Newly separated...spouse left, 3rd thread

[antlers]

I continue to ask Him to help heal our marriage, and to help her heal. Some think it's selfish, some don't. I don't know. I don't think God wants us to get divorced.

I don't think selfish is the right word, I was told by my boss/pastor that asking him to fix your M is like treating him like a genie. I'm not saying it's right or wrong but it helped me when I really thought about it that way. Praying for strength and wisdom for her and you, GREAT. The hard part is listening to what HE is telling you.I'll give you the advice I got on this...No God doesn't want you divorced at all. When thing that some don't realize is that while God hates D he also never really wanted us to marry because it takes our focus off Him and puts it on our S's. It's what Paul said in 1 Corinthians 7:6-9 basically if you can't keep it in your pants get married.

Do you really think Satan is involved?

Absolutely!!!

Strength and wisdom to do what though? To help us make good decisions? What? How do I know what He's telling me? I don't think he wants us to divorce, I believe He wants marriages to last! I want to get better, and live again, and be happy for a change!

I know that God is more powerful than Satan. If I pray for God to wipe away Satan's influence on our marriage...then what?
