I have been married for 22 years and although they have not been the greatest we still remained a family. There have been many arguments due to his family and daughter’s behavior. They are very disrespectful at times and it became harder for me to zip my lips.
We started growing apart from one another we slept in different rooms and hardly communicated with one another. He went overseas to work and we began to communicate more. It came to a screeching halt when his daughter and her 2 kids wanted to come visit.
I suggested to send her brother (my son) out to help with the kids on the planes she said yes, but 3 days later my husband called and said she got a friend to help instead of our son and he will buy the tickets. I questioned his decision and he exploded. He wasn’t really in his daughter life due to military and her mother. We only saw her summer and Christmas break.
She told him she never really felt love from him and now he is carrying around a lot of guilt and is trying to buy her love by sending her money constantly. He now wants a divorce because he needs to put her first and she will live with him because she now blames me for everything. I need prayer to hope he will see that Satan is using her to attack our marriage.
May God help and sustain you in what you are going through. Yes Satan and his minions the fallen angels only want to destroy the family, but God is more powerful and you can trust your future in His hands. Maybe show your husband Malachi 2.16 if it is helpful: “For the Lord God of Israel says that He hates divorce, for it covers one’s garment with violence,” says the Lord of hosts. “Therefore take heed to your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously.” (NKJV)
Also what Jesus said in Mark 10: 1 Then He arose from there and came to the region of Judea by the other side of the Jordan. And multitudes gathered to Him again, and as He was accustomed, He taught them again. 2 The Pharisees came and asked Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?” testing Him. 3 And He answered and said to them, “What did Moses command you?”
4 They said, “Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce, and to dismiss her.”
5 And Jesus answered and said to them, “Because of the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept. 6 But from the beginning of the creation, God ‘made them male and female.’ 7 ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, 8 and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”
Pray for God to soften the hearts of both your husband and his daughter/family to the truth, that they be not deceived. Place your trust and hope in Jesus Christ, His eternal kingdom, and His soon return.
Beloved of God be strong. God has a good plan for yr future not to harm you but for you to prosper. Love yourself be ready to go tell others about the love of God, then you will see the hand of God fixing your marriage. Nothing out of the plan of God will happen to your life. God wants to use you for broken marriages broken homes. How would you operate without a testimony? Read the story of Hannah.1Samuel1-9-10. My sister command the stars for war and let l heaven fight g for you in the name of Jesus. Midnight gate claim every evil spiritual gate confronting my life collapse like the walls of Jericho in the name of Jesus. Allow the Holy Spirit to operate in your life. Only not other Spirit read Isaiah 54. God loves you so much.
HI my friend in Christ…. Wow it amazes me how the enemy just wants to steal, kill and destroy our marriages…. I am sad to say that I too am going through a very difficult time in our marriage – but its only the enemy that is attacking my husbands Identity. The other morning in my prayer time I asked God to give me something to hold onto – something I know HE specifically wants me to know and I got the scripture 2 Tim 1:12….. ” I will not be ashamed for I know in whom I put my trust and I am convinced that He will/is able to sustain and protect everything He entrusted to me until the day He comes again…..
God entrusted this marriage to you and HE WILL sustain and protect your marriage for HIS glory.
This is my prayer for you in Jesus Mighty Name – Amen
You are not alone, I have a very similar situation.I will be praying for you,hope to hear the good news soon.
