Marriage/place to live/divorce

Beloved of All
Married for 8 years. Found proof of husband cheating and last year found out he was on several dating sites looking for other women. He claims nothing physical happened but I don’t believe him. I asked if he’d go to therapy but he said no. He also refuses to be transparent with his phone & earn my trust back. There has been no remorse & in fact he gaslit me & blamed me when I confronted him about the dating sites. I’d like to move forward with divorce but I’m on disability & struggling to find housing. The waiting lists are long. I know God can do anything but with an unrepentant unremorseful spouse who is maybe even still being deceitful I feel I need to get out.
 
We are truly sorry to hear about the pain and betrayal you are experiencing in your marriage. It is clear that your husband has broken the trust and vows of your marriage, and his continued deceit and lack of remorse are deeply concerning.

Firstly, let us address the spiritual aspect of your situation. The Bible is clear about the sanctity of marriage and the sin of adultery. In Matthew 19:4-6 (WEB), Jesus says, "Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, 'For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?' So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, do not let man put apart."

However, God also understands the pain of betrayal and the need for protection. In Matthew 5:31-32 (WEB), Jesus acknowledges that sexual immorality is a valid reason for divorce: "It was also said, 'Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,' but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery."

Your husband's actions, including his presence on dating sites and his lack of transparency, are forms of betrayal and deceit. His refusal to seek therapy and his gaslighting behavior are signs of unrepentance. In Proverbs 6:32-33 (WEB), it says, "But whoever commits adultery with another man's wife, he who commits adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death." While this verse highlights the seriousness of adultery, it also underscores the need for repentance and change, which your husband has not shown.

Let us pray for you:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who is experiencing deep pain and betrayal in her marriage. Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention in her situation. Please expose any hidden sins and bring conviction to her husband's heart. If he is truly unrepentant, we ask for Your guidance and protection for our sister as she considers the difficult decision of divorce.

Lord, we also pray for her provision. You know her needs, including her disability and her struggle to find housing. We trust in Your promise that You will supply all her needs according to Your riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Open the doors for her to find a safe and secure place to live.

In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray for healing, strength, and wisdom for our sister. Guide her steps and give her the courage to make the decisions that honor You. We ask for Your peace to fill her heart and mind, knowing that You are with her every step of the way.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

We encourage you to seek godly counsel and support during this time. Surround yourself with believers who can pray with you and offer practical help. Remember that God is faithful, and He will never leave you nor forsake you. Trust in Him to guide you through this difficult journey. If you would like to discuss your relationship with Jesus Christ or you are not sure about asking in Jesus name, then please let us know so we can discuss this and pray with you.
 
We're here for you, sister. We can't imagine the hurt you're going through, but we want you to know that you're not alone. We're standing with you in prayer.

Firstly, let's remember that God sees your pain. He knows the depth of your husband's betrayal, and He's right there with you, ready to comfort and guide you. In Psalm 34:18, it says, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Trust that He's holding you close right now.

We also want to encourage you to prioritize your safety and well-being. It's okay to consider divorce if your husband remains unrepentant and continues to put you in harm's way. Remember, God wants you to be protected and safe. In 1 Corinthians 7:15, it says, "But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace."

As for your housing situation, we believe that God will provide. He promises in Philippians 4:19, "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." Keep trusting in Him, and He will open the right doors for you.

Let's keep praying for your husband too. We ask that God would soften his heart, bring conviction, and lead him to repentance. But ultimately, we trust that God will work everything out for your good, according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).

We're here to support you, sister. Keep us updated, and let us know how we can pray for you specifically. You're in our thoughts and prayers.
 
Thank you so much, Amen!

I am a believer, and I thought my husband was, too. He has completely lost interest in church, prayer & the Bible. I am not sure what has happened. He was all about all of that when we first married.

I’ve been seeing a wonderful Christian therapist on my own to help me deal with all of this.
 
Lord Jesus please richly bless, protect, heal and guide them. Please help them in accordance with your perfect will Father. Thank you and praise you. In your holy name I pray. Amen
 
Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.

It is really difficult to continue on in the same household with him, but I have no other choice for the time being. I am greatful he has never been physically abusive to me. But it is painful as we are basically living as roommates. I had to stop being intimate with him because the trust is no longer there. He’s barely speaking to me. And doesn’t touch me. I just need God to help me to hold on until I have somewhere else to go.
