It can be exceptionally hard to fight for your husband’s love and intimacy when the effort isn’t reciprocated. As women, we crave the intimacy and affection of our husbands, and if they are not extending it, we tend to feel hurt and even at times a bit rejected.
I encourage you to fight in prayer for your husband and your marriage, even if you don’t believe he is doing the same for you. While praying for him, remember what the scripture says in 1st Corinthians 13:7 “Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.” Keep your faith in God as you pray for God to change your husband’s heart, always thanking him for his faithfulness.
If you don’t know where to begin, below are some prayers that will help you in praying for your husband’s love to return to you. We have a comments section below, as well, that you can use to ask others for prayer, or even to connect with a sister in Christ who is going through (or has gone through) something similar.
Short Prayer For My Husband To Love Me Again
Lord, I lift my marriage up to you in prayer. You know my heart, and you know the hurts and struggles I am facing.
Lord, I pray that you remove any bitterness or anger directed towards me from my husband’s heart. I pray for you to give my husband grace to forgive my shortcomings, and that you also give me grace to forgive his shortcomings.
I ask, Father that you place a new love in my husband’s heart for me. Your Word says, “Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church, and gave himself up for her,” and Lord, I ask that he loves me in the way that Christ loves the church.
I pray you help me to love and respect my husband in the manner that he needs, and in the way you have called me to do so.
Thank you Lord, for your faithfulness. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
Long Prayer For My Husband To Love Me Again
Heavenly Father, I come to you humbly, seeking healing in my marriage. Your Word says that my husband and I are no longer two; but one flesh, and that what God has joined together, let not man separate.
I stand on this, Lord. You are the rock in our marriage even as we face hardships.
Father, I desire my husband; I desire his love and emotional intimacy. My heart yearns for him.
I pray you give him a desire for me, Lord, that you deepen his love for me.
I pray that you reveal to him the longing I have in my heart for him, Lord, and reveal to him the things that are putting a wedge in our marriage.
If I have done harm to him Lord, or hurt him in any way that he has not forgotten and it has become a stumbling block for him, I pray you reveal what is on his heart to me Lord, so I can ask for his forgiveness for causing him pain. I also ask Lord, that you give him grace to forgive me.
I ask that you open opportunities up to us for bonding Lord, so that we can spend quality time with one another.

Thank you Lord for the work you are doing in our marriage.
In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.

I ask that you make him sensitive to the things he may say or do that cause me pain.

Lord, I pray for your peace that surpasses all understanding to cover me, and to guard my heart and mind in Christ.
I know you see my heart Lord and know the pain I feel as I so deeply long for my husband’s love and affection.
Help me to release all attempts to control his feelings towards me, and to allow you to work in his heart.
In this season Lord, I ask that you speak to me through your Word, and help me to lean on you.
I ask that your Holy Spirit surround me and comfort me.
Thank you God for all that you are doing in my life, my husband’s life, and in our marriage.
It’s in your holy name we pray, amen.
Concluding Thoughts
It is hard to know what to do when you feel unwanted and unloved by the person who vowed to love you forever, whether it be your husband or your wife. But God can help and prayer is a powerful way to lay a foundation of love in your relationships.
In this world we will always face trials, even with, and dare I say, especially with those that we love the most. This, unfortunately, is the result of a sinful world.
God clearly instructs husbands and wives of their duties multiple times in the Bible. Women are always to submit to their husbands, and men are always to love their wives.
I take comfort knowing that the Lord of all creation knows the heart of a wife. He has called husbands to love their wives as Christ loves the church.
When you pray for your husband to love you, you are in line with the will of God and he will honor that.
I encourage you to comment below and pray with another woman of God who may be facing trials similar to yours. Remember what Jesus says in Matthew 18:19, “Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.”
I pray that my husband will stop his adulterous affair and return to me immediately.Lord I pray that he will love me again deeper than before and a total restoration for our marriage.I also pray that he always choose the right thing and never abandon his family for bodily lust and lastly I pray that Lord give him courage and power to resist temptation of any form and kind.Help him Lord to seek help to you
Help me also God to forgive him and give me a strong will to stay with him and help him recover even it hurts.
In Jesus name I pray amen

Dear God I pray that you soften my husbands heart and allow him to love and adore me again just as Christ does the church. Lord remove any anger or harsh feelings towards me from his mind and his heart. Bring peace to him and allow him to show me grace as you continuously show us. Lord I know that I have not been the Proverbs 31 wife that you called me to be. I have always submitted to my husband, some right by our finances or just him in general but Lord you know my heart and you know that my love is deep for my husband and it was my own selfish ways and lack of knowledge of not knowing what it is to be a true wife Lord. A God fearing wife waking an according to your ways Lord. So I need now for both yours and his forgiveness Father! I pray that you restore seven fold what has been lost. My heart is aching daily Lord! Bring him back to our bed Lord to sleep next to me every night Lord. Make his words to me more and not few. Allow for us to spend time together again. To laugh again. Too trust again. To love again. Lord I know you are a healer, protector and provider and Lord you said if we have faith even as small as a mustard seed it shall be done. My faith is greater because I know you reign Lord. Lord teach me to be still and allow you to V work like only you can do with my husbands heart and mind. Be still! Lord bring a calmness and peace over me that just allows me to just focus on being a better me God, got you first, me second and then him! Let me honor my husband and love him as I should of been doing for years and Lord my ways of old, cast them out and change them! Make me over Lord! Start us anew as if we had just started dating. Give us a fresh new love Father God! Lord I all these things in your mighty name and I call them to be true from this moment forward, and Lord I pray for every woman that comes here for healing and comfort may you bless them And their marriage. Amen
Amen. Praying for you.
I pray that my husband would listen to God’s voice & feel His heart again.
I pray that God would open his heart and heal the wounds caused by the enemy.
I pray that my husband would experience God’s Love through me and that he would love me again the way Christ loves the church. I pray for protection over our children in this season and for the Holy Spirit to be present in our home. Let no weapon formed against us prosper! God, please heal my heart at this time as well. In Jesus’ name xo
Praying for you and your husband. I know others will be praying too. God bless.
Please pray for me and my husband. He told me lately that he is no longer interested in me, that I can find another man if I care, simply that I caught his affair. I don’t have a divorce nor separation. He is a very wonderful soul to me and the kids. I want him back completely affectionate as he has ever been. Above all, let God grant him true repentance. Amen
Praying for you and for your family. Others will be too. God bless.
I thank God for my husband, he is such a wonderful man but I broke him because of years of watching how my mum tore down my dad. I’ve repented and I’ve been praying for God to work in me to be a better person, wife and mum. We’ve got two beautiful daughters, one with special needs. And ever since I broke him, he’s been emotionally detached and I found out he had an affair… He used to be such a Godly man, and now wants nothing to do with God.
Heavenly Father…. I thank you for my wonderful husband that I can’t recognize anymore… I pray for and uphold all marriages as well…. I pray that you will melt his heart and break down those walls… I pray that all bondages and shackles of the enemy be broken and release right now in Jesus’ name! I pray for soul ties with the other party to be broken and severed in Jesus’ name! I declare for your healing and restoration to return to him and our marriage and the spirit of assassination over our marriage be gone in the name of Jesus’! I pray your spirit will guide and lead him to the small and narrow gate, and you will make his paths straight! Like in Joshua, I pray you will make him strong and courageous and not let the fear of running the race push him out. I pray that you make me the wife you want me to be and bring back excitement and anticipation to him! I pray for peace to be with me and I will be still and trust in your timing, and lose the temptation to control. I pray you will teach me to listen to your voice and discern what and when to do something, and what to say as well. Grant me wisdom of Lord and gentle speech…. I pray I will be Quick to listen and slow to speak.
Thank you Lord for everything…
In Jesus name, Amen and Amen!
Amen.
I pray for all of the women who have posted about their relationships with their husbands. I pray that God will restore each of them. I pray that each one will have the patience to be still and know that he is God and to let him work. I too am facing the same situation in my marriage. My husband has totally checked out and gas lights me to get me upset. He hasn’t said he doesn’t love me but the affection and intimacy is no longer there. I believe there is someone else but can’t prove for sure. We were high school sweethearts and have been together for over 30 years. My prayer is that God softens his heart towards me and that he feels the love that he once had for me. I pray that God guards his heart from any temptations that he may face. My prayer is that he seeks God’s guidance so that we can come together. I pray that I can be the I Peter 3:1-3 wife and win him over without a word.
Amen.
Thank you so much Ann for leading us in these prayers.
My husband and I have been separated for 15 months and we are living 900 miles apart. He began telling me that he wants a divorce a little over a year ago but nothing has been filled, and he stopped telling me he loved me. We have still been talking or texting but fewer and further between and when I’ve asked if we can see each other he has refused. I have been praying for him and our marriage. I decided to visit him earlier this month and I stayed in a hotel incase he didn’t want to see me, but things went better than I could have imagined. There have been no plans discussed of getting back together but he has stopped mentioning divorce and begun telling me he loves me when we talk. I am praying that the God of reconciliation will work a miracle in my marriage, soften my husbands heart, restore our relationship, and work in the details of bring us back together. ❤️
Praying for you and your family. God bless!
