Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Ephesians 5:25 KJV
God has commanded your husband to love you just as Christ loved the church. A love that is boundless, kind, patient, forgiving, compassionate, and selfless.
Yet we must remember: your husband is also human and, in this fallen world, who may sometimes fall short of this calling. If your husband has stopped showing you love and affection for whatever reason, take your time to say these powerful prayers in faith. And we pray that the Lord who sees what is done in secret will reward you (Matt 6:6)
A Prayer For My Husband to Love Me Again
Dear Lord, please remind my husband’s heart how to love me again. Open his eyes to see me, the wife he once cherished. Remove the obstacle that is currently blocking his view and love for me, and bring down every stronghold set against my marriage.
Reveal to me my own errors so that I may repent and turn from my sin. Where I have failed him, by not meeting his needs, dishonoring him before You, acting selfishly, or even trying to manipulate him, I plead for Your mercy and forgiveness.
Soften his heart, Lord, and fill him with compassion and kindness towards me. Where I feel hurt and broken, I pray for Your healing hand to mend my heart and restore to me the peace of God that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Teach me how to win back my husband’s affection, and let my efforts be seen, felt, and accepted.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
A Prayer for Forgiveness From My Husband
Dear Lord, You alone know my husband’s heart and the hurt or bitterness he may be carrying because of me. By Your grace, You can soften his heart and calm his anger.
Lord, please help him release all bitterness, rage, and anger (Ephesians 4:31). Teach him to forgive me just as You have forgiven me. May he not judge me for my past or treat me harshly, but be willing to overlook my faults (Proverbs 19:11).
Where I can’t see my own mistakes, please open my eyes and give me a humble heart to repent. Where my husband has also hurt me, help him to see his faults and confess them to You.
Guide us both to truly forgive one another and be willing to rebuild what has been broken. Help us to let go of pride, to walk in humility and gentleness, bearing with one another in love (Ephesians 4:2).
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
A Prayer for Better Communication With My Husband
Dear Lord, I invite You into our conversations and ask that You teach us how to truly communicate with each other. Help us develop the skills to listen well and speak with kindness. Please give us self-control so that we may be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to wrath (James 1:19).
Where either of us struggles with impatience, bitterness, resentment, or harsh words, please convict our hearts and help us turn from those ways. When we feel hurt or offended, guide us to share our feelings honestly, without blaming, judging, or dishonoring each other.
Lord, help us be humble enough to see and admit our own mistakes, and to ask for forgiveness when we are wrong. Teach us to use our words to bring healing and peace, rather than hurt.
In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
