Is it permissible to pray for the subjugation of one's husband, just as the wind was subjugated for Solomon, the sea for Moses, and the whale for Jonah, and for his heart to be softened just as iron was softened for David, and for his anger to be rendered cool and peaceful, just as the fire was made cool for Abraham?

The mentioned supplication may suggest the wife's desire to dominate and control her husband, which is considered an transgression. However, if her intention is merely for mutual agreement and compatibility in a righteous manner, then there is no harm. It is more appropriate to replace it with lawful supplications or other good supplications that call for the husband's righteousness and the conciliation of hearts.
