Hi, I have been happily married for 16 years and have three children.I got caught up in a few lies with my wife (Borrowed money to hide finacial situation) and as a result have Betrayed this woman I love and honor more than anything on this earth.She filled a divorce in September and is not backing down or want to seek counseling and I am having the hardest time in my life dealing with this and know in my heart that Jesus is the only one that can help.Please all pray for her and I. I have always Loved and Honored her and did this behind her back to protect her well being and credit as she was raising the children.
Thank You all and God Bless

if it were me, you should know how your woman will react to you. Get in her face (nicely) and get close enough to touch her. Be completely honest with her, go into the bit about the financial situation affecting you as a man because obviously it's our job to support the family and you didn't want her to think deep down you weren't a man because you couldn't support your own family - you know it was hurting your basal instincts whether she wants to understand that or not.
If you stop [censored] her will she feel like less of a woman? It could be because of this financial stuff - compare your situation of not feeling like a man and the money issue with her not feeling like a real woman and she might understand. 16 years and she won't consider?? shame on her.

Father God,
I pray you take the hand of this child of yours and guide him into your light. Bring peace into this situation and help his wife to see the repentance in his heart. I pray Your will alone be done in their marriage.
Thank you for bringing cant_giveup to Marriage Builders. I pray you show him how to use the resources here most effectively to help his marriage. Place your hands on both he and his wife and give them comfort as they walk through the valley. In Jesus' holy name I pray.
Also, cant_giveup, I'd like to recommend a really great Christian financial website: Crown.org
They have a lot of really great tools to help you get back on track financially. In the meantime, the best thing you can do is seek to draw closer to the Lord. God bless you.
