Marriage is God’s covenant gift, a holy union designed to reflect His love (Genesis 2:24). But anything God establishes, Satan tries to destroy. Many couples don’t fight with each other—they fight invisible battles through each other. Misunderstandings, sudden anger, emotional withdrawal, financial strain, infidelity temptations, and coldness of heart are often symptoms of deeper spiritual warfare.
The Bible reveals that “we wrestle not against flesh and blood” (Ephesians 6:12). This means the real enemy in spiritually attacked marriages is not the husband or wife—it is the devil seeking to steal peace, steal joy, and ultimately break the covenant.
But God is faithful. His Word is powerful. Prayer is still the weapon that restores peace and rebuilds homes.
This teaching will help you discern spiritual attacks, stand on Scripture, and pray Spirit-filled prayers that usher peace and healing back into your marriage.
Understanding Spiritual Attacks in Marriage
A spiritually attacked marriage often shows patterns that seem unnatural, repetitive, or exaggerated—beyond normal disagreements.
(1) Sudden Communication Breakdown
Where there was openness, there is now constant misunderstanding. One speaks, the other hears something different. Words become triggers. Silence replaces connection. This is the enemy’s strategy—to block unity (Psalm 133:1–3).
(2) Irritation Without Cause
A couple begins to dislike each other’s presence. Small issues become wars. Sweetness turns to bitterness overnight. This reflects the enemy’s involvement because confusion is never from God (1 Corinthians 14:33).
(3) Prayerlessness Comes In
Spiritual attacks thrive where altars are weak. If a couple suddenly cannot pray anymore, there is spiritual interference.
Remember: “Strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter” (Zechariah 13:7).
(4) Emotional or Physical Disconnection
Spouses may withdraw affection, avoid intimacy, or lose desire for each other without a clear reason. This is a sign that something is attacking God’s covenant bond (Mark 10:9).
(5) Constant Financial Crisis
Satan often targets finances to increase stress in marriage, knowing that economic pressure breaks unity.
(6) Strange Dreams or Oppression
When one or both spouses experience nightmares, rejection dreams, intimacy dreams, or spiritual attacks at night, the marriage is being targeted.
The solution is not fear—it is Spirit-filled warfare and persistent prayer.
What the Bible Says About God’s Desire for Peace in Marriage
God desires marriages to flourish in:
• Unity — “Two are better than one.” (Ecclesiastes 4:9–12)
Unity makes marriages unbreakable.
• Peace — “The God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly.” (Romans 16:20)
Where God’s peace reigns, Satan bows.
• Covenant Faithfulness — “What God has joined together, let no man put asunder.” (Mark 10:9)
Not even demons can break what God joins—unless couples give them room.
• Love That Protects — (1 Corinthians 13:7)
God’s design for marriage is a sanctuary of love and protection—not a battlefield.
• Restoration —
God is the God who restores broken hearts and broken homes:
“I will restore the years…” (Joel 2:25)
This means your marriage can be healed, renewed, and restored—regardless of what is happening now.
