I am in love with my wife she says she is not and that she wants to explore herself. She wants a separation supposed ly but she talks as if its permanant. I am losing my family and I am very depressed and sad. Please pray for us and ask God to open her heart to me and to her family. We have children and she thinks that his will be ok for them. I have been away from home due to work and now after 3 months I am ready to bring them to Texas. She says no and that she has been living in the shadow of not being in love for 3YEARS. In those 3 years there have been so much growth and closeness I find this hard to understand. God help me please.

Dear Lord, I come before you to lift up inpainnow, and his marriage. Father, please speak to his wife's heart, loudly, calling her to You. Turn her heart towards You Lord, bring her to a place a repentance, showing her what her role is as a wife. Let her understand that marriage is more than a promise, more than a commitment, but a covenant, never to be broken. Remind her dear Lord that "what God has joined together, let no man separate". Reveal Your truth to her Lord. Bring her heart and soul back into her marriage, and to her husband. Lord, your word tells us that it is not good for a husband and wife to be separated, to keep them from committing sins of the flesh. Fill her heart, mind and soul with your Word that says "And unto the married I command, yet not I, BUT THE LORD, 'Let not the wife depart from her husband'. Father, if she is not saved, I pray that the Holy Spirit will convict her about her salvation, and bring her to repentance before You. Renew the love for her husband. Lord, I pray that she will forgive her husband for being gone, working away from his family. Bring this family back together dear Lord. In Jesus name I pray, AMEN

My situation is similar. Take some comfort in the fact that Harley says that the main complaint he receives when a couple comes for counseling is "I am not in love anymore" from one or both parties. It's all about the EM's being met.<P>In my case my wife has gone into a rapid withdrawal on top of the "empty" feeling she has inside and now says she feels no attraction to me whatsoever. This is due to the fact that she has fallen back into the throngs of her emotional affair which we grossly mishandled, among other things.<P>I deal with it. I was and am prepared for it. I will be the best I can be for God and my wife (and she will not be able to ignore the change in me). And I will not give up until my marriage is healed. Sure it hurts, but I must focus on my mission and the ultimate goal here.<P>Strength, faith, and commitment are the things that will pull us back onto a path of healing and I must place my entire faith in God. The rest will work itself out in the end.<P>Good Luck and pray a lot with faith.<P>Be the person she wants to come home to and she will.<P>Changed Man
