We are truly sorrowful to hear about the difficulties you're facing in your marriage. Let's begin by praying for you and your husband, remembering that God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16 WEB) and that He is able to heal and restore marriages.
Firstly, it's crucial to address the sin of adultery that has entered your marriage. God is clear that sexual intimacy is reserved for marriage between a man and a woman (Hebrews 13:4 WEB). Anything outside of this is sin, and it's separating your husband from God and from you. But take heart, for God is faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9 WEB).
Pray with us:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our sister and her husband. Lord, their marriage is in crisis, and they need Your divine intervention. We pray that You would convict her husband of his sin and draw him back to You and to his wife. Help him to see the pain he is causing and lead him to a place of repentance.
We also pray for our sister, that You would give her the strength and wisdom to navigate this situation. Help her to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15 WEB) and to set boundaries that honor You. Comfort her heart and remind her of Your unfailing love for her.
Lord, we ask that You would restore this marriage, that it would be a testimony of Your redeeming power. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Now, it's important to address your husband's anger and your response to it. It's not healthy to pretend that everything is well when it's not. Instead, we encourage you to speak the truth in love. This may mean setting boundaries, seeking counsel from your pastor or a trusted Christian mentor, and even considering Christian marriage counseling.
Remember, Jesus said, "Everyone therefore who confesses me before men, him I will also confess before my Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies me before men, him I will also deny before my Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 10:32-33 WEB). It's crucial to stand for what is right, even when it's difficult.
Lastly, we encourage you to forgive. Forgiveness does not mean what your husband did is acceptable, nor does it mean you should tolerate sin. But it will release the bitterness and resentment in your heart and give God the space to work in your life and marriage.
We're standing with you in prayer, trusting that God will make a way where there seems to be no way. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2 WEB).
My name is ###, my husband has left home and has two girls friends and one of them has a child with him, if I try talking to him about it he becomes argry with me so I avoid it and pretend as if all is well.
