I agree, but God uses many ways to accomplish His will. If I had cancer I would pray and certainly understand its in Gods hands. I would also seek medical help and pray God could work through the Dr.

I hope her family are not opposed to our reconciliation. I would of thought somebody would of replied they are praying for our marriage. O well, I will pray they can also submit to Gods desire for marriage. I know some of them have seen her suffering and only want her to be happy.

I have been through many revealing periods in this affliction. I spent to much time asking God why, and feeling like a victim. I can confidently now say God has allowed this for my good. He has shown me the victim is my wife who fell for the lies of the evil one. I pray the Lord will open her...

It is going to take some investigating to find out about the other man. All I know is his first name and where he goes to walk. I wasn't even sure if he was married until I asked my wife if his wife knows. She said she does know about them. I don't believe her because they probably wouldn't...

I have been emailing people close to My wife. I have been requesting prayer for her in her backsliden state and I also let them know I have lost no love for her, and am seeking God in saving our marriage. I understand this is probably not go over well with my wife at this time. Next week I plan...

I have not sought any legal advice. I am in California and know she is intitled to half of everything, including my pension. She has not worked for 24 years, but she said she dosn't want alimony. She has said she would like to not use lawyers, but our communication is so messed up right now I...

Yes again very thought provoking. I know I am very concerned for her future. The thoughts of my future is like a fog I feel completely unsure of it. I know my wife is not in control of it. I know God is in control of my future my heath and my security. Thanks

I was layed off work 9 weeks ago. I am only 56, but have my 30 years in the carpenters union. I really am unsure of what I am going to do. Retirement will require moving out of the expensive area I am. I told Celeste I would continue to work if she wants to come back, but she says I should...

I appreciate your prayers. You are right we had been growing apart. My job took most of my time and the time I had when I got home my wife didn't seem to want. I believe she didn't start the relationship thinking it would lead her to adultery. I realize a big part of her sin was a direct result...

Thank you very good reminder. Hebrews 4:16 Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

I really appreciate all the advice I have received here. The comfort I find in God listening to his saints lifting prayers to his thrown room of grace for my wife is very reassuring. There is a great freedom when you understand it's in God's hands. I seem to go days feeling this peace. I also...

I steped down awhile back because of health issues with a family member, and time constants.

Yes, I understand only God can soften her heart and make it receptive to his call, but I feel a responsibility to make sure I am doing what God calls me to do in reaching her.

God's grace is a powerful thing, and I know there is no way I could feel like this if I didn't understand how much God has forgiven me. I pray some how God is glorified through this. If my wife hears well done good and faithful servant when she stands before the Lord, I know I will be so...

Thanks, I am not sure why I am blaming myself. I was a elder for a period of time and I understand part of the requirements were based on your family's walk. I feel her failure to turn to God was some how my failure in leading her to Him.

I wasn't aware I was condemning her, but I will pray about it. I know the verse you referred to above I quoted many times to her when I reassured her I could forgive her. I wish she could go and sin no more.

I understand I am not responsible for her sin. I do feel like a failure as her spiritual leader. I am struggling with not recognizing her desperation and getting help sooner. I have been trying to take care of myself, but know I have some mild depression I should seek some more help then my...

I have been meeting with my pastor every week. He always gives me encouragement. Yesterday after meeting with Celeste I called her new pastor and let him know what we are going through. I requested prayer and asked him to look for opportunities to offer spiritual guidance. I asked for him to...

It really upset me yesterday seeing her so upset crying hugging and telling me she wants a divorce. I feel I acted on emotions yesterday, and the time frame I placed was likely the wrong thing to do. God has given me a surprising amount patience, peace, and trust. I am surprised up to this...
