You’re not praying against your spouse happiness. You’re praying against the lies that to be happy means to leave their marriage and children behind.
But if their “happiness” is interrupted through your prayers then it is what it is! It needs to be disrupted because it was never Gods plan for the spouse to chase after the world.
God is not telling a spouse to neglect their family. In the name of happiness.
Happiness is not the end goal anyway. The joy of the Lord is what we’re after.
When happiness runs out this cycle will repeat itself over and over.
Go be happy they say! What about go seek God and ask Him how to help you to not give in to the devil tactics.
How about staying put, seeking the face of the Lord, and asking to lead you out of temptation so you won’t be led away from home.
