Although I am on the weekly prayer list already, I am asking for additional prayers right now. My wife has recently started an affair with a fellow student, and has informed me that she is divoring me - my posts are throughout the infidelity section.

Although I do not want this divorce to happen, and wish my wife would return to the Lord and her family, I know that only God can change her heart.

I am very, very sad and distressed: please pray for forgiveness for not only her sins, but mine as well - for anything I may have done to drive her away. Please pray that she may change her mind, or one day wish to return. I vowed to be hers, and I wish to remain so. I love her.

In Christ
David

'kay, David. I am praying for you and your family as I type. I am so sorry for your situation and your pain. Unfortunately many of us here know it well. Hang in there and wait to see what God will do in your heart and life.

I think I am with Chris- Confused on why you are looking for a good attorney if you want to keep your marriage?

Because no matter what my intentions may be, I have three kids, and I need to be able to fight for custody, should my wife go thru with a divorce. The company she is keeping right now has NO Christians in it at all - there is a marrried lesbian couple, several other gay and lesbian persons, and a coupld of other people who are in the middle of affairs. That lifestyle is unaccepstable to me to allow my children to go into - and attorney's are expensive. Hence my request. Although I most certainly ask God first and foremost to restore my family, I also have the duty to protect my children...that's why I'm asking for prayers that God provide me both with a good attorney and the funds to pay for that person. That clear up any cornfusion?

David

Yes it does and you do need to protect your children. I'm so sorry. Prayers for you.

Slow down...

If plan A is working, and she is having second thoughts, why are you going to see the lawyer?

Forget the lawyer. Tell your wife you love her and that you want to slow this down.

Waiting for her to file tells the judge I'm just responding to a threat, not taking precautions. Shul, I don't want a divorce. That is the last thing that I want. But I have to nbe ready. My wife does not show signs of coming back - even tho the fog clears on occasion, it simply means that she is thinking clearly about the OM, not our marriage.

My prayer is that the marriage be healed, actually, replaced with a better one. But my wife acts impulsively and with determination once she makes up her mind. I must be prepared. I will not force a divorce, but at the same time, I will not allow my children to be taken from their life and thrust into a lifestyle that from day one they have been taught is wrong in God's eyes.

Pete,

You have asked God to save this marriage, so start speaking positive things. Talk as though he will.

For example:

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> wife is planning on moving out with the kids </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Don't say that. Say something positive. You said on another thread that plan A is working. Keep saying that.

Say that she is having second thoughts. Start thanking God for what he is going to do. Thank him that she hasn't moved out and that you still have an opportunity to show love to her.

Guard your words .

Shul,

Thread jack, you mentioned a book in my thread. I asked you a followup, but haven't seen an answer.

Great news in your sitch, BTW, I could use some great news.
