  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Are there prayers I can make against divorce in my marriage? Yes, there was some verbal abuse, but I don't think God would want it. I at least want to give it a shot.
oh Kate,we can believe together. Where more than one are gathered in His name.

Father God we lift this situation up to you. Marriage is sometimes so hard Lord. Help them to have peace in their marriage.

Numbers 30:2 says a man who makes a vow to the Lord or makes a pledge under oath must never break it. he must do exactly what he said he would do.
It takes both to work at a marriage. Let God help you.
praying for you!!

KGirl,

Sweetie, let me just say that I have been where you are. However, sometimes what WE think God wants is not really what He truly wants. I am no longer with my ex-hubby and for good reason. Sometimes the Lord pulls us out of situations that we need not be in. I'm not however saying that this is the case. I'm just saying this...

Let God show you and guide you where He wants you to go. Don't assume that He doesn't want you out of this marriage. Pour your heart out to Him and let him truly take control of the situation. If He feels that you need to be out, it will be very plain to you and you will know in your heart that it is the best choice. We all know that through Christ, all things are possible.

I will just pray that God's will is done in this situation and that He shows you what needs to be done. May He grant hsi peace over you and your marriage, and may His will be done. God bless you. I really am praying for the best.

Side note: I know that it hurts you to think of the relationship ending. You do have to think about what is best for you too though. If there is verbal abuse involved - do you want to stay in that until it gets worse? No one deserves that. Just keep praying that if God's will is to stay, that He will touch your husband's heart and heal what has been taken away by the Devil. :prayer:

I know God gave me a peace about getting married to him. Do you think it was suppose to be, but since we got married shortly after, that we messed it up? I don't get it. I can't do this. I can't live without him, but if I'm logical, he doesn't even have alot of the same beliefs I have. He obviously doesn't see the importance of a vow. You don't just make a vow to later say "Well, um, crud happends!".. ok so he didn't say that exaxctly, but ya get the point.
Maybe I screwed it up. I kept being unfaithful, at least in my mind. I did screw up and kiss a guy on the cheek. I didn't know it was cheating, but I guess deep down it seemed wrong even before I knew, because of the feelings involved.
He also did something similarly wrong.
So, as minor as the incidents seem, there's abuse, infidelity.. Yep, looks like a wonderful start. I still don't think separating's the answer.

Sweetie, don't beat yourself up over this. Absolutely do not blame yourself for things either. I know that's easy to do, and I still struggle with that sometimes. However, sometimes relationships are not meant to be, no matter how much they appear to be when we get in to them. Same thing happened to me.

As for kissing a guy on the cheek. I would not call that cheating whatsoever. Unless the intent was to have relations with him outside of your marriage. Which it doesn't sound like was the case. Otherwise it would have probably gone a lot further.

It is, as you mentioned, extremely important to have the same general values in order to make a marriage, or even just a relationship successful. Have you ever felt that being married to your husband has kept you more distanced from God? If so, this is not what He wants for you. Could also be the reason for the tugging on your heart about this whole situation.

It is very possible for two people to mess up what was a good thing. My only concern is that since you do have different values from each other...that it wasn't destined to be right from the beginning. Basically what I feel is this: If it were just a case of your husband not being a believer...I would say, refer to:

[bible]1 Corinthians 7:13-16[/bible]

It just seems like there is so much involved. For now, if you feel that your heart wants you to stay...then follow your heart. Just make sure that God is the center (which I have no doubt that He is) and let him show you what is right. I know this is really tough for you, but it's not over honey. If God wants you and your husband to be together, you most definitely will be. The Devil can not take that away. Hold strong in Him and everything will be ok. If you need someone to talk to, and would like to talk to me, do not hesitate to send a PM. Ok? My prayers are still with you and your marriage. :hug:
