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.

Built upon Sand
Thank you for this study & a place to anonymously express our pain, hurt, loneliness. It is hard for me to write these words, but the truth is, I need to. I have been in a prison for far too long & don't know what to do. I have been married for almost 20 years. I should be happy, but am not. I feel lonely, hurt, isolated & depressed. I have a husband that says he loves me. Yet, I have never really felt it. He is distant, avoids me, redirects blame/attacks me for everything. He says he is a Christian, but I don't know. I think he just married me because I was pregnant. It must have seemed like the right thing to do at the time. Our kids are almost grown & our marriage has virtually NO FOUNDATION to stand on. I feel like I have waisted my entire life "doing the right thing" but for the wrong reasons. I have been thinking....two wrongs don't make a right. Getting pregnant, then being unequally yoked with someone. Isn't it time I live free? God did die while we were still sinners, offering us grace....so that we wouldn't have to live in prison. Wasn't it for freedom Christ set us free!? Grateful for any prayers. Hurting, lost, alone!! |

my husband
Please pray for the complete restoration of my marriage. My husband has been unfaithful. Keep him away from this trashy woman that he works with. Allow her to realize she is destroying a marriage and a family. Keep him faithful and true to our marriage. We have been struggling for a long long time and I pray that God will allow Steve to see this is wrong and he needs to work on our marriage. We have a son, who is only 10 and he does not need to be subjected to marriage infidelity or parental infidelity. I want my son to be a good man and not follow his fathers bad behaviours. In Jesus' name. Amen, RS |

REPOST: Bible Study_A Marriage Built to Last
REPOST: Bible Study_A Marriage Built to Last by: Anonymous Hello everyone, After reading the new posts and many of the older posts, I feel that I need to repost this messags, as it is an awesome study on "RELATIONSHIPS & COMMUNICATION". However, it will only help those who are serious about wanting to receive the help and who are willing to take the steps to make it happen. Praying for you all and that each of you will pray about this study and that the Lord will use this to help in each of your situations. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is with great joy and pleasure that I have been blessed to be able to share a very godly and annointed Bible study on marriage. I would like to invite all of you to follow the link and be blessed with encouragement, spiritual wisdom and growth in the Lord for your marriages. Series Description: Many marriages today are under severe strain. And if we're honest with ourselves, most of us can easily identify with this fact. However, is this the kind of relationship that God had in mind when He instituted marriage in the Garden of Eden? Folks, I'm here to tell you that the answer is absolutely not! You see, after Adam and Eve blew it in the garden, they also blew it for the chances of having a perfect marriage. However, that doesn't mean we have to resign ourselves to a life of personal pain and silent suffering. It just means that it's going to take some time and lots of work. Why? Because contrary to popular belief, marriages aren't made in heaven, they're made right here on earth. Therefore, in the light of this truth, A Marriage Built to Last is a series that looks at the 11 steps of having a lasting and fulfilling marriage. Such things as Men & Women are Different, Love is an Action, The Need for Romance, The Need for Communication, The Need for Reconciliation, The Need for Honor, The Need for Intimacy, The Need for Biblical Men, The Need for Biblical Women, and The Need for a Strong Family. Remember, being married doesn't mean your life always has to be filled with personal pain and silent suffering. God never said that it would be easy. He just said it's going to take some time and lots of work. And if we'll just get back to God's plan for marriage, then we're well on our way to having A Marriage Built to Last! Here is the link: May you all be blessed! http://www.niagarafrontierbible.com/sermons/marriage/marriage.php In His service, Vicki "VICTORY" |

me too
Reading all the stories of marriages that are in trouble. I'm in the boat with you. Married 22 years, 2 teen-age sons. We are both Christians but seems like we've never put Christ at the center of our marriage. No physical touch, no intimacy, no good communication. I would tell my friends many things before I would tell them to my husband. I never think of him as my "best friend" like some women describe. I am probably more dissatisfied than he is. THough I'm sure my withdrawl from him makes him wonder why he is here. We have very different educational levels. At first it wasn't a problem...it has become one. I have a lot more education than he does. I've had to do all the discipline of our kids...he doesn't want to upset them. I am so sad and lonely and also depressed because of finances. I had to email my husband to tell him we are in trouble cuz I don't even know how to have a conversation with him about it. Usually I ignore how unhappy I am but when there are finance or kid problems, my marriage issues seem worse and I'm more dismayed...because i want a spouse that is a team with me to deal with it, but that isn't there. |

Prayer for my husband David
Hi Ladies, Wow I just read all the prayer requests and I realized that I am not alone in this. so My husband is saved for seven year off and on relationship with Lord. One of biggest challenge in our marriage is communication. I am deaf and my husband is hearing. He doesn't have desired to sign to me when he talk to people. I am lip-reader and able to talk and sign at the same time. Sometimes I get lonely and not knowing what they says while my husband talk. He just ignored me all the time. Yes, I already told him of this situation and he doesn't do anything about it. so I need prayer that God will tugging in his heart about his lack of communication with me. We have been marriage for 10 years now. I have put up with him for long time. Second challenge that I had with him is money. He refused to work with me on money problems. so I am just felt in my heart I just had to work on it alone. Last challenge was his awful mouth. He emotionally hurt me inside. I have learn to confront him in love and kindness to remind him about his mouth toward to me. He told me that I am sorry. I already forgive him completely. Help Lord to restore our marriage and bring it to your Glory in Jesus' name. Amen Thank you for prayer with me. Jean |

Troubled Marriage
According to what you have written, it sounds like you have done some serious self examination while seeking the Lord. As for your husband and your relationship, it may take more than just an admission to guilt and an apology, as the hurt you have caused him hasn't just happened over night. So, don't expect that it would be that easy for him to be willing to accept what you have committed to in your changing. He has been hurt deeply, over some time and repeatedly. Give him time, as it is the only way he will be able to deal with the situation, along with the Lord's help. When a person has put their trust in another and had their heart broken, as he has, repeatedly, they begin to be more protective of their heart, not wanting to become vulnerable, submitting themselves to becoming a victim again. If you are as sincere as you seem to be here, then you're going to have to give him time to see for himself that you have and will continue to change. Otherwise you will both continue to be stuck in a viscious cycle of repeated broken promises and broken hearts. Continue seeking the Lord, stay in the Word of God, focus on the Scriptures pertaining to marriage, wives, and the fruit of the Spirit. There is also an invitation extended on this forum for all who are interested, to join a Bible study on Marriage. Check it out and sign up. It's a free study and you may find that it is exactly what you may be looking for in your new life in Jesus Christ, and for your marriage. Remember this, having a right relationship with the Lord first will always prove to be a benefit beyond all of our hopes and dreams when it comes to learning how to have lasting, godly, loving relationships with anyone. Will add you both to my prayer list and continue to pray that the Lord will guide you both to His will for your lives, according to His perfect will and in His perfect timing. |

Troubled Marriage
Please pray for me and my husband.Our 5 year anniversary would have been in 3 weeks, I messed up. He is a really good man, but I didn't treat him like I should have... he has left me 2 times and came back, this time he took all his stuff and says he is getting a divorce.I have since been really spending time with God and he has revealed a lot of things to me about myself, and I decided to change and get on the right track...my husband does not want to see or talk to me...I have been praying everyday and asking GOD to intervene and let my husband see that I am evolving into what GOD wants me to be... One day at a time ... I really love him and miss him and I want GOD to restore my marriage....it hurts me that I hurt him and I am feeling like he will never come back... I never cheated or anything, it was my AWFUL TONGUE....Please pray for us...I have confessed my sins to my husband and God... |

To ALL of YOU with MUCH LOVE!
My dear precious sisters and brothers, Having read your posts and requests for prayer, you are all being prayed for, faithfully and continually. Please read the posts that I have posted, before, as I believe that they say as much as can be said, for faith and encouragement. Don't lose hope. Remember that no matter what comes your way, that the Lord is very aware, has allowed it, and will turn around whatever the enemy means for evil to the good, for those who love Him and are called according to His will and purposes. There is always a blessing awaiting in and through every trial we face, a lesson which will draw us ever closer to the Lord and help us to grow in His Wisdom and Grace, as the end of all of these things will bring Him Great Honor and Glory. This being said, be an instrument of His Grace and Glory, a willing and obedient vessel, that others may see Him through you, as you endure until the end. We are to LIVE by FAITH and NOT by Sight! TRUST HIM, He knows EXACTLY WHAT HE IS ALLOWING IN EACH OF OUR LIVES AND HIS WILL, WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED! Loving and praying for you all, in Jesus Christ! In His service, Vicki "VICTORY" |

A Prayer for Us All
Ladies: My husband and I have been separated for almost 5 months and he has moved back with his parents. The most difficult part is that we have a beautiful, happy 1 year old who is the light of our lives. Due to swift life changes (engaged, married and had a baby in less than 2 years) and changes in our financial situation, he has just kind of checked out on our marriage. I am a strong woman but I'm feeling more defeated than I've felt in my entire life and my life has been rough to put it nicely. I go from being encouraged and hopeful to being outright angry. I'm focusing on my faith and know that God's will will be done. Please pray for me and my family. I will take the time today to pray for each of you and your families. I pray that you will all be blessed and that you will come through this trial stronger and together. Stay strong and keep your faith!!! |

Walking the same path
Dear Donna You are not alone, I have recently found that my husband has had emotional affairs and has been viewing pornography on the internet. My husband is saved. The pain, hurt, and grief that we both share at the time is great. I found a book called The Healing Choice by Brenda Stoeker & Susan Allen has helped me greatly in beginning the process of healing regaurdless what choices my husband makes. I know nothing is impossible for God. Can can restore what has been stolen and he can rebuild your life, with or without your husband. I pray that you will find the peace and comfort you need in God's presence. |

Prayer for my failing marriage
In March this year I found out my husband was having an affair. According to him he ended the affair, but I just cant seem to get over it. I am suicidal and very hurt. I cant seem to get to the place where the Lord will guide me. I love my husband, we have been married for six years which was mostly terrible years but I have stood my ground next to his side never failing. Now that I need him he isnt there. I love my husband still but cant seem to forgive him. I need prayer as I dont want to loose my husband and my marriage to the plans of the devil. I was a born again christiaan and the enemy lured me from the path. Please pray for my marriage, my family, I want to come back to the Lord. |

I hear you
Hi Donna, My name is Teela. I hear and feel your pain. I am in a somewhat similar situation with a few more twists and turns. I am 42 yrs old and my husband also told me that he is not in love with me. I do know that he ahs accept Christ but the manifestation of it has not yet taken place. We have the knowledge of Jesus Christ and we trust in that I will be praying for you a conviction, repentant heart and resolution as well as for God to have mercy on him. Here if you want to talk, feel free to contact me at teela67@yahoo.com. Bless you, Teela |

TRUSTING the Lord
Hello Donna, Having just read your prayer request, let me offer my agreement with you in prayer for your husband, marriage, and family. From what you have said, it is obvious that you are a mature and very strong Christian who knows who her Lord is! What an awesome and merciful God we have! Having come through a life time of every type of trial one can imagine, it has become a fact of faith and truth, in my life, that with each trial, I am right where the Lord wants me to be. Whether it be for something He wants me to learn, in order to grow in faith, or for another's benefit, be it to bring them to the Lord's gift of Salvation or to help them to grow through the trials we face and how they see me walk through them, as a child of God. Somwtimes these trials become so overwhelming that I fear I won't make it. However, we have a God, who in all of His loving wisdom and mercy, takes my hand, lifts me up, and at times He even carries me right through the midst of the most horrific of trials! Always bringing me through stronger in Him, closer to Him, and learning to lean while learning to live more each day, by FAITH and NOT by sight! Our God has a plan, of which He IS IN CONTROL, and Who KNOWS what the end will be! He has promised to never leave nor forsake us, but that He WILL BE WITH US, even to the end of the world. Sis, look back through your life and all that He has brought you through, till now. Remember how scary and stressful those times were, while you were going through them. Then think of how those things all CAME and have PASSED! They all CAME TO PASS! This too WILL PASS! And no matter what the end is, you have given all of this to the Lord, in faith, TRUSTING the Lord, His wisdom, and in His loving mercy. LEAVE IT IN GOD'S HANDS! Don't worry, (worrying is a sin!), but TRUST the LORD! Allow the Lord to work His perfect will according to His perfect timing! Live your life with that "PEACE THAT PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING", Walking in FAITH and in the JOY of the LORD! Let your children see the Lord shine through your countenance and they will arise to call you BLESSED! You have to be the strong one now. Your children and many around you, including many strangers, have their eyes on you, watching to see just HOW YOU WILL REACT TO THIS! Let them ALL SEE JESUS CHRIST in YOU! Then YOU will be fulfilling the plan that the Lord has for you, at least in part! Don't think it strange that you're going through this time. Many are suffering the same trials as you, right now. Think of it as an honor that the Lord is allowing this, because He promised that He won't allow more to come on us than we can bare! So, whatever does come in to our lives is because the Lord knows we're strong enough to walk through, in Him and with Him! Be strong sis and lean upon the Lord, for He will see you through! In His service, Vicki "VICTORY" |

Right Path
Dear precious sister, Although life seems to be falling apart, all around you, you are being faithful and obedient to the Word of God. Pray for your husband and your marriage. Leave it with the Lord, for He is in control and knows exactly what He is allowing in your lives 'with the purpose of bringing about His perfect will in His perfect time'. Rest with the assurance that the Lord will not allow more to come into your life than He knows that you can endure and whatever comes is to bring you closer to Him and make you stronger in your faith toward Him. The Lord has a plan, though we may not see or understand, His plan is perfect, righteous, and to bring glory and honor to His holy Name! Trust Him sweetie, no matter what you may see or hear. The enemy is going about seeking those whom he may devour. DO NOT let him devour you. Put on the Whole Armor of God, STAND in FAITH, BELIEVING and TRUSTING our Lord and His great love, protection and wisdom. He will never leave nor forsake you and/or your children. But He will be right there to see you through whatever may come. Sit back, rest in Him and watch Him work. However this turns out, remember that He is in control and whatever the enemy means for evil, our Lord will and does turn around for His Good for those who love Him and are called according to His perfect will. Here are some Scriptures for you sis: "13": And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. "14": For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy. "15": But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace. In His service, Vicki "VICTORY" |

marraige in trouble
I have just been reading your forum and i feel i have come to the right place for help.I have been married for nearly twelve years and during that time i have been grappling with issues that i have noticed such as my husbands insecurity and how he never really appreciates it if i do well in my job. Anyway the real issue is that of money. I earn a good salary but he insisted on A joint account, i agreed to this because i earn more than he and knowing his tempoerament. Every withdrawal that i make is monitored and i have no real say if he makes large unnecessary withdrawals.To make matters worse he is an elder in the church,and beleives that all i should do is submit. |

6 months married and already heading for divorce
I understand how you feel. My husband and i married pretty quickly after meeting each other then had a child. We have only been married for 6 months and known each other for a year and we have a 4 month old daughter. My husband has moved out and wants and divorce. He feels that we were a mistake. The only thing that is keeping me strong during this difficult period is prayer. Stay strong. Divorce is not god's will so continue to pray and he will give you what you need and ask for. No marriage is a mistake, the minute we say "I Do" we are with the one god meant us to be with. |

Hurting Marriages
Having just read all of these precious postings of the Lord's children in so much pain and with such broken hearts, not really knowing what to do or where to turn, I too am in this group. My post is under 'Victory'. After I posted my prayer rewuest, the Holy Spirit thumped me in the head, 'correction...discipline'! Knowing that there is nothing wrong in sharing our burdens and rewuesting prayers by them for us, the Holy Spirit woke me up and reminded me that the Lord has provided us with the instructions on what to do and how! That is why He gave us the 'Armor of God', as taught in Ephesians 6:10-18 10Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; So, I set out in reading the Word, praying as I went around the house, with my olive oil, anointing everything that my husband might come in contact with, as I prayed for his Salvation and our marriage. I then sat down and hand wrote a prayer of confessing my own sins and faults that may have contributed to our troubled marriage, asking the Lord to send the Holy Spirit to convict my husband and to draw him to that place of great Godly fear and sorrow, that he would repent and cry out to God for forgiveness, seeking God's Face a nd receive His Son, Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior, in spirit and in truth. I then placed that written prayer under the head of the mattress on our bed, on my husband's side, where it is even now. I pray each day and night that same prayer, BELIEVING that the Lord will and is doing an awesome work in my husband's spirit. The day that I did all of this, my husband came home that evening and it was as if nothing had happened before. We are still together, living in peace and really enjoying each other again. He has yet to come to the lord, but I know that he will, in God's perfect timing. All I have to do is to continue to pray for him, BELIEVING, and leave it in God's hands. Thank you Lord! In His service, Victory |

My husband needs to be save.
I need a prayer for my husband. He acts like i don't exsits sometimes he doesn't listen to what i have to say sometimes it's nonsense to him, he doesn't care about my feelings and a number of other things. He told me and our children that we was not meant to be together basically be cause i won't let him run over me and do what he wants to do, and he also told me that if it wasn't for me losing my sight and not being able to work that he would have never married me. My husband is very selfsh, mean and cold hearted, and blames me for everything that goes wrong. He also is addict to porn and always lusting over other woman, money and he just don't care about nothing especially me.

Throw Away after 37 Years
Told by husband of 37 years that he wants me out by the 1st of NOV. Nowhere to go, no finances, no transportation, no job! I'm devastated, as I have always loved him. He is a Vietnam veteran, unsaved, drinks, no physical, but plenty of verbal abuse. Not willing to try to work things out. Leaving me backed up against the wall, not knowing what to do, where to go, or how I'll be able to be out. SURVIVAL IS the main concern right now! We're 7 miles from town and no neighbors close or who would be of help. Right now, the Lord is my strength and I'm trusting Him for direction. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. |

Father Help Me!!!
Please pray for my husband!!! He is currently in bondage to painkillers and depression, and has been enslaved to them for 3yrs. I left almost 2wks. ago with my 6yr. old and 2yr. old boys. He has become mentally unstable and very angry. I have been in this situation for 3 long years. I can't take it anymore. I have tried to work through (2) affairs he's had, drug addiction, him being suicidal, him being institutionalized in a mental hospital twice, him being diagnosed as bi-polar, depression, violent temper, cold demeanor towards everyone (including his own family!, rejection of Christ, lies, deceit, no regard for anyone other than himself etc. etc. etc.!!! He lost his job week before last and I am the only one working now, he also filed bankruptcy and we are on the verge of losing everything we have ever had. The sad part in all of this is that I have done nothing to deserve any of this!! It feels so unfair. He was just diagnosed with transverse myelitis yesterday (condition of the spinal cord, which can lead to ms) I am praying like I never have before for God to bring him to salvation and for God to make him into the man he created him to be. I pray the God would set him free from all of the bondage he's under! Any advice on this matter would be GREATLY appreciated!! I feel soo many things right now: hurt, confusion, anger, peace, fear, sadness. Please pray for him (Brandon) and me. Satan is trying to destroy my family!!! Brandon has put me and my children through so much in the past 3yrs. I know it's not God's will for us to divorce or for Brandon to be unhappy. I am praying for a miracle!!! Because at times this situation seems impossible at times, but I am comforted in knowing that these are the very situations that God LOVES to work in!!!! I am trying my level best to sit and be patient even during this very painful and troubling time!!! I pray that God will hold me up with his righteous right hand and that I may put on the full armor of God to handle this situation!!! In Christian Love, Devon |

There is hope
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
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
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
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...
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 |
