My husband and I have been married almost 5 years. It has been a rough road from almost day one.I have a child from a previous relationship, and he has no children. We fell in love almost immediately, so much love at first sight but close.We are currently separated,and it's tearing my heart out. He recently got out of the army.He was in Iraq of course he has been traumatized because of it.I try to be understanding, but seriously how am I going to understand something like that.Two days after he came home for good, his best friend died of cancer (he was only 24). My husband has been withdrawn and distant. I haven't seen him in 2 weeks.I have no biblical reason to divorce this man.but for basicly our whole marriage we've been apart.I'm tired of being alone.I don't want a divorce I want my husband to love me again. I'm only holding on by God's grace.What should I do?

Dear Holding on.

Get the elders of your church to pray over some annointing oil. When he goes to sleep annoint his head lightly with this oil, pray over him, rebuke the supernatural forces that hold his mind captive. The bible says we war not against flesh and blood but against the powers and principalities of tha air, the rulers of darkness. I know this may seem a bit extreme to you, and you have to be careful when you do this. He may sleep light due to combat, see I too am a soldier of some 14 years. I know what he must be going through. I tell you that Satan wants to destroy your marriage, your family, and home. It is up to you to take back what he has stolen, being a child of God you have the authority, power to call on the name of Jesus and pray over him, and pray over his life. If you feel uncomfortable praying over him at night while he sleeps, pray over his pillow annoint it and ask God to bring healing to his mind, and spirit every time he lays his head on that pillow. Seems far out thers for some folks, but I tell you that we are dealing with a spiritual enemy Satan, he does not want your marriage to work. Is your husband a beleiver? If he is the more better, If not pray and ask God to bring influence and change in his life. Call his name out every day ask God to make him whole. The devil isnt shy about doing buisness with him, or you. Be bold and take back what the locust have eaten. Good luck,


God Bless,

MelMan

melman, i want to thank you for your wisdom. let me ask your opinion on something even though we are separated is it okay to fullfill my wifely duties. i think, it keeps him from temptation, God says don't deny your husband. but it also makes me feel used.thanks
