Please pray for my marriage. We have no children because I didn't feel God's calling to have them. Now he says he must have them and has had an affair with a willing OW. He says he's broken off the affair, but I know she left the door open and he won't commit to moving away, as I want to. I know we have a lot of work to do, but, though he shows up for counseling sessions, he's moved out of the house "temporarily" and doesn't seem inclined to return. Also, he keeps bringing up having children, knowing that I can't make that commitment now, due to his recent behavior and the window of opportunity is shrinking (I'm now over 40 -- he's a couple years younger). Please pray that God will renew H's commitment to me and show us the way to rebuild.

Dear Jesus,<P>Please heal this marriage as You have healed so many others. Build up a hedge to prevent this man from reaching the other woman. If it is Your will, please grant them a healthy baby who will become a Christian.<P>Bring us closer to You, Lord as we go through our trials. I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Dazed,<P>Are you really trusting God to lead you has to have a baby or not? Pleae don't answer me, I just wanted you to think about this. God really convicted me of some things that I was trusting myself to contol rather than Him. You must have faith that God is in control. Trust Him with everything. His ways are not our ways.<P>God led me to the following site to show me His will for <BR>marriage. The book here is all God's word and it truely changed my life. I never realized how much control I was taking of things until God convicted me through His word. Please go to <A HREF="http://www.restorem.org" TARGET=_blank>www.restorem.org</A> and read the testimonies and order teh book. I pray you go soon.<P>gentle
