You will def. be in my prayers, you and your husband. there is an awesome movie out called the Love dare, my husband and I watched it on out hunnie moon, we have had loads of problems similar to yours, and it is amazing you can also get the book to go with it, it is also online for the love dare book and you can log in to read each dare for that day. It is not easy and it is challenging but the changes are amazing!!!

Marraige is worth the fight !!You have done the right thing,to exspose it !!You know it was a plot from the enemy.You sound like you have taken the right steps toward forgivness.It is a process. That relationship can be restored.....But it will take God to do it .Keep the faith .Let him direct your path.Iam maaried to a retired Marine ....I know it's not easy.

I'll pray for you guys. My parents went through a similar experience. The unfaithful part was just on one side though. Anyways God helped them through it and they are more in love and more Christ Like people than they ever were and they just recently celebrated their 26th Anniversary. So hang in there. God can work miracles. God Bless You Both!

Hey Shenell!
All I can say is that the road to recovery that you and your husband are (In Jesus) is truly the way. Not trying to sound religious but in Christ we are in relationship, and trust me I know Jesus can heal and save a marriage if we allow him too, and if we cooperate with Him in the process. How do I know? Because He did the same thing for me and my husband. Be encouraged and know that God is with you all the way, through the good days, and the days when the "old stuff" will try to come against you. Take one day at a time, read the Word and pray together consistently. We believe Jesus right now for a MIGHTY Work Of DELIVERANCE!

thankyou ashley for your encouraging words.i did have to make some changes in the way i treated my husband and as a result i've seen some changes in his behavior

I am glad to hear that yall are pushing together to make it work people say its 50 % 50% relationship but its not its 100% 100% relationship . Me and my husband had alot of prblems too, but we realized that if we didnt stand together we would fall A house divided against its self cant stand, if you fall the other will be there to pick you up. But it starts with ourselves checking our thought talk and our additude. We cant change our spouse but we can affect them by good changes we make in our walk.Stay in prayer when you face the same diffculties in wanting to cling to someone else besides your wife( check to make sure the void that u are trying to fill is not the missed time in prayer) your victory lies on your knees in prayer and Gods word, we cant do it by our selves but we can do it through christ who strengths us in our inner man. Its a choice evry day is a new day old things are past away and behold all things are new, you cant forget but you can forgive and move past it by gods help and guidance. I hope this has helped you and yall will be in our prayers.

Quoting shenell:

that was an awesome prayer a perfect word victoria i e-mailed it to my husband as soon as i read it thankyou

I'm so glad that it was able to touch another family. Thank you for the encouragment. I love to hear when my sisters & their families are blessed, because of something God priviliage me to be a part of. I wonder if my brother-in-law knew that God would use his email to touch others who weren't on the mailing list today.

This was sent to me today, by my brother-in-law, who emails out daily prayers to all his born-again friends & family. I hope you find it to be encouraging. I sure did.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails.
(1 Corinthians 13 4-8a)

Always protects? Always trusts? Always perseveres? NEVER fails? I don't know about you, but I don't do so well when I compare my behavior to those standards. However, the perfect vision of love portrayed in 1 Corinthians 13 is a picture of the love that God has for you and for me. What we do in our marriages, and other relationships, is to try to reflect that love. But it is like a reflection in a pool of water - slightly distorted, not perfect, but the image is there.

Lord Jesus,
Grant that I and my spouse may have a true
and understanding love for each other.

Grant that we may both
be filled with faith and trust.

Give us the grace to live
with each other in peace and harmony.

May we always bear with one another’s weaknesses
and grow from each other’s strengths.

Help us to forgive one another’s failings
and grant us patience, kindness, cheerfulness
and the spirit of placing the well-being
of one another ahead of self.

May the love that brought us together
grow and mature with each passing year.

Bring us both ever closer to You
through our love for each other.

Let our love grow to perfection.
Amen.

thankyou so much for your encouraging words ms watkins and yes me and my hubby has started praying together asking God what we want in our marriage going to counseling with our pastors and keeping God first.we are getting along great i have my ups and downs but over all my husband is a good man and he's worth the fight thanx again

Kisha - posted on 09/27/2009

First let me say that I'm sorry you and hubby are going through this and I'm praying for you.

Second, remember the enemy doesn't like family, actually he hates it, in particular both you are christians. So you have to go back to your vows, better or for worse. And this is the worse of times. Just continue to pray for you, your husband and your marriage. Get specifc with your prayers, tell God what you want and need. Also tell your husband the same. Keep that line of communication open always. Also, surround yourself with positive married couples. Talk to those couples that have been married for years and ask them how they got pass through their tough times and I"m quite sure they have had some tough times. And again remember this is what the enemy wants, and do not give him what he wants.
