Last night, the man I have shared my life with for 22 years, told me he has absolutely no hope for our marriage. He avoided saying the D word, but that's what he wants. He says he sees no other way.

I do not want this, but will not fight him on it. The last few months have been very hard on me, and I am trying to find my way back to God. I attended church for the first time in 30 years (except for weddings, funerals) last Sunday, and am praying everyday. I never expected to be in this situation, and my pain, confusion and fear are at impossible levels.

It is my hope that there are good Christians on this thread, and I ask you to pray for me. Not to heal my marriage, as I don't think that's a possibility. But for God to guide me in finding a church for comfort, and to help me be close to God and feel His mercy and wisdom so I can get through what is going to be the hardest time of my life. Please pray for God to watch over me, and my husband.

Thank you.

Hi sqeak <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" /> ,

I will be praying. But I also know that if the marriage isn't reconciled, there is always life after divorce. Don't give up. God will take care of you. Keep trusting Him!!! He is a merciful God!!! I'm glad you are coming back to Him and us!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Sent with Love, -Ladysheep

Hi Squeak, Please go to the following web site http://www.restoreministries.net/ and pick up the womens work book 'Wise Woman: Workbook for Women '
at this time I am working thru the workbook for men. Let me assure you that if you put your trust in God alone he will save your marriage. you are going to have many tough days/years ahead but trust God and he will get you thru them. Smiaj

]Hi Squeak,
Long-time M, as you...........this ain't fun at this stage in life, is it?

I found the following site as good as the one SMiaJ recommended: http://www.rejoiceministries.org

Smiaj has given you good, sound advice!

We all will pray for each other, as well as our WS's.......and let God work!

God Bless,

Thank you for your kind words and for your prayers. I know this will be hard, but I know that with God's help, I will be fine. When God is with you, what can you possibly fear?

I met with a pastor and a prayer warrier last night, for several hours. I feel so blessed by their kindness and support, and I left feeling strong and at peace. God truly showed me his mercy and love through them.
