I'm a believer. But I have to say, my prayers changed over time. Instead of asking God to help H "see the light" and restore the M, I just prayed for the guidance to know what to do, and the strength to deal with what was going to come, regardless of what way it went. Much like the serenity prayer.
I came to believe that God (or, if you will, "the universe" AK) has good things coming my way, so if that does NOT include H (remember that our spouses have FREE WILL and might not listen to the big guy) then I ahve faith that God has something else cool for me around the corner.
Well said. I continually remind myself of this as well. The good Lord can point our wayward spouses in the right direction, send countless "messengers" to show them the way, but in the end they have the free will to ignore all of it and go down their own lost separate path.
SMW - stay the course you have chosen for you and your children. I for one believe you are on the right path. It will remain to be seen whether your H decides to join you or not, either way in the end you will be in a better place.
