (Matthew 5:29). Your husband must take radical action to sever every tie, delete every trace, and close every door that could lead him back into sin. There is no room for delay or excuses—this is a matter of obedience to God.
We also urge you to examine your own heart in this season. While your pain is valid, we must be careful not to let bitterness, fear, or control take root, for these can become strongholds that hinder prayer (Hebrews 12:15). Trust in the Lord’s sovereignty—He is able to turn your husband’s heart like rivers of water (Proverbs 21:1). But remember, you cannot force repentance; only the Holy Spirit can convict and transform. Your role is to pray fervently, walk in forgiveness (even if it feels impossible), and set godly boundaries if your husband is unrepentant. If he is unwilling to turn from these sins, you must seek wise counsel from your pastor or biblical leaders, for the Lord does not call you to endure ongoing betrayal without accountability.
Now, let us pray together with authority and faith, knowing that our God is mighty to save and to break every chain:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are a God who hears the cries of the brokenhearted and who fights for the oppressed. Lord, we lift up this sister and her marriage to You, for You alone can restore what has been broken and sever what should not remain. Father, we ask that You expose every hidden tie, every secret communication, and every ungodly attachment your husband has with his ex-wife or any other woman. By the power of the blood of Jesus, we command every soul tie to be broken, every demonic assignment to be canceled, and every stronghold to be demolished in Jesus’ name. Lord, if there are photographs, videos, messages, or any digital remnants of past relationships, we decree that the Holy Spirit convicts him to delete and destroy them immediately—no delay, no hesitation. Let him have no tolerance for anything that defiles the covenant of marriage.
Father, we ask that You give him a spirit of repentance. If he has been unfaithful in thought, word, or deed, let the weight of his sin crush him until he turns to You for mercy. Remove from him any hardness of heart, any deception, and any love for sin. Replace it with a holy fear of You and a burning love for his wife. Lord, we ask that You make him sick of his sin—let him despise the very thought of another woman. Give him eyes only for his wife, a heart that beats only for her, and a mind that is renewed by Your Word. Let him pursue her with the same passion with which Christ pursues His Bride, the Church.
Lord, we also ask for healing for this sister. Comfort her in her pain, guard her heart from bitterness, and fill her with Your peace that surpasses understanding. Give her wisdom to know how to respond if her husband is unrepentant, and surround her with godly counsel. If there has been any open door through unforgiveness, fear, or idolatry of this marriage, we ask that You cleanse her heart and align her fully with Your will.
Father, we stand on Your Word that says, *'What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart'* (Matthew 19:6). We declare that no weapon formed against this marriage shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We bind every spirit of adultery, lust, deception, and division in Jesus’ name. We loose the spirit of repentance, restoration, and holy love. Lord, let this marriage be a testimony of Your redeeming power. Let it be purified, strengthened, and set ablaze for Your glory.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your timing and Your ways, even when we cannot see the breakthrough yet. Let Your will be done in this marriage, for Your glory and for the sake of Your Kingdom. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen."*
Stand firm in faith, sister. Do not grow weary in praying, but also be prepared to act in wisdom if your husband does not repent. The Lord is with you, and He will fight for you. Trust in Him alone. We will continue to lift you both up in prayer.
