I thank you for your post, sacerdote. My current Pastor has advised that I pray for my (soon to be ex) husband. Especially at those times when he intentionally provokes me, when he is irresponsible as a father, when he purposely shirks his financial obligation as a parent. I pray that he becomes...

The Bible also says, "You will know them by their fruits" in Matthew 7. I believe I would have first hand knowledge of whether or not my husband produced any fruits to liken him to a believer.

So it's better to be the wife of an addicted gambler than to leave him and bank on a new husband?.... Let me just say that I am not looking for a new husband AT ALL. I can't imagine ALLOWING him to put his family second/third/last to his addiction any longer. Our son was 3 weeks old, and we...

I appreciate the additional explanation, Gottservant. I am the original poster and was not sure what your reply meant for me. I need to add that my husband was the one who ultimately left me and our home. It was a familiar game of manipulation that I had had enough of. I did not wish to...

Thank you for your response, Dayhiker, I am in agreement with you that my husband is not truly saved. I feel such regret for him. That he does not know Jesus like I do. To date, he still refuses to sign the separation documents he requested and he even said our Pastor told him not to sign them...

I understand where you are coming from. I have a peace within me, that I have to give it all to God. That calms my spirit. The antics, however, from the husband really work my nerves to say the least. I know God has better for me! I pity my husband that he is this way and that he doesnt...

Hello, I am new to this forum. I stumbled across it while looking for scriptural information concering Christian separation and divorce. My husband and I have been separated for 2 months now. While a weight has been lifted - I no longer have to deal with the gambling, the accusations, the...
