Good day everyone. I'm new to this site and found out about it from regarding information on another site. My wife has decided to separate herself from our marriage. She feels like the love is not there, and believes it never was. We have 2 young kids together. We have had our fair share of ups and downs. Next month will make 4 years of marriage. I'm asking for the prayers of anyone, preferably everyone, in helping me cope with this separation. I never asked for it. I truly believe it can make matters worse because it allows the devil to have more control, however all things are possible with Christ. Pray for me, my well-being, my kids, that they arent affected, my wife, that God restores in her what she needs, and especiall my marriage, that it succeeds and this becomes my testimony.I'm looking to speak on this site to give me uplifting and encouragement. Afterall, it is a site for building marriages. Thank you, everyone, who will give feedback.

Brother my heart and prayer go out to you(and for you). I had my wife abandon the kids and me after 11 years of marriage. Its the most brutal intense thing ive ever experienced because i didnt see it coming. In one of the videos they are sharing how people who have divorced and remarried(very happily) will say if they had it to do over again they never would have divorced as it stole so much of their life. I tell you what from experience it does. The effects on the kids can be heartbreaking and I thank God I practiced HIS WORD to the best of my ability or the damage to me and the kids would have been so much worse. I am remarried and blending a family adds so much work, issues and can really strain the new marriage(even destroy it). With this being said the best advice I can ever give is give everything you got to make it work because you wont regret that. Watching the videos may be a great way to start the road ahead.

Welcome to MB, AW. I am sorry to hear of the events in your marriage.

I and many people here will pray for you. (I think I've also seen your name in the Prayer forum.) As well as that, though, we can help you try and restore your marriage. Could you tell us the sequence of events that led to her leaving? Has there been an affair? What do you know about the affair, if so? Where is your wife living now? Has she taken the kids with her?

Lord Jesus, Son of God, Have mercy on this man and his family.
We ask, oh Lord, for your divine intervention and the healing of this man's marriage.
We ask that you may send Angels to guard this man during this time of great trial and sorrow. We are so thankful he has asked for prayer and we pray for you to guide him, oh Lord and draw him closer to you.
Have mercy on his children Lord. May you send Angels to protect them and guard their way. May they feel your love and presence. Please place Godly people in their lives.
Have mercy on his wife Lord. We don't know the details but we know that you created marriage and hate divorce. Please draw her closer to you oh Lord that she may make wise Godly decisions.

Amen
