hi i am trying anything to fix my marriage. please pray for reconciliation.
heres the story My husband and I have had problems for awhile. We grew further and further apart mostly due to my dislike of porn and his lying to cover up his like of it. Looking back I may have been overreacting to it. We never really solved those issues. We grew further and further apart to where I started thinking about divorce. I told him I wanted one, he begged for us to stay together. I did not believe things would be different and made him move out. I then met a man who was very nice to me said all the things I had always wanted husband to say. You know the rest. My husband and I remained separated for a few months, we then talked about reconciling. He moved back in and a woman he had been seeing up to that point started calling. He had told her it was over. We fought about that, but tried to work it out anyway. Didn't work right away he moved back out for a couple months. I thought it was over and moved. I realize now what a mistake I made I want to work things out with him but he says no its done. I feel hes just saying this because hes mad. Deep down I think he wants it to work but doesnt want to admit it in case he gets hurt again. He says he likes the single life clubbin, strip clubs etc. I feel hell get tired of this scene soon enough. What should I do? We have kids, and along time together. I am willing to do whatever it takes. Should I just give it up, or should I fight the divorce? How do I do I? Please email me or reply I'm desperate for any advice.

Dear Heavenly Father, I lift this marriage up to you and ask that you would pour your mercy and grace upon both of them. That You would cause them both to have a hunger for You that they have never had before. Lord, when they walk in Your light, miraculous things will begin to happen. Lord, I ask that you would give them both a heart of repentence, because a repentent heart is a teachable heart. Father, I ask that you would put strong unwaivering Christians in their path who will speak and show them Your will and will not stray from it. Lord, I ask that You will give them Your wisdom and a new hope. Do a new work in them Lord. Father, I ask that this marriage be saved. In Jesus name. Amen singleguy

Hi MissMyHoney, This is some scripture that God had prepared for me in advance of the trouble that my husband and I had. Proverbs 3:5,6,7 says, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil." Dear Heavenly Father I pray that you would put a hedge of protection round and about MissMyHoney and her husband. I pray Father that the spirits of lust, pornography, and adultery will be broken off of their lives. Father I pray that their marriage will be restored and that you will take away their pain and suffering. Give MissMyHoney strength and encouragement to stand in the gap for her husband and her marriage. Help her to realize Father that it is You and only You that is her source. I pray Father that you will give each of them compassion, understanding, and love for each other. Father you tell us in Proverbs 21:1 that "The king's heart is in the hand of the Lord, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will." I pray that you will turn their hearts toward you and that her husbands heart will be turned once again towards their marriage. Amen
