Broken: marriage
I'm sorry. Ro 1:31, 2 Thess 2:3 (Second Coming not Rapture), 2 Ti 3:3
The Lord will be her faithful
bridegroom (Jer 31:3, Re 19:11). Her husband is in big trouble, however (Ps
34:16, Ro
14:12). When he faces a holy God without his אִשָּׁה [ʾishshah'] (fire of life)
[Mal 2:5, 16, Heb 10:31, 12:29, 13:4, 1Pe 3:7], he is left with only a consuming
fire.
Good luck with that.
She will be rewarded for her faithfulness (Ru 1:14–18,
1 Pe 1:16, 1 Jn3:14, Re 20:6). The Lord remains in her covenant (Rom. 7:2, 3, Mt
19:11).
I've never married and am very happy.
In this culture—not a bad idea
(Jer 16:2).
Walk with the Lord. He is a great
companion, and he shows us the way to happiness, every day.
Yes. Stay off social media (not
here—your brethren in the Lord love you [1 Jn 3:14]). Guard your heart (Pr
4:23). Maybe
listen to
the Psalms through the night?

Thank you. Today has been very hard. Just keep praying.
Praying for you.
Hello Momof2 - God is still in
control and He still loves you more than I can put into words even. He has
plans for you, plans to prosper you and not harm you. Plans to give you hope
and a future. This is an understandably horrific moment, but God promises He
will keep us from falling; this too will pass. and in the days ahead, He
will establish your steps. So, this is a crossroads, and I don't know the
whole story so there may still be hope, only God would know that. But
suffice it to say, we welcome you here and we want to encourage and comfort
you during this difficult time. My empathy is with you. I went thru a 29
year marriage that she wanted to trade in for worldly endeavors...(3 boy's).
"Father, You are the God of miracles and have the power to heal all wounds.
Lord, I ask You to be Momof2's refuge right now, as she enters a crossroads
of emotions, I pray you will direct her closer and not further from You,
build her perseverance so that she will have a forged Character loving You
all the more, and showing the world Your glory thru answered prayers for her
situation.
Lord, comfort her and remind her of Your deep unyielding love for her that
will guide and direct her thru this time of hardship. We, as her family in
Christ, offer our prayers for her because we love her as well, as a sibling,
and child of God. Be with her in the things to come Lord, and regardless of
the road ahead help her to sit in Your rest first before walking thru the
wall. Hold her hand and keep her from harm, we claim Your promise.... in
Jesus name, AMEN!"
We are all here if you need us. There are prayer threads as well, and other
counseling tools to help, try to search out those tools and if you need
anything let us know ok?, we want to help if we can. My name is Dan and it
has been a pleasure to meet you. I pray God will give you rest as you go to
Him for rest.
That's a prayer God's going to
hear (Mt 5:44, Heb 12:15).
He may not know it, but he still needs you (Ac 7:60, Ro 10:1–4). If you are not
reconciled, I hope that you will one day be able to call him brother (Mt 22:30).
"When you became a Christian,
you cried your last tear alone." Ps 56:8 ~ Charles Stanley
No matter what happens, because you
have children with this man, your lives will be tied together.
You have not said how old they are, but even if they are teens,
you are still both parents of those kids, and they still need
guidance and direction through life, and will always look to
their parents as some kind of role model.
The husband is not a proper role model for children
having abandoned his wife. Don't treat the criminal the same as the victim. Mal
2:14, Mt 18
He donated sperm. Being a dad
means loving his children's mother (Mt 19:6, Eph. 5:25–33). Her children need to
judge rightly now (Mt 18, Heb 13:4).
