Prayer Request - Christian Woman with Troubled Marriage

by Donna
(Texas)

Donna is new to the Christian women's Bible study group. She has a prayer request for a troubled marriage. Let's give her our prayers and encouragement:

I am 42 years old. About 2 weeks ago, my husband said he loved me, but wasn't "in love" with me anymore. He moved out of our home, saying it is temporary, but really won't talk with me about any problems.

He has been drinking too much, but not abusive toward me or my kids. We have 3 daughters, ages 17,11, & 9. The two youngest are, of course, taking it the hardest.

I found out from a "friend" that he is seeing someone, but I honestly don't know how long, or serious it is. He told me Saturday that he wants to work on our problems, but still doesn't know what he wants.

I am focusing on my girls and myself, I am still being respectful, and honoring my marriage, but I am not pushing him. I am simply praying for God's will. I think HE is dealing with him, but my husband is resisting in a mighty way. I am not sure if he is saved, but he has told me he is.

I am believing that God can and will do a mighty work in our marriage. I was having quite a hard time with it, but now I have given it over to God. I cannot do it, I cannot save it, or him. I am going to be still and let the Lord fight for me.

Please pray for me and my family.

Other things Donna would like to discuss with the group:
Anything Bible related. I am trying to study my Bible in earnest, and I just thought joining a group would make it easier.

There is hope
by: Patricia

My husband told me the exact same thing I love you but not like a husband should love his wife. Just today he had me sign separation and divorce papers and get this it was at a bank who notorized the documents at no cost. I signed through tears but I am still praying for restoration. I have been praying hard since he told me on Thaksgiving. We were very happy and have 2 homes and this came out of nowhere. I have submitted myself to God and walk daily with Him or I would not have made it this many months. He lives in our other property. Only God can breathe life into our dead marriages and we must continually seek Him and lay our burdens at the cross. I pray for your marriage to be restored.

My Sister Too
by: Darla

My Brother-in-Law told my sister the same thing in May. We found out when they started to announce a divorce to us all in June. We are spread across the country, but we all jumped in with both feet and made personal visits and began to hold his feet lovingly to the fire. My brother-in-law IS saved, and so we had that to lead from. Praise God they are going to counseling and are working hard at this. Fortunately, there was no one else involved, but it's still very hard. They're talking like they've never talked before. Let you family or his jump in and talk turkey with him, as lovingly as possible.

Also, my sister said the book "Marriage on the Rock" has been a GREAT help to her and my brother-in-law is noticing changes she's made. Maybe it could help you.

And please don't discount the pain of your 17-yr old. She won't show it as much as the younger ones, but it's a life crisis for her too, believe me. My nieces are 25, 21 and 19 and it's has been devastating to them. Get someone she trusts to take her for a snack and talk!

I'll be adding you to our prayers alongside my sister's marriage.

My husbands salvation
by: Anonymous

My husband & I have been together 7 1/2 years, married just Dec 2007, Memorial day 2008 he says he wants a divorce, I nag, he wants single life, do what he wants when he wants. Been really cold, I still live there, he agreed to not see lawyer till after Labor Day, agreed to legal 1 yr separation instead of straight for divorce, I am now not 100% convinced there's not another woman. My prayer is

"LORD I'M PRAYING THAT YOU CONVICT STEVEN'S HEART OF HIS SIN, PLEASE ALLOW HIM TO FEEL ALL THE GUILT FULL FORCE, SO MUCH SO HE CAN'T REST AT ALL. PLEASE GIVE HIM A HEART OF REMORSE AND THE COURAGE TO ADMIT TO ME AND CONFESS TO YOU. LORD I ASK THAT YOU KEEP ME STRONG, PATIENT, LORD I AM HANDING YOU OVER MYSELF, MY HUSBAND MY MARRIAGE. LORD STEVEN IS BEING SO NOT THE MAN I'VE KNOW FOR 7 1/2 yrs PLEASE DO A MIGHT WORK HERE. I'M NOT EVEN ANGRY LORD JUST HURT, CONFUSED, SAD. I ALREADY FORGIVE HIM FOR WHAT HE KNOWS NOT WHAT HE'S DOING. LORD PLS RELEASE THE STRONGHOLD OF THE ENEMY, I PRAY YOUR LIGHT BURN SO BRIGHTLY THROUGH STEVEN'S BLINDNESS. I PRAY FOR STEVEN'S SALVATION. I PRAY LORD THAT YOU RESURFACE STEVEN'S LOVE FOR ME. I DESIRE HIS SALVATION & MY MARRIAGE RESTORED. IN JESUS NAME AMEN"

marriage problem
by: michelle

I have been married over 30 years. My husband will not communicate with me. We have two teenage girls who he says he cannot hug or tell them that he loves them to them. He told me that he was saved before we met. Many times I wanted to leave because why stay where I am not wanted or needed. I have been making him breakfast for years. Now he doesn't want me to do that for him. He is slowly doing everything for hisself. I know your probably thinking sit back and enjoy but it is not like that he is angry inside. He never smiles. It is like living with a stranger. Please pray for me and my husband that our marriage will be restored.

I am praying for your marriage...
by: Ameerah

Hi Donna,

I am so glad that you have found the Christian woman's Bible Study Group! I pray that it is a blessing in your life and that it helps to to "study the Bible in earnest" as you have said you want to.

When I first read your post, this specific book is what came to my mind: Save Your Christian Marriage. I do not know if it could help you, but it comes with free email consultations so that you can ask questions specific to your own marriage, so I figured it was at least worth passing along.

Feel free to jump right into the group and start using the free women's Bible lessons. You can answer the reflection questions right from the lessons by typing them into the "answer here" box, and they will be automatically added to the Bible study group.

God Bless!
Ameerah
