As separated couples, the devil wants to feed you with many lies. One of such lies is his insistence that your marriage is over.
His aim is for you to give up entirely on your marriage and never fight for it. However, you must not fall for his lies, especially if you still want your marriage to work.
You must remember that nothing is impossible with God, especially if He’s on your side. As a result, it is never too late to win back your spouse.
God can still work miracles in your marriage. So rather than negotiating with the devil, silence his voice with the prayers for separated couples in this article.
