I am a christian struggling with my marriage. My husband and I are currently separated, he has left me for the third time. We are constantly in battle over things that can be resolved if we allow God to work them out...my husband is not grounded in Christ.. I Love Him and have relied on my Faith to sustain me...We also have a son who is hurting and wanting mom and dad together, I WANT TO KNOW AM I CRAZY FOR WAITING ON GOD IF HE SAYS HE WANTS A DIVORCE, OR SHOULD I LET HIM GO? I believe we tried everything together except GOD...and the hardest part is I know he loves me...he just needs to submit to GOD

Oh Lord,

I pray for Nerrissia's husband that he will listen to your whisper to come home to you. I pray for Nerrissia that you give her the wisdom to handle this in your way and will. I pray to you for Nerrissia son that you may comfort him in this time of trouble.

In Jesus' name AMEN

Marc

Hello Nerrissia,

Here is the teaching of Jesus on divorce:

Matthew, Chapter 19
1 And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;

2 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.

3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.


As stated in the above scripture, Christian's cannot divorce their spouse and remarry except for situations of adultery by their husband or wife. If the Christian divorces their spouse for anything other than adultery, they cannot remarry. This scripture doesn't say a wife must divorce her husband who has cheated on her, but she may do so and remarry.

Your marriage to your husband is a Holy union, with two bodies joined as one flesh, Nerrissa. Your strong bond to him is a testimony of that fact. I am so happy your faith has sustained you and I pray it will continue to do so. No, you are not crazy for waiting on God to move in your husbands life. To the contrary, you are to be admired for your strength and faith. Hang on to that faith.

As a Christian, we must be guided by scripture as to what our path must be. Sometimes, it doesn't make sense, but ultimately, following scripture is the only way, as it is the only path paved with truth.

I do not know where you live, but in some states, a man does not need his wife's permission to divorce her. Perhaps in your state, he does. I encourage you to talk with your pastor or priest. Hold their counsel to you up to the light of scripture and ask them to show you chapter and verse to support their advice. Pray without ceasing and be strong in the Lord. God will show you His path for you to follow. Our prayers will be with you.

Hi Nerrisa
I understand yo situation, as im in a similar situation myself..But i have learnt that with God nothing is impossible and that some of these battles, they are not for us to fight but for God to fight for us..so as i pray myself i will pray for u and ask the others to pray for us too..but im convinced that the Lord will fight for me and my husband and i will be happy again and he will be grounded in Christ
