What is A Spiritual Husband or Spiritual Wife?

A spouse is someone you are married to. This may be in the form of a wife or husband. In the physical realm spouses may also be referred to as a life partner, bride, groom or the better-half.

 “Better-half” is indicative of a soul-tie whereby the two have become one and each one of them refer to the other as the “better part” of the same person. The spouse therefore qualifies to be your next of kin or closest relative.

On a spiritual level it is possible that spirit beings betroth themselves to human beings. What spirit husbands do tallies with what some scholars believe is the key being shown us in Genesis 6:1-2:

What is A Spiritual Husband or Spiritual Wife?

“And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born unto them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.”

The Apocryphal writings of the Catholic Bible show us that there is something like a spiritual spouse which has destructive tendencies on love affairs and marriages. A story is told of a young man who was afraid to marry someone who was oppressed by a spirit which can be equated to a spiritual spouse:
“Tobias then said to Raphael; Azarius, my friend, I have already heard about Sarah’s seven former husbands and how each one dropped dead on his wedding night even before they could get to bed. According to story I heard, a demon killed them, it doesn’t harm Sarah but he kills every man who tries to get near her. I am afraid of this demon…” (Tobit 6:13-14)

This then shows that it is possible that spirit beings betroth human beings. A spiritual spouse is a spirit being that is married to a human being either by consent or by “force”. Force here is used to define marriage not consummated by mutual agreement. It is effective because the human being is ignorant of spiritual doorways that they have opened into their lives through disobedience to God. At a certain time, a person may lust after someone. This transforms to obsession if not kept in check. For some, they go the spiritual route of illegally “naming and claiming” a particular person as a spouse. This is a form of witchcraft. When familiar spirits see that you have opened a door through this they take the form of the person and have sex with you. The spirits therefore, legally, enjoin themselves to the person because whoever lives in unconfessed sin legally belongs to the devil:

“He that commiteth sin is of the devil…” (1 John 3:8a).
