Preachers are not weapons…
A woman calls me and basically says, “My husband is doing something I don’t like. Can you preach a sermon about it?” I’m thinking, “Um, no.” Have you ever had people try to get you to solve their issues with other people in the pulpit? It is disgusting, isn’t it?

No, I have not been so “fortunate.” I am glad.

Several years ago, I did have a young wife request a sermon from 1 Peter 3:7 (her husband is also a Christian–both great people). I accommodated the request, but did not feel “used” as a weapon. I think she was sincerely trying, submissively, to help mold her husband’s character for the better. It sounds a little different than the case you mentioned.
