My WH told me 8 weeks ago he no longer wants to be married. As the first week wore on, he admitted he was in an EA with another woman. She lives halfway around the world; they've gotten to know each other via phone. He's in love with her. He met her once while she was vacationing in our city. We are both solid Christians. My WH knows God's Word, but is choosing to make exceptions to the "I hate divorce" statements; he's also twisting other Scripture to justify his behavior. He hasn't attended church with us in over a year. He insists his decision is final, but I believe God can change his heart toward me. I have admitted the many habits and mistakes I've made along the way and am ready to begin changing those and working on our relationship; he wants no part of it. Say's he's done. We have 3 incredible daughters--18, 15 and 8. (Oldest just left for college 6 hrs. away.) He hasn't told them yet (waiting for the "right time"). He's planning to move out in January after he's told his family (he lives far from them and hasn't seen them in 7.5 years). I want our marriage to work; I believe with God it can (and with the implementation of Harley's program). Please pray with me that my WH will be freed of the deceit he is currently in and will hear/see/obey God's Truth about marriage and divorce. I think there's a possibility that when he visits his family, that could be a turning point. Maybe I'm grasping at straws, but it could be. Thank you so much.

Prayers coming your way. Get yourself prepared by understanding MB principles and using them (Plan A, Plan B and Exposure). Exposure is a powerful weapon when used right.
Bless you.

Yes, we attended the seminar in August and have all the books and CDs. It makes so much sense to me (Harley's program). H just doesn't want to try anymore, but I can see that prayer is giving him doubts about his decision. Little by little.....
