a prayer for my wife, my children and my marriage.

[fishbyte]

My wife has recently filed for divorce. My children will be devistated and scarred for life by her decision.

I ask for prayers that she consider a reconcilliation.

She is the absolute love of my life.

She has made some phenomenally bad choices recently which have provoked her decision. I believe Satan has her in his grasp.

I ask that you pray as well for her well-being and her safety in this time of crisis.

I love this woman with all my heart. I know god loves her too, she loves god and was baptised just over a year ago.

The love you have for your wife and family just radiates through this post. :hearton: Please try everything possible to reconcile this marriage. Any bad decisions your wife has made can be forgiven and turned into positives to strengthen your bond.

Have you had any counseling through the family ministry at your church or any other Christian support groups? Maybe a meeting with someone you both trust like the pastor who Baptized your wife would help. Please leave no stone unturned, fishbyte.

Praying that the broken parts of your marriage would be mended and the love that brought you together and created your family is renewed through Christ our Lord. :pray:

I convinced her to attend a marriage counseling session, unfortunately it was a disaster and caused more harm than good.

I personally have been involved with groups at church and have found some of my best and most wise friends there. She has not attended church for going on two months.

I cannot and will not give up. I trust the Lords design and will be faithful to it.

Fishbyte, your family is in my prayers.

May I offer to you a bit of "earthly" practical advice my friend.....

Put ALL of your energy into your relationship with God right now. Seek a new and higher understanding from him away from all your hurt and pain. I believe a lot of spouses see a mate that so desperately wants to stay together, as a weak thing, only to be used and respected less. A bad position to find oneself when trying to negotiate terms.

I am NOT saying to abandon your hope, just give it to the Lord, don't beg or plead with her. And of course, don't ladle the blame on her, nor use your children in this matter for leverage. The results will be devastating.

Be strong in the Lord, now is the time to put your faith to test my friend.

I will pray for both of you and the Children.
The way I see it there is always 2 sides to the story, and it is natural for us to tell our side of the story in a way that puts us in the best light, and we can do this with out telling a lie. You just might reflect on your roll in this marriage and see if there is any fault on your side and deal with your short comings first if there is any.

Amen Brother! Hang in there! :angel: :applause:

Every effort should be made at reconciliation and forgiveness. This for your sake, your wife's sake, your children's sake, but most of all for the glory of God. This is a case where we forget about our own pride and ego and submit to the Will of God. There are many hearts at stake here. :hearton:

Praying for all of your family. Blessings Dh. :flowered:

Here's some Biblical text on this issue:

All the synoptic Gospel passages (including Luke 16:18) agree: divorce is a great evil and contrary to the will of God. That it happens is another matter. And when it happens, it is assumed that remarriage follows (as in Deuteronomy 24, which underlies Matthew 19 and Mark 10). Divorce and remarriage are of one piece, and when Jesus condemns divorce, remarriage also falls under the cloud of adultery (Mark 10:11; Luke 16:18). The question now is: does the gospel offer hope to people whose marriage has failed?

The Pauline texts: In keeping with Old Testament thought and Jesus’ teachings, Paul holds to the permanence of marriage. To the Romans he writes that a woman “will be called an adultress if she lives with another man while her hushand is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from the law, and if she marries another man, she is not an adultress” (Romans 7:3). He writes to the Corinthians in a similar fashion (cf. 1 Corinthians 7).

Earlier in 1 Corinthians 7 he affirms that marriage is for life, although he realizes that marriages do break down. “The wife should not separate from the husband (but if she does separate, let her remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her hushand), and the husband should not divorce his wife” (1 Corinthians 7:10,11). Paul assumes a situation in which reconciliation is still possible; he does not say explicitly what a person should do when this is no longer possible.

I finished reading this wonderful book called The Five Love Languages How to express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate by: Gary Chapman.

This book has changed my life with my husband and I. I learned how to speak his Love Languages which is Words of Affromation and Mine is Acts of Service. It also has a section that talks about loving the unloving. It also has a good section on what our childrens Love Languages are.
If you could pick up this book at and Christian supply store or Maybe a Barns and Noble.

Or go online and look up the other and go to his web site.

I will be praying for you and your Family.

[Grantspastor]

I'll pray too

Fishbyte... I say this all out of love for you, your wife and for thoes little hearts that will soon be broken.

We have ALL sinned and come short of Gods glory and when you have two sinnersthat come together, reguardless wether they are Christians or not, Satan will not rest untill he sees your marriage broken and torn apart, For one reason and one reason only, God created it!

I will pray for you and all thoes that will be very badly hurt and Fishbyte pray, fast, and pray again and you will have support from all thoes that read your cry for help, Not that one wins or looses, but that you both win and become one with each other again, in Christ name!

I dont mean to be brash on here I truly do this out of love for you two and your children...Lord Bless

[fishbyte]

Thank you all for your prayers and wishes.

It is true DAB that there is two sides. I have not been the best husband, but I have not been the worst. I have been very forthcoming with my wife admiting my faults, asking for forgiveness and working diligently to make positive changes in my life.

I can only do so much. It does take two.
