Am I wrong ?

[TheLeftOneMiccy]

Just looking for some opinions here , look forward to reading your ideas on this .

I know that technically ,being married to a non believer that has left I am to let him go and live in peace . However , I still pray for Him to be saved , and for the future restoration of my marriage .

I am living each day , and praying for Gods will to be done in my life and the strength to accept whatever that is .

Do you think its ok to still want my marriage to be restored ?

Thank for reading and hopefully responding

It is ALWAYS good to want to restore a marriage! This would be the great hand of God working in him to turn his heart. And it can be done. TRUST ME!!

I guess it's ok... may not be healthy though.

if you didnt want your marriage to be restored, I'd think something is wrong with you!
I dont read anywhere in scripture to just move on when you still have a desire for marriage. 1 Cor 7 says "let him depart", because you are not under bondage in such cases, never does it say "get over it".
Marriage is important, God loves it! It makes life worth living, having someone to walk with you.
Keep living your life as Christ-like as you can. Doing right by yourself, may (and I pray for you) bring things back to you. Hopefully one day, even turning the unbeliever into a believer. Thats what Pauls getting at.

Rom 8v28 "We know that all things work together for good to THEM THAT LOVE GOD"

Good luck and God Bless

Thanks for the responses and the prayers . I appreciate them . I am just trying to live my life right and get things together for me and the kids . From there it is in Gods control what happens in my life . Yes I love my husband , and Yes Id like for him to be the one The Lord wants me to be with . I also want to do whatever is according to His will . So I will stand in wait after I have done all that I need to each day .

God Bless you all

TLOMiccy,

As a Christian, we tend to be optimistic. We want to believe the best in people, and we want to see the good in all. As a result of that faith that we have from God, when life 'happens,' and we are faced with the realization that sometimes, people do wrong things, we are brought down. As a Christian, we always tend to want things to work out, and want those we know to be saved. I do pray for the STBX's salvation, and that she get it together for the kids. However, I know that the good Lord has given us all the ability to have a free will. In that light, I knew early on that she would not be willing to reconcile, especially when she continues to deny any fault in the destruction of the marriage, or any illicit affair. No, you are not wrong in hoping for that, it is something that every good Christian would want. And who knows, there might be a chance for you in yours...just remembere to put it all in God's hands.

God bless,

5kd

I think it's a good thing to pray over. If you have kids, focusing on them would be ideal right now anyway - so it's not like not dating is unhealthy. I rarely date, actually - and I'm fully healed from my divorce. Just be prepared to be able to accept it if your ex moves on without you. That wouldn't mean you would have to stop praying for his salvation, tho. I pray for my ex - but my prayers now are more for him to be able to improve his relationship with the boys. His own father-son relationship with his dad wasn't the most stellar example.

Well, are you married to him or not? If not it seems that he has not truly chosen to "depart". If he has departed ie divorced then you are not to remarry him because God is against us becoming yoked with unbelievers. Two wrongs will never make a right.

FLNG I completely understand what youa re saying
iambren I am still married to him , but we are seperated .
