A newly married wife expects her husband to love her until the end. But some husbands become cold to their wives, forgetting their vows and covenants. The good news is that the Lord knows how painful the situation of an unloved wife is (Ps. 34:18). Therefore, you can take comfort in the presence of the Lord, Who unconditionally loves you and is willing to help you. Here is a prayer for your husband to be loving:
Abba Father, You know how deeply hurt I am because of my unloving husband. Hear my cries and heal my heart, Lord. Touch my husband’s heart and restore the love that he had for me before. I renounce the callousness and unfaithfulness in his heart, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

How can I pray for my husband to love me?
Like a plant, the relationship between a husband and wife needs to be nourished daily to grow. Bitterness, unforgiveness, and hatred can make a husband unloving toward his wife. Although you love your spouse, you cannot force him to love you again. But by asking God for help, He can restore all things that the enemy has stolen, including your husband’s love (1 Pet. 5:10). Below are the prayers that you can declare:

Prayer for the outpouring of God’s love
The love of God can be poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit (Rom.5:5). After we receive God’s love, the Lord can set us free from callousness, bitterness, and hatred. Healing will also start in our lives. A possible reason why your husband cannot love you is that he is not experiencing God’s love. Remember, we cannot give to others what we don’t have. Ask the Lord to fill your spouse’s heart with His presence and love through this prayer:
Prayer for Husband to Be Loving
Heavenly Father, fill my husband’s heart with Your overflowing love. Give life to his passion, hopes, and dreams once again. Heal him from all pain, bitterness, and hatred. Teach him to love as You have loved him—unconditionally, faithfully, and truly. I break the callousness and anger in his heart in Jesus’ Name! Thank You for hearing my prayer, Father. Amen.

Prayer for restoration
God is the author of marriage (Gen. 2:18-25). The plan of God for married couples is for them to love one another and fill their home with joy and laughter. Without love inside the family, there will be no peace, unity, or joy. If your home is in chaos because of an unloving husband, don’t worry. God can restore your marriage and bring back the love of your husband. Here is a prayer for restoration:
Dear God, thank You for Your unending love in my life. Although I am in pain, you have great plans for my family and me. Lord, restore my husband’s love for us. May he see the beauty of having us as his family. Bring back the laughter, peace, and joy in our marriage and home. For this, I pray. Amen.

Prayer for forgiveness
Is a conflict in your marriage making your husband unloving toward you? Invite the Lord to fix the situation, bringing forgiveness to your husband’s heart (Col. 3:13). Unless we understand how the Lord forgave our sins, we cannot forgive those who have hurt and offended us. If your husband is experiencing unforgiveness, utter this prayer for him:
Prayer for Husband to Be Loving
Father, help my husband forgive as You have forgiven him. Touch his heart and reveal to him what Jesus did on the Cross for the forgiveness of our sins. Set him free from bitterness, anger, and hatred, in Jesus’ Name! Let the spirit of love and forgiveness cover my husband, embracing him in Your presence. Thank you, Lord. Amen.

Prayer against unfaithfulness
An unfaithful partner can be unloving to his or her spouse. Prophet Hosea married Gomer—a prostitute who was unfaithful to him. But despite what Gomer had done to her husband, he accepted and loved her (Hos. 3). The life of Hosea and Gomer depicted God’s love for us. Although we are unfaithful to Him, He saved and redeemed us. If your husband is unfaithful to you, don’t give up on him. Surrender your pain to the Lord and let Him change your husband’s heart:
Dear God, I surrender the pain in my heart caused by my husband’s unfaithfulness. But I believe You can bring back his love for me, Lord. Remind him of our beautiful moments and the covenant he swore in front of You. I end the unfaithfulness in his heart, in Jesus’ Name! I declare freedom from lust and adultery. Thank You for saving my marriage, Lord. Amen.

Prayer for healing
A person who has experienced a lot of pain may be afraid to love again. Your husband’s unloving behavior can be a result of fear and trauma. Instead of getting angry at him, understand why your husband is unloving toward you. Is it because of a painful childhood? Was he betrayed by the people he trusted and loved? If this is the case, ask God to heal your husband’s heart (Ps. 147:3):
Almighty God, You are the One Who truly knows what my husband has been through. Heal his heart from rejection, pain, and betrayal. Teach him to love and trust again. Let Your presence be upon him, assuring that You love and accept him. Only Your love can heal him, Lord. All the glory and honor belong to You, Father. Amen.
