Prayer can mend any damaged bridge, clear any confusion, straighten any heart, resolve any conflict, and heal any hurt. It can bring reconciliation to your marriage.

It doesn’t matter if your own situation is that of a troubled relationship; a spouse who has left the matrimonial home; infidelity; confusion; breakdown in communication, or a marriage heading towards divorce.

God wants to and is able to heal your marriage. Nothing is impossible with God.
