My marriage

My husband of 18 years walked out on me April 1 2011 with no explanation as to why, other than, "I'm not in love with you & haven't been for some time. I was only playing along for the sake of the kids & that isn't working anymore" I found out a week later that he & my best friend have been texting each other for about a month. When I asked her what their conversations were about she said about the school board he was running for & a game they were playing on their phones. I find that hard to believe considering the amount of text messages were about 50-80 a day. She said nothing physical happened between them & that she was unaware of his feeling for her until he told her in a text message. I found out in my daughters counseling session last week that a week before he left he went to her work & told her, "I'm leaving your mom I can't do it anymore" We have had problems with his lack of sexual desire for some time. During a routine physical in January our doctor was going on some complaints & symptom check list & sexual desire was listed so she ordered a blood test & found that he has a very low testosterone (normal functional low is about 266 he was 76) So he was prescribed testosterone shots bi weekly everything was going fine or so I thought! Then about mid March his dose was doubled & a week later he walked out. Our children are 18, 16, 13 & 7. Our oldest son joined the Air Force & left in December they are all having a hard time adjusting. At this point he isn't talking to me & is very infrequently seeing the kids. They are now very angry with him because his lack of interest in them & that he hasn't given me any money in over a month. We are behind in everything! I know God will provide. Please pray for our family, my husband & myself. I have been taking it day by day & I can't stand myself on the days when I do nothing but cry! I love my husband & desperately want him to at least consider counseling.

stand on God's word

I know too well the pain you feel. My husband had walked out on me after 16 yrs. I didn't see it coming. One day I came home from work and all his things were gone. It is 3 yrs later now and we are back together for almost 2 yrs now. I have forgiven him but the devil will always try to put a thought into my head to get me to think about some of the things that my husband said to me at that time. I love my husband and I have to pray for God to take away those thoughts when they arise because I don't want to give the devil a foothold in my marriage. I will tell you what I learned from all my pain & suffering. God is the only one who can truly love me. He will never leave me or lie to me or ridicule me. He loves me always. God is not a liar. His word is truth. It is ok for you to cry out to him. He sees every teardrop. Search the word for scriptures concerning marriage. Read them aloud to yourself so they get into your spirit. Read them aloud even if you are crying. Sounds crazy but God's word is truth. He says his grace is sufficient. He has your back. He loves your husband just as he loves you. you pray for your husband to hear Gods voice alone. Pray for the other woman because she needs God also. God doesn;t want us to hold any hatred in our hearts for anyone even those who purposely hurt us. I will keep you in my prayers. don't look at what you see look at what God says. Stay in the word. Love your Sister in CHrist

I stand with you for restoration
by: Anonymous

I pray with you for the restoration of your marriage. The devil is so busy trying to destroy families and turn us away from our SAVIOR. I pray for spiritual eyes, ears and minds to be opened by our LORD and for hearts of stone turned into hearts of flesh. Trust & believe even when things seem impossible. Pray for your children to be held by the LORD and for soul salvation. Pray for your own relationship growth with the LORD because HE needs us to concentrate on HIM during this period as HE works on our spouses during this trial. Lets pray together as my husband is in need of healing from the LORD as well as he wants to leave our 31 year marriage for another woman. We have all made mistakes & must confess them to the LORD & repent. Stay strong & trust in OUR GOD, in JESUS name.

Awesome Prayer
by: Anonymous

Lord, I come to You in praise and thanksgiving for who You are. I will extol You at all times; Your praise will always be on my lips. You are faithful to all Your promises. Thank You, Lord that You are turning the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers this month of June. I pray that _____ as a father has compassion on his children, as the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.

Blessed is my husband who always fears the Lord, but _____ who hardens his heart falls into trouble. Lord, You called _____ to be free. Therefore, do not let sin reign in my husband?s mortal body so that _____ obeys its evil desires. I pray that _____ will not use his freedom to indulge in the sinful nature; rather, _____ will serve others in love. My prayer is that _____ will live by the Spirit, and he will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that _____ does not do what he wants. Guard my husband?s life and rescue _____; let him not be put to shame, for he will take refuge in You. May integrity and uprightness protect my husband, because my hope is in You. From the Lord comes deliverance for _____. May Your blessings be on my husband today. Selah

I am confident of this, that He who began a good work in my husband and our family will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Lord, I have not stopped praying for my beloved husband asking You to fill him up with the knowledge of Your will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.

Lord, Your Word says that blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But my husband?s delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law _____ meditates day and night. _____ is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever _____ does prospers.

Thank You that You have rescued _____ from the dominion of darkness and You are bringing him into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom he has redemption, the forgiveness of sins. I pray that out of Your glorious riches You may strengthen ______ with power through Your Spirit in his inner being so that Christ may dwell in _____?s heart through faith. I pray that You will make _____ to be made new in the attitude of his mind, and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. I pray that _____ as a father will not exasperate his children but instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. I pray that my husband will love me, his wife as he loves himself, and I pray that I will respect my husband.
