It’s a topic no one wants to talk about. Cheating. And you don’t think it is ever going to happen to you.
But what happens when you have to seek God for a powerful prayer against the other woman in your marriage?

Why Does Infidelity Happen
I wrote an article on Christian infidelity.
But why does it continue to happen even though we can recognize the reason it happens and ways to go about it?
Truth is, it is because we are only human. We sin. Regularly.
It is easy for us to judge our husbands/ wives when they commit adultery but it can happen to even the best marriages.
But, let’s go through some pointers anyway.
- – Did You Marry A Biblical Man?
Was faith a part of his life before marriage? It is harder to hold him accountable to standards he may not believe in.
Rest assured, there will be other ways to remind him of the vows he recited to you on your wedding day.
- – Did You Both Prioritize The Marriage?
With kids, in-laws, and chores, it was easy to let things slide and stop all forms of conversation to engage with each other.
Sure, you do talk but do you know how the person is feeling about certain matters? What new things do they want to accomplish? What books have they read recently?
You can use this guide as a sample!
If the both of you are not showing genuine interest in each other, someone else will.
- – Did You Both Perform Your Duties As Husband And Wife?
Just like the pointer above, can you say for 100% that you have given it your all? If not, why not?
Why did the both of you take all this time to let things escalate where another woman could move in with ease and potentially destroy the union that you and your husband have built?
- – Did You Both Give Your Marriage The Quality Time It Deserves?
Date nights are hard to come by especially when you have young children.
But, it doesn’t always have to be a candlelight dinner at a fancy restaurant.
For my husband and I, we try to spend at least 3 – 5 times a week lying in bed talking about everything under the sun once the kids are in bed.
We both feel so connected with each other and it doesn’t always have to involve sex.
While you may hell-bent on making the other woman’s life a misery by praying for all ill to fall on her, have you considered praying for your husband? Or even for yourself?
It is easy for us to blame an external party for the pain and bitterness we may be feeling.
It is harder to take accountability and ownership for what we can control. Which is perhaps, praying for our spouse and also ourselves.
This is exactly why I listed down prayers for everyone who is affected by infidelity. Not just for the other woman.
16 Powerful Prayers Against The Other Woman, Husband, And Even For Yourself
The Other Woman
1. Lord, give this other woman the healing she needs as she may be a broken woman who may not understand the consequences of her actions.
2. Lord, I ask that you shield my marriage from the other woman who is seeking to destroy what you have helped my husband and I create.

May he come to realize that what we have at home is something amazing with our beautiful family.

What Else Can You Do?
Lean On God
The majority of the prayers above are for your healing. As Christians, we are called by God to strive to be a better person each day. That often means praying for our enemies.
Nevertheless, don’t get caught in the bitterness of causing harm and pain to another woman.
It won’t help you restore your marriage but instead may just drive a wedge in it. Show your husband the graceful and compassionate woman you are.
Trusting God in uncertain times might be the best decision you make for your marriage.
Remember that healing doesn’t take place overnight. It is a long journey with a lot of ups and downs. As the Bible says, trust God and lean not on your understanding.
Speak With Your Husband
It is easy to let our family life run amok and not engage in conversation with our spouses.
Spend more time dedicated to nurturing the relationship you have with your husband.
If your husband is responsive to these conversations, it could be one of the signs God is restoring your marriage after praying so diligently.
Men don’t operate the same way women do. He might be embarrassed or angry for even putting himself and the family through this situation.
You want to be the one who walks with him during this journey – not another person.
Get Christian Counselling
Seek out counselling but one with a focus on the pillars of Christianity.
When you are going through such a tumultuous time in your marriage, nothing will make sense – only God.
You will want counsellors who have experience in providing you with a Biblical view on forgiveness and how to move on after an affair.
Pray For Your Marriage Together
I bet when you first started, it was easy to pray together. Over time, chores, kids, and everything else come in between that sacred time you have with each other.
Your marriage will be strengthened as you spend more time together with the Lord.
It will also serve as a reminder of the vows you once made to each other, which is to go through troubled times together.
Lasting Thoughts
You might have expected me to write 1001 powerful prayers against the other woman.
And while it pained me that you had to Google something so challenging in your life.
I hope the prayers provided above remind you that the only person you can control is yourself and your spouse.
To pray away from the other woman is to temporarily serve as a distraction for your wounded heart. Don’t waste time on her but use it instead to build your marriage up.
Let me know in the comments if any of these prayers have helped you in your marriage!
