704, no one is offended at all. But you can avail yourself of the fabulous program here. I don't think it is any accident you were sent to Marriage Builders. It is the best program I am aware of and I am convinced it was given to Dr. Harley in a prophecy from God. Many of us have saved our marriages using these methods. Do you want to do the same?

Of course I want to save my marriage covenant I made before God, that is the reason for the google search that lead me to this forum. As I said before I have read the plans A and B and have tried to apply them to my marriage but both are a little hard when there is no communication window at all and that is the reason I also need prayer to help with my situation as I am sure you are aware all situations are unique in some way. It is hard to put any plan into action without the divine intervention from God to help kick start the process

I am praying that you will use the wealth of resources at your disposal on the forum to which God has brought you. I believe God's divine intervention was to lead you to this forum to get help saving your marriage just like he did mine.

Now, you just have to pick up those tools that lie before you.

The forum that can help you with the task before you is the Surviving an Affair forum.

I just wanted to get on here and tell everyone that did pray for me thank you, my wife and I are now back together and actually have been back together for a month. This is why I asked for prayers because I have always believed in prayers working (this is called faith). I really do appreciate those that just prayed with me when I asked for it and want you all to know I have prayed for each one that has asked for it that I have read from here because if you didnt need prayers you wouldnt have asked and I feel it's the least I can do without telling you to go do this or do that before I pray for you. Thanks again for the prayers everyone and wanted you all to know your prayers have worked and she is home

Thanks for the update, 704. That is great news indeed! I pray that you will now use the resources here to SAVE your marriage. Getting back together is only the first step in a long process. If these steps are not taken, you will end up with a crippled state of the pre-affair marriage, which will be more vulnerable to an affair than it was before.

In the words of Dr. Bill Harley:

But when it's followed, it always works. The plan has two parts that must be implemented sequentially. The first part of the plan is for the unfaithful spouse to completely separate from the lover and eliminate the conditions that made the affair possible. The second part is for the couple to create a romantic relationship, using my Basic Concepts as a guide."

We will be here to help you when you are ready to work on recovery, friend.

I', glad to hear that she is back, Sir.

However, I caution you to take steps to ensure the affair is ended and future affairs are avoided.
This is best accomplished by following the recovery plan in Surviving an Affair by Dr. Willard Harley.

Not gonna start a new thread but will some of you pray with me for my marriage as well? I would greatly appreciate it.
I also believe in the power of prayer. God has always been there for me and our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ.

Dear God, and his beloved son Jesus Christ. Please forgive my adulterous ways and the sins I've committed against you, and your heavenly kingdom.

In the name of Jesus Christ, i command all that is evil and destructive to flee from me and my wife, flee from my marriage.
In Jesus's name. Amen.

Thank you

I will pray for you and your wife, but I am sorry to tell you, Jesus Christ's name does not work this way. It is not a magic word. Jesus Himself granted betrayed husbands and wives a right to divorce and they are not wrong to choose it.

Fortunately Jesus has permitted you to be brought to the best possible place to learn how to recover your marriage.
