I am need of a prayer to heal my broken marraige. I have made so many mistakes and lost my faith in God. God has saved my life and shown me all of my wrong doings, forgiven my of my sins, and held me through these troubles. My husband is struggling with forgiveness and has asked for a divorce. I know he still loves me, but he is scred to be hurt again. I ask for prayers that God will soften his heart and show him his will for our marrige just as God has done for me. I pray that my daughter be also be protected and she will be re-united with her step-father. He is so full of anger and evil in his heart. I beg God to save his soul. God has tought me true forgiveness and shown me my husband through his eyes. I love him more now than I did two years ago when we were married. Please pray that my husband will change his mind and not run away from us out of fear. I have christ in my heart and I will not back down from my marriage. I will not act with bitterness in my heart. I will stay strong and be patient in the Lord. Thank you for your prayers.

If your spouse tells you that he or she wants a divorce, then that means the marriage is over right? Well, not necessarily…
Consider this a disclaimer: if you are not an individual who has a strong faith base then there is absolutely no point in reading this hub. The things that I’m going to talk about in this post might sound ludicrous and even downright ridiculous to the average individual. Why? Because we live in an era with a society that will look at you and say: “What’s wrong with you?” “You are crazy.” “You do realize that you are just wasting your time, right?” “He isn’t worth all that.” “You’re stupid, you’re dumb, you’re weak”—and any other unsolicited comment that someone has made about your decision to fight for your marriage. Key words: it is YOUR decision; that means, what anyone else thinks really doesn’t matter.
This hub is written from a woman’s POV, but men, feel free to use this information if you’re the one who wants the marriage to work and your wife is ready for a divorce.
My husband and me, Oct 25, 2008
I watched a documentary once where a man very up in age had been married for over seventy years and the interviewer asked him, “For you to have been married for over half a century, can you please tell us what the secret to marital longevity is?” His answer was so simple that it blew me away. He answered, “The key to making your marriage last is to keep everyone else out of it.” Who is everyone else? Your mother, your father, your siblings…and guess who else? Yep, even your best friend. These are the people who have so much to say about your marriage, your husband, and especially, your decision.
It’s very important for me to lay the foundations of this hub first because when you decide to stay in your marriage even when your husband (or wife) is all the way out, your closest confidants will think you are a fool, that you are wasting your time waiting on someone who is not going to change. But guess what? It is your decision, your life, and your marriage and you do not need anyone else’s stamp of approval in order to confirm that you meant the vows that you made before God and man (til death do you part)—even if your spouse obviously didn’t.
But just know this. There is nothing that you can do that will change your spouse’s mind. Think about it; if there was something that you could have done to change his mind, you would have never gotten to this point. This is when it’s vital to understand that you cannot control him, you cannot control his actions, and you cannot force him to abide by the vows that he made. The only person who you can control is yourself. Here are some steps that you can take to help save your marriage, even once your spouse has decided that s/he wants a divorce.
Step 1: Is it Even Worth It?
Even if your spouse tells you that he or she is out of the marriage, you still have a choice of whether you want to be in or out. But before you make that decision, you need to decide two things: 1) Is it worth it to hold on? 2) Is God trying to shut a door that you’re stubbornly trying to force open? I cannot answer these questions for you and I wouldn’t recommend you to quickly give an answer to these questions. These are questions meant to be contemplated on, brought up in prayer, and wait for clear direction from God.
Step 2: Build Your Faith & Stay Positive
Yes, it takes two to be married, but don’t underestimate the power of one determined, faith-filled individual. I have to emphasize the word faith-filled because if you aren’t faith-filled, then this will never work. The reason why is because you’re looking toward man (your spouse) to do what he’s supposed to do as a husband, and you are placing your hope (faith) in him, your hope that eventually, he will come around and do the right thing. But after he lets you down time after time after time, you will begin to lose hope in him, and thus lose hope in your marriage.
At all times, you must stay positive. Replace every negative thought with a positive one and use uplifting words, not deconstructive ones. This may be hard to do, especially when you’re feeling anything but chipper, but a negative attitude coupled with a negative situation is a recipe for destruction. Stay positive and hopeful about your future, whether it entails a future with or without your spouse.
woman praying to save her marriage | Source Step 3: Control Your Emotions, Don’t Let Your Emotions Control You
The threat of a divorce can be scary, frustrating, and unbearably painful. One of the most difficult things to do during this time is to control your emotions, especially when your entire soul feels like one huge open wound that your spouse is continually pouring salt into. Control your emotions, but don’t suppress them. If you suppress your emotions (don’t give them any voice or express them in any way), then those suppressed emotions will build up like water being forced back by a dam, and eventually, those suppressed emotions will explode and we will probably see you on an episode of Snapped. You can express your emotions while still remaining in control of them. When you feel anger building in you, you can decide what’s the best way to express this anger instead of allowing the anger to decide for you. When you feel sadness caving in your chest, you can decide what’s the best way to express this sadness instead of just holding it inside. It’s okay to cry—but try not to do it in front of the kids. It’s okay to curse and throw things (but again, try not to do it in front of the kids).
Here’s What Talking Turns Into…husband and wife fussing, angry, headed to a divorce | Source Step 4: Don’t Try to Resolve the Issue by Talking
I hate to break the bad news to you, but talking to your spouse isn’t going to change a thing. If talking to him could fix things, wouldn’t everything be resolved by now? And talking to your best friend or family members or coworkers is only going to make matters worse. All they will do is give their opinion about what they think you should do and then they begin to hate your spouse for how badly he treats you. The bad part is that if your marriage is resolved, you’re all smiles but the people who know the intimate details of how badly he hurt you will still hate him. Instead of talking to them about your marriage, why not talk to the one person who can actually fix things for you (if it’s in His will). Try this: everything you want to say to your spouse, say it to God (or a Higher Being). When he hurts you, cutting you deep to your soul, tell God and only God. Here’s an example:
God, did you hear what he just said to me? I am his wife! How dare he talk to me like that? Did you see how wrong he just did his kids? If I try to talk to him, he’s just going to shut me out and say, ‘See, that’s why I don’t want to be with you. Nothing I ever do is good enough for you.’ But God, even you see that he’s not even trying. He says he’s giving 100%, but God, you and I both see that he’s not even giving 10. He’s too concerned about her, running around, playing daddy to her kids while he’s ignoring his own children. He thinks the grass is greener on the other side, but it’s just a matter of time before they hit some stormy weather as well. God, you know what my husband is doing is not right. Please fix this situation, God, because I don’t know what else to do. Help us, God. Help my marriage.
When you put your hope in God (or a Higher Being), it doesn’t really matter what your spouse is doing or is not doing because your hope is in God who will never let you down. Take your focus off what your spouse is doing and put your focus solely on God and what all you need to accomplish in your personal life while you wait expectantly to see how God is going to resolve the situation.

Some questions to consider concerning your marriage/spouse
when your marriage feels like a roller coaster ride | Source Step 5: Get Off the Crazy Roller Coaster Ride
Don’t try to do or say things to get a response out of your spouse. It won’t work, at least not in the way you hope it will. Stop calling him all the time, trying to come up with a plausible excuse as to why you called when really, all you want to do is hear his voice. Stop trying to lure him back into your bed simply because the fact that he’s still having sex with you is making you feel like you have a 1-up on the other woman (if there is another woman). When you know you’ll be around him for whatever reason, stop wearing overly sexy clothes to try to get a response out of him. And for Christ’s sake, have some dignity! Have enough self-respect not to go begging and pleading on your knees, wailing for him to come back to you, begging for him to come back to you. Are you not better than that, that you have to beg and plead and cry and snot for a man to be with you? Getting off his crazy roller coaster will give you an insurmountable level of peace while you ride out the storm until God moves in your marriage.
Step 6: Accept What God Allows
I cannot see the future so I have no idea whether your marriage is truly over or not. But what I do know is this; often in life, we find ourselves in situations where we feel like if we don’t get our way (our marriage being saved), then somehow God has let us down. Even if you follow this hub to the T, praying incessantly for your spouse and your marriage, he might still file for a divorce. And when he does, there’s nothing you can do but go on with your life. Did God fail you? No. It just wasn’t in His will for your marriage to continue. In this case, you must accept what God allows.
my husband and me, surviving the threat of a divorce My Experience with My Husband’s Infidelity
At one point in my marriage, I found out that my husband was having an extramarital affair. To date, it is one of the most hurtful, soul-injuring experiences I’ve ever had to endure. How did I find out? No, he didn’t tell me. His behavior changed and as an intuitive woman, I became suspicious and began to investigate like only we women can do. I found her number and her address, contacted her, and she admitted to everything—of course, he denied it all at the time. That night, I had a barn fire in front of our house. But I didn’t use wood or trash. I used his clothes, every piece of it: hats, shoes, pants, coats, shirts—you name it, it went up in flames.
After that, I was certain that I didn’t want to be with him anymore. I felt embarrassed, humiliated, betrayed, insecure, devastated (just to name a few of my conflicting emotions). And just when you think it can’t get any worse, it did. He admitted to me that not only did he care deeply for this woman, but he wanted to be with her exclusively. His confession knocked the little breath I still had right out of my soul.
According to my husband, our marriage was over. According to me, I still wanted things to work but I couldn’t make him want to be with me. So you know what I did? I went on with my life, allowed him to do whatever he was doing with her, and waited patiently in prayer for God to knock some sense into my husband and restore my marriage. Waiting patiently is the hard part when you want your marriage to work and you want it to work now. Waiting patiently is gut-wrenching, especially in a society where we constantly receive instant gratification (instant oatmeal, rent-on-demand movies, fastfood restaurants, etc.)
Not only did I know this woman’s phone number and knew where she lived, I also knew what car she drove. I could have attempted to make her life a living hell in order to get my husband back, but I didn’t want to make someone be with me if he didn’t want to. Because I was fully aware that that woman wasn’t holding my husband hostage in her home; he was a willing participant who could leave at any time.
So I talked to God and told Him everything, how bad it was hurting me, how badly I wanted my marriage to work. And God spoke to me in a very clear voice, as though he was walking down the sidewalk beside me, and placed his lips near my ear and said, “He said your marriage is over…but what did I say?” And when God told me that, nothing else mattered. It didn’t matter what my husband was doing with the other woman; the only thing that mattered was that I knew in my soul that God had the final say on our marriage. Needless to say, even with my faith, this was a very difficult time in my life and I lost a tremendous amount of weight due to the depression I was fighting. But in less than a year’s time, God had restored my husband and my marriage.
It’s no walk in the park and we still have some kinks to iron out, but I’m regaining my trust in my husband day by day, and the fact that he’s so open about the affair and that we talk about it and the pain that it caused our marriage and our children, it is truly helping me to heal. Sharing my story with you all is also a part of the healing process.
wedding rings, overcoming divorce, making the marriage work | Source Is it Too Late for Your Marriage?After reading this hub, do you think there’s still hope to overcome a divorce in your situation? In Summary
In the face of divorce, you can still save your marriage. It’s never too late. Even after the dotted line is signed, God can restore and rebuild anything that He wants to restore and rebuild. Take the story of Lazarus for example. If he can raise from the dead a man whose body has already begun decomposing, then why can’t he raise your decomposing marriage from the dead? Even if your husband has left you, you can be physically absent from the marriage, but still faithfully present.
Just remember that there is power in prayer, that you need to control your emotions and not let them control you, and that you need to ask God to help you accept whatever he allows. Psalms 3, 4, and 5 gave me so much peace in that most depressive time of my marriage. I hope this hub and those 3 psalms bring you a measure of peace as well. No matter what, keep fighting for what you believe in and don’t let anybody tell you that you’re stupid for wanting your marriage to work.

If you’re someone who got married in a church, there’s a pretty good chance that you have some type of faith foundation. If that is indeed the case, you might want to check out the article “What God Hath Joined Together”. It addresses what the Bible says about marriage and divorce in a way that may not currently be “popular” but is still biblically-sound. The reality is that some people seek divorce as a solution to the problems within their marriage because they do not have spiritual knowledge on what can be done in order to save a marriage from divorce.
However, whether or not you consider yourself to be a religious person, we think it’s safe to assume that when you got married, you did it with the intentions of your relationship lasting for a lifetime; not just a few months or several years. Yet when times get really hard, it’s understandable that you might think that there’s nothing else that can be done other than for you and your spouse to go your separate ways.
Thankfully, there are things that you can do to save a marriage from divorce. Here are five that couples in trouble have done to transition from “for worse” to “for the better”.
Table of contents
1. Communicate with each other
One of the main reasons why there are so many grey divorces is due to what a person once said: “People change and forget to tell one another.” In order for a relationship to grow, the people involved are going to have to communicate with one another. This consists of sharing mutual wants and needs, learning each other’s love languages and being committed to really listening to one another as well. There are far too many couples who end filing for divorce because there is so much resentment that simply comes from not feeling heard and validated. If divorce is even remotely in your mind, it’s time to have a serious heart-to-heart with your spouse.
2. Go to a professional counselor
And what if you can’t seem to get on the same page with one another? If that’s the case, make an appointment to see a professional marriage counselor. They have been trained in how to deal with all sorts of marital issues, including communication problems. They are also excellent mediators if there are topics that need to be addressed but one or both of you seem to be avoiding.
3. Learn to forgive
If people were perfect, divorce would probably be non-existent. But the reality is that all of us are human which means that all of us are flawed. And what that means is all of us make mistakes. A wise man once said that “A happy marriage consists of two good forgivers” and there is so much truth to that resolve. There are lots of articles on the internet that can provide you with tips on how to forgive your spouse. The main thing to keep in mind is when you pardon them for an offense, it helps to remove your bitterness and their guilt. And as a result, more times than not, it brings forth a freedom that can actually bring the two of you closer together.
4. Set healthy boundaries
Best-selling authors Henry Cloud and John Townsend penned a book entitled Boundaries in Marriage. One of the awesome things about it is it serves as a reminder that just because you and your spouse are married, that doesn’t mean that you should lose your individuality in the process. There are some couples who are tempted to call it quits because they feel like their relationship is suffocating them; that they don’t have a voice anymore in their relationship. Learning how to respect one another by setting some healthy boundaries may be the solution to that problem.
5. Get back to your friendship
The best way to have a strong marital relationship is to have an awesome friendship at its foundation. And so, if you’re currently contemplating divorce, don’t spend so much time asking yourself if you’re still “in love”. Right now, it’s much more important to determine if you’re in love. Remember, the very definitions of the word “friend” is someone who offers assistance and support, who provides affection and who is a confidante, advocate and ally. If you and your spouse can get back to that place, the love will return and the marriage can be restored. And hopefully, there will be no need to ever bring up the word “divorce” again.
