We join with you in lifting up this urgent and heartfelt cry for your marriage, for we know that God delights in uniting husbands and wives in a bond that reflects Christ’s love for the Church. Your passion for a deeper, Christ-centered union with your husband is a beautiful testament to the covenant of marriage, and we stand with you in prayer, believing that the Lord will ignite a fire of love, desire, and devotion between you both that cannot be quenched.
The Scriptures remind us of the sacredness of marriage and the power of God to restore, renew, and deepen the love between a husband and wife. In **Song of Solomon 8:6-7 (WEB)**, we read, *"Set me as a seal on your heart, as a seal on your arm; for love is strong as death. Jealousy is as cruel as Sheol. Its flashes are flashes of fire, a very flame of Yahweh. Many waters can’t quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned."* This is the kind of love the Lord desires for marriages—unbreakable, passionate, and rooted in Him. And in **Ephesians 5:25 (WEB)**, husbands are called to *"love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it."* Likewise, wives are to *"see to it that you respect your husband"* (**Ephesians 5:33, WEB**). This mutual love and respect, empowered by the Holy Spirit, creates a marriage that thrives in every way.
We also take note of your plea for your husband’s salvation and the filling of the Holy Spirit. There is no greater gift you can seek for him than this, for *"the husband of one wife, ruling his own house well, having children in subjection with all reverence; (for if a man doesn’t know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the assembly of God?)"* (**1 Timothy 3:2, 4-5, WEB**). A man who walks with the Lord is equipped to lead his home in love, wisdom, and strength. We declare **Acts 2:38 (WEB)** over him: *"Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."* May the Lord soften his heart, draw him into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ, and fill him to overflowing with the Holy Spirit, transforming him into the godly husband and spiritual leader your marriage needs.
Yet we must also gently remind you that while it is good to desire a deep and passionate connection with your husband, your ultimate fulfillment and security must be found in Christ alone. Even the most godly marriage cannot replace the intimacy we are to have with our Savior. **"Whom have I in heaven but you? There is no one on earth whom I desire besides you"** (**Psalm 73:25, WEB**). Guard your heart against idolatry—even the idolatry of marriage—by ensuring that Jesus remains your first love. When both you and your husband are fully surrendered to Him, your union will flourish beyond what you could imagine.
Now, let us pray together over your marriage, your husband’s salvation, and your shared future:
---
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this sister and her husband. Lord, You are the Author of marriage, the One who joins two lives into one flesh, and we ask that You would breathe new life into their union. Ignite in them a love that is deeper, stronger, and more passionate than ever before—a love that mirrors Your own love for us. Let their hearts burn with desire for one another, not in lust, but in a holy and sacred longing that draws them closer to You and to each other.
Father, we pray for a divine connection between them, a bond that is unbreakable, a friendship that is unshakable, and a trust that is unwavering. May they be each other’s greatest confidant, supporter, and companion, walking hand in hand through every season of life. Remove any barriers, any distractions, or any influences that would seek to weaken their marriage. Let their eyes be only for each other, their hearts devoted solely to You and to one another, with no room for anyone or anything else.
Lord, we cry out for the salvation of this husband. Softening his heart, Lord, and draw him to Yourself. Let him encounter Your love in a way he cannot deny. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, giving him the strength to lead his home in righteousness, the wisdom to cherish his wife as Christ cherishes the Church, and the passion to pursue You above all else. May he be a man after Your own heart, a godly husband who loves, protects, and provides for his wife in every way.
We rebuke any scheme of the enemy that would seek to divide this marriage, to dampen their love, or to distract them from Your will. By the blood of Jesus, we declare that their marriage is protected, their love is sealed, and their future is secure in You. Let their home be a place of peace, joy, and godly passion—a testimony of Your goodness and faithfulness.
Father, we ask that You would also strengthen this sister in her faith. Fill her with Your peace as she waits on You to move in her husband’s life. Help her to trust You completely, to find her joy in You alone, and to walk in obedience to Your Word. May she be a wife who reflects Your love, Your grace, and Your wisdom, encouraging her husband in his walk with You.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your promises, knowing that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. May this marriage be a beacon of Your glory, a reflection of Your covenant love, and a blessing to all who witness it. In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Sister, we encourage you to continue praying fervently for your husband and your marriage, but also to take action in faith. Speak life over your husband daily, serve him with love, and trust God to work in his heart. Study **1 Peter 3:1-6 (WEB)**, which teaches wives how to win their husbands without a word through their godly behavior. Stand firm in prayer, but also stand firm in faith, believing that God is moving even when you don’t see it yet.
If there are areas in your marriage where sin has taken root—whether it be bitterness, unforgiveness, or worldly influences—we urge you to address them biblically. **"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**). Keep short accounts with one another, and let love and forgiveness reign in your home.
Finally, we leave you with this promise: **"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart"** (**Psalm 37:4, WEB**). Seek Him first, and trust that He will align the desires of your heart with His will. He is faithful, and He will complete the good work He has begun in your marriage. Stay encouraged, stay in prayer, and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. He is your hope and your strength.
