TROUBLE MARRIAGE: PLEASE AGREE WITH ME IN PRAYERS AGAINST DIVORCE

Found out that my husband from 4 years has been seeing another woman. When he was approached, he decided to move out ( he said he is moving out in two weeks and he wants a divorce). I am pleading with him for us to seek counseling and he said no. We have young boys 1 and 3 years old. We are both Christian but my husband stopped going to church and he started drinking heavily and sleeping out. Please pray for healing and for God to restore my marriage.

Our mortgage was going on three month been late, my husband moved out and started a new life with his ex that treated him like trash.His ex left him for another woman and now he started seeing her again. I finally took courage and filed for Divorce, he agreed to pay the mortgage and all the bills until we go to court in 30 days. My heart is heavy, I feel like my life is falling right before me. I need strength, I feel all alone. Why is this happening to me? I feel like I am praying and my prayers are going unanswered. I miss and love my husband so much. I don't know what to do. Please prayer warriors, pray for me and my two young boys Chad and Steven. Only God can save my marriage, if it is his will.

Update - 2 months ago:

I am feeling very down today, my husband is refusing to pay our house payment and said we should let the house go into foreclosure. I want to take him to court but I will have to file for divorce because the state of Georgia does not recognize separation. I do not want to divorce my husband. Please pray that God will guide me in what I should do. I am so confuse right now.

! Peter 3:7
7Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
1 Peter 3:1,2
1Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; 2While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.
Ezekiel 11:19
19And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
Jeremiah 24:7
7And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.

Dear MG, I hope you are doing good. You know, I am also divorced. It's been 3 years. It is very hard at first. Our problem was there was no communication in our marriage. My ex was not happy and she was sick and tired of being sick and tired. it was a very depressing thing to go through. We built a wall between us to a point that she couldn't reach me and I couldn't reach her. Finally one morning she said she was leaving and she did. It was no surprise to me. Because she would not respond to any affection at all. She wouldn't talk. And it was just very painful to be together. I guess. I didn't want to give her a divorce at first because I was reared to think that is was sinful. But when I saw that she was not coming back, I finally gave in. I didn't contest the divorce. But it is painful. To me the most painful part was my children. They were devestated and that devestated me. So for a long time I was kind of like in denial that it had affected me that much. But it did, I finally came to confess that it was one of the most damaging things that ever happened to me. The kids , they tried to convince her to come back but she became a very bitter person. Now I don't want her back if she does not change. I want the woman i loved back. Not this new bitter one. I have prayed for her and I still do. But it is for her sake. Not mine. I am better of without her now. So, sometimes I think that the Lord permits such things for the good of all. In the long run. ...So I hope that you can understand something from my story. I know that it hurt and all but we have to see the why. Will it benefit our children and us? Is it worth the grief and the mourning we go through. I think now that it is not. We must get it over with and go on. We have no other choice. I have accepted it. Now all I have is my children and Our Lord. I have grown more now than I ever did when we were together. In my case it was not meant to be. But in your, only you can know the answer to that. Love does not work on a one way basis. It has to be together 100% on both sides. Thats where we went wrong......I pray that God guide you and help you to understand what would be better for you and you boys. You have laws of the land on your side to get income for you and your kids.
................Almighty God and Father I pray today for MG and her children. help her to understand and help her Lord to get back with her husband if it is your will to do so. Help her in the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. AMEN!!

Lord I pray that if it is Your will that this marriage be restored. That the temptation this man fell for is removed and the love and harmony that was is restored. I pray that You surround these young boys with Your love. They are young and can't understand what is going on. I pray that You are with this woman and surround her with Your love. That You guide her in what to do, and show her the path to what is right for her. In Jesus Name I pray, Amen.

Heavenly Father only you know why things happen the way they do and why people sometimes completely abandon integrity and turn on the ones that are supposed to be not only their partners in life, but part of them. Father we come against this spirit in the name of Jesus and turn these people over to you. Father let them see. Open theit eyes to what they are doing and bring them back to a spirit of selflessness, love and honor. Father we know you are against divorce and we know that you can repair what has been torn and replace all that has been lost. In the name of Jesus. Thank you Lord for your goodness and mercy.

I am going through the same thing.I will pray for you too.Sometimes we never get the answers we need to go on when every breath our husbands take its no good deed behind it ,the first mistake is to allow satan to us him for his will,satan got my husband too.he tricked him like it was ok to move from home and have as many woman as he choose! He is drinking heavily,using drugs & everything else but seeking god & what he told him to do in his word.read galatians 5:10-26,god is telling us that we can get in the kingdom doing these ungodly things.My heart is so heavy knowing that my god loving husband will stop going to church & throw everything i thought he believed in away for desires of the flesh.He took me out to easter dinner yesterday,he did everything in his power to upset me called me nasty names cursed me out,trying to justify his plans to spend easter night with his woman.He left me walking and spent his night with this woman.All i did was prayed for him i am very upset.but i got to be lead by gods spirit to stay strong and not do anything foolish.I really want to pray with you and for you.find me at@ missraesteph@bellsouth.net
