I am praying for all of you. We have much in common- a spouse that no longer wants to be married to us.
I have been separated for 6 months from my husband of only 3.5 years. I was verbally and physically abusive throughout our relationship, but to top it all off, I had an affair. I have since gone to counseling and have been working on my relationship with God. I have changed and I pray that my husband can see this.
He says that he likes me, loves me, likes to spend time with me (although that doesn't happen much), but he isn't "in love" with me. He doesn't have husbandly feelings for me since the affair. He does go to church, but I feel he is resisting God's way in all of this. I know that I hurt him very much and it will take time for his wounds to heal. I feel like he wants things to be better, but he doesn't know how to get there from where he is.
I have done so much work to change my life and I am feeling a little bitter and impatient waiting for God's timing. God has done tremendous things for me and I can see His work in my life on a daily basis. Please pray that I can accept God's timing, and love my husband as he is, not how I would like him to be.
May God touch your wife's heart - I am in the same situation by: Anonymous
Dear Jason,
I can see that you are really serious to reconcile with your wife and it is obvious that she also still has feelings for you since she allowed you to come back for a few week-ends.
Then it can be frustrating to convince the one you love. Don't give up hope, you may still have a chance if there is no other man involved and if she changed her mind just because she is afraid of getting hurt.
Let God do his work, keep trying to improve your ways for God will be happy to see that you are trying to change to be a better Christian, and I will pray that God opens your wife's heart.
I am in the same situation with my ex-husband and I am praying for the same thing than you. I tried to change but I am running out of time because he is trying to get a mail-order bride from an undevelopped country.
I will keep you in my prayers and I hope that you will also pray for me.
