On my sons baptism my husband tells me he wants to seperate, 2 weeks later I found out through a phone bill that there is an OW. He wanted me to stay let this phase run its course he would be back. The OW called me and told me how she and my husband was going to take My 7 month old away from me. Then that evening my husband and I got into a fight and he said the some thing he says he only said those things because he was angry. I went to an attorny and he siad if they took Dylan to Indiana(that is where they are living together) I would be fighting the custody battle over there. I live in Illinois. So I filed for divorce and got temporary sole custody of Dylan. Needless to say my husband is not real happy with me, but I had to do what I had to do. I beleive in my wedding vows very much and if my husband wanted back into our marriage (if God so saw it fit)and would be very willing to get help I would try and work our marriage out. So please pray for us.

Thanks for all the Prayers. Last Week Thursday and Friday Kyle came to see Dylan we had a nice time. He talked about leaving the other women how all of his stuff is packed and ready to go, he doesnt like her attitude, or her friends. But when he went back he stayed. Please keep praying for us. If he is wavering a little maybe God is starting to work on him. Please keep praying and I'll keep praying for everyone else.<P>Thanks

My prayers are with you. I hope things keep looking up for you. I pray that your husband finds his way home to you and your little boy. I am in similar situation, but no OW that I know of. I too am waiting and hoping for mine to come home to me and our 1 year old son. I think it must be hard for a man to return home after leaving like they do. I think my h's pride has a lot to do with it. Just remember, something in your relationship allowed this to happen, just like in mine, be prepared for the changes you have to make and stick to for it to not happen again, if he does come back. I feel for you, my husband is staying with our friends and only about 15 mins. from our house. I hope we are both reunited with our wayward husband's and back to being a family again. May God be with you and bring you peace. cindy

Thanks for all your prayers. Yesterday(Easter Sunday) my husband said that him, my son and the OW were to go to church. Supposdly the OW's sister is very religous so they had to go to church. I went to church also while I sat in church I just cried to think of that. Please continue to pray for us. Hopefully with time God will bring us back together.

I will certainly pray for your marriage. I also will pray for you for God to grant you peace a strong heart. I pray that Satan will not keep your family apart. No weapon formed against your marriage shall prosper. But you must claim this. I'm sorry it hurts so bad and I'm sure having a child makes it hurt even worse. Through this prayer site, all God's prayer warriors will stand fast to help you with your faith. Your H has good signs toward reconciliation that some marriages don't have. Keep on praying. Stay, stay, stay down on your knees no matter how long you have to. Thank Him for the victory won in your marriage. And trust Him for His timing. He is truly an on time God.<BR>God Bless you and your family

Dear Father, we worship You. We love You, we Praise You. Father, we thank you for moving to keep tigger's baby Dylan with her. Praise You Jesus, You are Lord of all. Father, please touch tigger's heart, filling her with Your love and peace. Protect her Father, she needs You so much right now. Thank You Father for bringing her to this site, allowing us the opportunity to pray for her. Please guide her in her decisions concerning her marriage. Lord, I pray that a wedge of discord will be placed between tigger's husband and the OW. Dear Jesus, please convict this husband, drawing him close to You; open his ears and eyes to the Truth. Show him that You are the Living God, show him the way to You. Thank You Father, we Praise You. IJN I pray, AMEN

Thanks again for all the prayers. I think there is still be same wavering. H has us in such financial problems he feels he can not leave the OW because he can't afford a place to stay. However he is not ready to come back to our house. He says he doesnt want to be there with her. He likes to do things with her son. H can be a very kind hearted person. I know I'v hurt him with our son not giving him written premission to take for over nights in Indiana, But he to has hurt me with Dylan by taking him over there. I pray that God will show me the direction I need to be going. AGAIN i WILL KEEP PRAYING FOR EVERYONE HERE. tHANKS IN ADVANCE FOR EVERYONES PRAYRERS.

H came over last night for visitation with Dylan. I still think there is some wavering. He said things like he really doesn't like OW, likes her son. If he came back it would have to be a slow process. Etc. It makes me think there is hope. So please keep prayeing for our family.

I will continue to pray for you and your family. I hope that your H comes home soon. Just the fact that he said he said he would come if it was a slow process gives me hope for you. My husband came home on Easter but read my newest post about this. I did not put pressure on my husband and it was his decision entirely as to when he was ready to come home. I have learned that H's don't take pressure very well at this point. When he does come home be very careful. I'm fighting this so hard myself right now. To do any love busting right now would only justify his reasons for leaving in the first place. Please pray for me also.<P>Our Most Loving and Merciful Father,<P>I lift up this family to you Lord. Please give this husband a loving spirit and renew his longing to be with his wife and son. Give them peace Lord and comfort their pain. Reunite this family Lord because we know that you only want good things for your children. Please Jesus, stand in the gap that separates this husband and wife. Bridge that space so that He can make that strong decision to honor his vows that he made to her in your presence. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen<P>Life is so hard, but we only become stronger for all our trials we endure. I hope you and I will truly learn what God wants us too from this.<P>Cindy

Hi to All of Prayer Friends. This has been the hardest time in my life. as I'm writing this I have tears in my eyes. I just spoke to H on the phone and when he hung up he said love you. I dont know how that makes me feel. I hope he was truthfull in his words. I don't know if he wants to leave the OW or not but I believe God is making hi waver. Writing all of this down makes me feel better, knowing that people I don't really know care enougth pray for us. May God bless you all.

Dear Tigger, You are a good mother! How very wise of you to protect your son in the way you did, by refusing to sign a paper allowing H to take him out of state. Did I read right? This is a 7 month old baby? He belongs with you, dear. Babies, infants, belong with their Mommies. I would never have let my H take our son out of state when he was so young. Once he's got permission, he could keep him out of state, possession is 9/10 of the law, you are doing the right thing. <P><BR>My prayers are with you.

Hi Belle<P>Thanks for the support. My H thinks Im very wrong for not letting him take Dylan to is home in In, Which is acctually the OW's house. I keep telling him he should very have threatened me with taking him. or let girlfriend call and tell me same thing. He doesn't think anything about the fact that Dylan is only 8 mos old. Thanks also for the prayers.<P>The longer he is out of our house and at the OW's house it seems to me that it is going to be harder for us to be together. Has any got an opinion on this. I can see myself getting stronger every day. I would still like my marriage to work out, but I dont feel as desperate for it. I just wish he could see that we do need him, but I know if its not Gods will for us to be together Dylan and I will make it. With thats a nice feeling because a few weeks ago I was very very desperate. Thanks again in advance for all your prayers. Each and everyone of you are in mine.

Well my H is moving the OW and her 3 kids to a different place one in the country. He is doing this because he knows how bad I want to be in the country. He signed a 6 month lease. God sure is working in a funny way. He has let a man enter in my life that is very nice and very supportive. He has gone through similiar situation with his ex wife having an affair and all. Iam not for sure what God has in mind for me, but I know he will guide me with each and every step. He complements me and everything My H has not done that in years. It has made me feel as if I am worth something. Well if God brings H back or if I move into a new direction I know he will be with me at all times. He might not bring him back right away maybe we each of us needs to go in different directions right now. Thanks for the past prayers and also the continued prayers

I will keep all of you in my prayers, I believe that the reason divorce is running so rampant in this country is because enough couples don't pray together. My husband has never been saved. His family is not religious and it's just not something he has been around. He has left me because he says he is too young to be married and that it's just not there for me anymore. We have a 4 year old daughter and we are both 26. Would you please pray for us. I love my husband and I don't want a divorce. I have asked God for help and I believe he will help me. I wish my husband could see what he is doing and I think the devil has a big hand in it. I just pray that Jesus will touch his heart and show him how good his life could be if he would give up the partying.
