    Husband had emotional affair

    You have some decisions to make before you proceed with any action. You need to pray and ask God to guide you. Without question, God is on your side. You don't deserve this treatment, it is betrayal and beyond explanation. Exclude her and focus on him. This is all him. He's married, has a...

    Wife surprised me with Separation

    Vinsight4u, I do appreciate your correspondence. I appreciate your inquisitive nature as well. As to the knowing whether or now God directed me to organize a force of prayer warriors, I am His sheep, I know His voice, and I follow Him. I have been walking with the Lord for 34 years as a...

    20 years of rejection in marriage I cannot commit to this life sentence any more

    Have you initiated sex talk with him to see what turns him on? Have you tried waking him up sexually? Have you massaged him and allowed it to advance from there? Have you two gone to counseling? If not, that's something that needs to happen and you should not take no for an answer...just...

    Wife surprised me with Separation

    I'm doing better, thank you for checking in on me. My weight loss has stopped and stablized. I've even gained 2 lbs over the last week or so. I have some good days, and then it all falls apart sometimes at night. The timing of this is aweful. I agree that it's been building, but she's a...

    Wife surprised me with Separation

    Hi, My wife was an Air Force brat and was raised on military bases many of them over seas in Europe. However, her family was/is a church-going family. She has always been familiar with the ministry and a wife's role in it. However, she had never been in that role herself. When we got married...

    Wife surprised me with Separation

    Hi, Thank you for checking in. I'm doing ok. I'm improving by the day. Your advice was very hard and was advanced for me. Over the past month, I've gotten near the place I need to be to follow your advice. It's been a daily whirlwind and I'm growing downward so that Christ can be lifted in...

    Prayer for marital reconciliation

    Thank you. God actually rebuked me last week for how I was praying for my wife. I wanted justice and in my pain I asked for it...not for her, but for her friend who I believe to be a source of our problems...God told me I should love who she loves...I should pray for mercy for my wife and her...

    UPDATE: http://www.christianforums.com/threads/wife-surprised-me-with-separation.7978532

    Greg J, Thank you. You pointed out some things that I have not given proper attention to, and have only seen from a certain perspective. From you post I commit to surrendering my false expectations to God. That has been the most difficult thing for me to deal with, and has only caused me...

    Wife surprised me with Separation

    Hi Dayhiker, I appreciate the time and thoughtfulness that you put into this message. You don't know all the facts, but you gave some very helpful advice. Although my wife married young, she didn't miss out on any of the struggles of advancing in career and education. We were poor and started...

    Husband had emotional affair

    I'm so sorry that you are hurting. Especially in this way. I, like all others who have commented, will assure you that God is not happy with your husband's unfaithfulness. That being said, I'll get to the heart of the matter and try to be as brief as possible. I know that you love your...

    UPDATE: http://www.christianforums.com/threads/wife-surprised-me-with-separation.7978532

    My wife still comes in to pick up the kids for school and drop them off after they get out. She still sticks around to help our youngest with homework, cooks and washes clothes from time to time. We laugh and talk. She's still adamant about divorce. I discovered that the lady that she's...

    Prayer for marital reconciliation

    It's been over one month now since my wife left me and our kids. I've been led to initiate a prayer campaign that has been going on for 2 weeks now. I need some who are willing to step into the gap to pray with me and for me and my wife over the next week. Men ought always pray. We should...
