C2H, i have read a couple of books. i have read "hope for the separated" and "when the vow breaks" and also "the 5 love languages: how to express heartfelt commitment to your mate". they are all wonderful books.
i do believe that seeds are being sown. we went to church yesterday together. the sermon was excellent, "getting ready for church". he talked about doing 3 things: 1. do a head check (mind set) 2. do a heart check 3. do a HIS check very powerful message. W was reading along and got to a verse that talks about D. she didn't realize that when someone actually divorces and marries another that they are both committing adultery. i am glad that she saw that. i really don't know how much she is paying attention to the daily devotions. she is usually putting her makeup on while i am the one reading. i can only trust that the Lord is talking with her and that she become obedient to His word. this weekend was good. no problems. she actually opened up to me on friday about OM2. he started to smother her and become obsessive. she told him to stop. i think that she is still talking, but there is nothing that i can do but pray.
thank you for the prayers. she has filed the papers by mail, praying that they get lost by the post office.
Trent, sorry for the delay on this thread. I reiterate- planting "seeds" is always good. Yet we do not cast pearls...it is an interesting balance. When the heart is becoming "hardened" to the things of God, I think the ear simply becomes more deaf and it is better to pray and let God, through circumstances and other people do His work to try to bring the straying sheep back into the fold.
Re Christian divorce and remarriage, most betraying spouses who think about the remarriage scenario rationalize away what the Word actually has to say about it. Or, through selective hearing, they do not "hear" God calling it adultry.
Keep praying and let Him, influence her through His devine and perfect plan. C2H
