My husband filed for divorce on October 23. We have only been separated 3 months. I am certain he is acting impulsively, as he has been very angry, depressed and confused. We are Christians, but H turned against God, but admitted that lately he has been telling God that he is sorry. When we talk he expresses love for me (says his heart yearns for me) and the desire to reconcile, but then backs away, expressing anger. He rarely communicates with me. I am in Plan B now. Please pray that God will save our marriage and change my H's heart back to God and me. Thank you.

J,
I stand with you!
Dear Lord, I pray that this H listens to You as You deal with his heart. Cause the circumstances in his life to turn his eyes to You as his deliverer. Replace the anger toward his W with love for her. Let this W hear from him tonight that he is committed to start the reconciliation. Give this dear couple hope in their marriage, and their future together! In Jesus name, Amen.
Let me know how you are doing. LW

J,
I am sorry for the pain you are going through. How are you doing? How did you get to Plan B. Have you read any of Harleys books?

Hi Loyal Warrior,
The Lord is really sustaining me and I'm doing quite well. I believe He is truly working in my circumstances. I sort of blew it yesterday, however, when my husband emailed me asking when I was going to sign his separation agreement (which I don't plan to) and then accusing me of being a terrible wife and that I sabotaged our marriage. I didn't seek the Lord's counsel and instead responded in my own way, "kindly" disagreeing. H then responded with an ugly email, calling me a "b" and a heathen. I didn't reply and this morning I got an email from him apologizing (so that's good) even though he said he couldn't be the one to give me love and acceptance. I replied very briefly that it was o.k. and I understood. But I really don't plan to respond again unless he seriously wants to discuss reconciliation.
I probably shouldn't say I'm in Plan B since I haven't read the Harley books. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="images/icons/blush.gif" /> I've just read up on Plan A and Plan B through this website. I've been involved with Restore Ministries and read a little of Dr. Dobson's "Love Must Be Tough".
