      I’m with you 100%. I wasn’t the best husband I should’ve been. I messed up in many, many ways. However, I’ve given my life to God and hoping and praying I can get my wife back. We have been separated for 8 months now. What would’ve been our 7th anniversary was 3 days ago. All I can do is think of her and our kids. I rub her pillow every night wishing she was beside me…Continue to pray for my strength and our restoration 🙏🏾❤️

    My husband of 38 years was having a affair and gaslighting me to leave and go back to Alabama so they could have everything. He has turned my children , he has no children against me. Making them believe his lies. I’m disabled unable to work. God has kept my needs met. I am a broken woman. Divorce is still going on it’s been almost two years. He is a very manipulative man and disregards anything the judge says. Please pray for me.

      Continue to pray through your pain. Talk to the Lord everyday. He will vindicate you. Pray for your husband and children and trust God to do the rest. When we go through trials we have to focus on the goodness of God and not our circumstances. This is what I try to do everyday. It's not your fault evil people take advantage of your goodness. Keep listening to Christian videos, read scripture and focus on Jesus. Praying for you

      Smartness is important in a relationship and cyberhackinggenius helped cloned my husband’s phone and I got access to all his dealings both on phone and social media without touching his phone. All I did was share my husband’s phone number with cyberhackinggenius and I was able to read both his new and deleted messages from my phone without having to touch his phone. My husband was a cheating Narcissist and I’m glad to find out all his secrets and infidelity with the help of cyberhackinggenius. I’m here in UK and able to access my husband’s phone messages with a link on my phone even while he was away in Canada cheating on me. I got to discover that my husband who is legally married to me here in UK is also recently married to another woman in Canada and I’m finally going through a divorce with lots of evidence against him. I read all his Whatsapp, Facebook,Skype,Instagram and Snapchat messages Including the deleted text and recent messages. You can contact this great Hacker Gavin via Gmail (cyberhackinggenius) or text and speak to him directly on his phone and WhatsApp : +19256795146 and don’t forget to thank me later.

    I didn't want the divorce. My husband turned 50 and told me he wanted to be single. We were married for 10 1/2 years and he walked out. I was a good wife. I was faithful to him. He came back a few months later and said he would come back if we could have an "open" marriage. I told him that I wanted a "real" marriage or no marriage. No extra relationships on the side! I am an old fashioned lady and won't be any other way. I have been very hurt and disappointed by this divorce.

      You will have another opportunity for marriage, but with a worthy spouse, during the millennial reign of Christ. For the bride of Christ will become joint rulers - true marriage covenants are eternal. See 1 Peter 3:7 take note when a married couple lives up to the Lord's standards of marriage will be "heirs together" - then read Romans 8:15-18

    The biggest no fault divorce is said because they fell out of love with each other. You don't fall out of love, you stop working on it, you dedication, your commitment, your love. That was my problem and I almost walked away because I let myself have feelings for someone else. He asked me to give it 2 months, until our 10th anniversary. We prayed, we cried, I found God, and we found each other gain. That was 19 years ago and I am thankful every day God sent a man that lets God guide him. I shudder to think what I was willing to walk away from.

      That's when you know that she chose the world over God's word! The enemy is out to destroy as many marriages as he can. I'm literally trying to save my marriage and we are separated. Separation doesn't mean you can do what you want and start having affairs. In God eyes, you both are married no matter how you look at it and you are going against his word. When people get to a point and stop fearing God, that's when you know the enemy is attached and trying to hold on to destroy the marriage so they can satisfy their own worldly pleasures!! I'm hoping that my wife will come around to her senses and realize that we both need other, forgive and let's do what is required by Christ. I really hope that you and your wife marriage was saved 🙏

    3. Divine illustration
    4. A legal relationship established by GOD
    5. A DIVINE CONVENANT
    6. Only GOD can break CONVENANT
    7. MARRIAGE is a legal CONVENANTAL agreement that only GOD can divorce.

However, death is also defined as "spiritual death" that's how I was mentally freed. He was Spiritually dead!!!

      @blessedone6879 Před 7 lety +22

      Sorry Penny that's not true, in that passage it's referring to physical death, You never stay in an abusive situation where you are in harms way, you can leave that situation but not divorce, just remain unmarried or be reconciled to your husband. God could save him and change his life. I know of situations where the woman left the abuse but she never remarried, even after the spouse died. As long as you don't remarry. your'e not in sin. Everyone that carries the title of A prophetess is not Spirit led. the bible says try the spirits to see if they are of God. If the person speaking and the Word doesn't agree the person is wrong. The Word of God is Truth...

      Penny, you are wrong. Death is dead in the grave! God said it is until death and He is the only one who decides. For abuse you can leave and remain single or else be reconciled. Remarriage is adultery. I have a playlist of over 40 videos teaching the truth of the permanence of marriage.

    My ex husband was extremely abusive and cheated throughout our entire relationship.
    He had two children with two different women during our relationship. I tried to stay in the marriage several times, however once the physical abuse began I just couldn’t find the strength to stay in a relationship with him. As I listen to this message, I get that once you are married that you are supposed to stay with your spouse. However, was I supposed to stay in that chaos for the sake of the covenant? I have accomplished so much more since not being in the marriage with my ex-husband. The only thing I haven’t been blessed with is a husband. As I am writing this I think I have answered my own question. I have forgiven him for the things that he did in the marriage that led to the divorce, and trust me I wasn’t no angel either. However, I am ready to remarry and move on with my life. How do I get to being married again?

      NOT UNDER “BONDAGE”…….
      If the unbelieving depart..... let him depart. A brother or sister is not under the bondage of servitude [Greek word Douloo] because of the separation, but should intercede for the salvation of the departed one, praying for his/her salvation and for reconciliation.
      A Testimony from a Sister in Christ :
      Quote :
      But just to be clear, here is something I recently discovered:
      I finally looked up the Greek and compared what Paul said about a woman being bound to her husband as long as he lives (1 Corinthians 7:39), and how when the unbelieving spouse leaves, the other spouse is not 'bound' in such circumstances (1 Cor. 7:15). Did you know that 'bound' is two different Greek words in these verses?
      1 Corinthians 7:39 A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord.
      'bound' is the Greek verb 'deo'
      deó: to tie, bind
      Original Word: δέω
      Part of Speech: Verb
      Transliteration: deó
      Phonetic Spelling: (deh'-o)
      Short Definition: I bind
      Definition: I bind, tie, fasten; I impel, compel; I declare to be prohibited and unlawful.
      NAS Exhaustive Concordance
      Word Origin
      a prim. verb
      Definition
      to tie, bind
      NASB Translation
      bind (7), binding (1), binds (2), bound (23), imprisoned (4), prisoners (1), put...in chains (1), tied (4).
      Now, in 1 Corinthians 7:15 But if the unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace.
      'bound' is the Greek word 'douloo'
      1402. douloó ►
      Strong's Concordance
      douloó: to enslave, bring under subjection
      Original Word: δουλόω
      Part of Speech: Verb
      Transliteration: douloó
      Phonetic Spelling: (doo-lo'-o)
      Short Definition: I enslave
      Definition: I enslave.
      HELPS Word-studies
      Cognate: 1402 doulóō - enslave (passive, "become enslaved"), focusing on the status of being a bond-slave. In contrast to the other verb-form of the same root (1398 /douleúō), 1402 (doulóō) stresses the results (effects) of enslavement. That is, what automatically goes with belonging to another. See 1401 (doulos).
      So there is a difference between the bond between a husband and wife (for life) and this being 'bound' or 'under bondage'.
      So I am still bound to my husband (married in God's eyes, no matter what man says), but not under bondage to him. He does not rule over me, but I am not free to marry someone else because he is still my husband.
      It is interesting that Paul says these two things in the same chapter
      First he says the believer is not 'bound' under the circumstance of their unbelieving spouse leaving them, and then he says that a wife is 'bound' to her husband as long as he is still living. It seems to contradict, but it doesn't. It's a different word. - Ricky B
      -
      “Not Bound”, No, HAS not been enslaved ( PAST TENSE! )
      Kehillah in Corinth I 7:14-16 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)
      14 For, [T.N. following the principle of bikkurim], the ba’al who is an Apikoros is mekudash b’Ruach Hakodesh (set apart as holy in the Ruach Hakodesh) by the isha, and the isha who is an Apikoros likewise by the Ach b’Moshiach; otherwise, your yeladim are tema’im (unclean); but now they are tehorim (clean). [MALACHI 2:15]
      15 But, if the one who is an Apikoros(apostate- a person who renounces a religious or political belief or principle) separates and departs, let the separation occur; the Ach b’Moshiach(brothers in Moshiach) HAS not been enslaved(past tense), or the Achot b’Moshiach(sister in Moshiach) in such cases; but Hashem ('the Name’)- is used to refer to God, particularly as an epithet for the Tetragrammaton, when avoiding God's more formal title, Adonai ('my master’).)has given you a kri’ah b’shalom(calling peace).
      16 For how do you know, isha(woman), if you will not bring your basherter (destined mate), your ba’al(Husband), to Yeshu’at Eloheinu (the Salvation of our G-d)?

      Abuse in Marriage people say there are gray areas what about abuse well the bible DOES talk about it! Why have we never seen this or our pastors talked about it?
      1 Peter 2:18 Slaves, in reverent fear of God SUBMIT yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are HARSH. 19 For it is commendable if someone bears up under the PAIN OF UNJUST SUFFERING because they are conscious of God. 20 But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. 21 TO THIS YOU WERE CALLED, BECAUSE CHIST SUFFERED FOR YOU, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.
      22
      “He committed no sin,
 and no deceit was found in his mouth.”[e]
      23 When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly. 24 “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” 25 For “you were like sheep going astray,”[f] but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
      1 Peter 3 New International Version (NIV)
      3 WIVES, IN THE SAME WAY submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, 2 when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. 3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. 4 Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. 5 For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands, 6 like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
      7 Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.
      1 Peter 4:Living for God
      4 Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin.
      God said you can separate but MUST REMAIN SINGLE OF BE RECONCILED!!

You continue to speak out with your mouth and declare and decree that she is a proverbs 31 wife of noble character ECT... When it is hopeless praise God! When it looks impossible praise God! Because that is situation He wants to use for his Glory! Do NOT listen to people saying she has her free will and has to want to change!!! Did Jonah have his free will? He ran from God and look what happened! Did Saul have His free will? And who did he become? A new man from a murder to Pual the greatest apostle. Did pharo have his free will and God said HE hardened his heart for His glory! Did king Nebenekanezzar have His free will? And God made him like an animal for 7 years and then God gave him back his mind and he submitted to God! “God moved king Saul’s heart” in 1 Samuel 10:9 and the “valiant men whose heart God had touched” in 1 Sam 10:26. Deuteronomy2:30 God made Sinohn king of Heshbon spirit and heart change for his glory-“The Lord your God has made his spirit stubborn and his heart obstinate in order to give him into your hands, as He has now done.”
      Jeremiah 24:7
      'I will give them a heart to know Me, for I am the LORD; and they will be My people, and I will be their God, for they will return to Me with their whole heart.
      Proverbs 21:1 The Lord holds the kings heart in His hand and like the waters of the rivers, He Turns it Every Way He Wishes!
      Did not God move in in the nation of Israels hearts and put his spirit in them Ezekiel 36 and breath into the dead dry bones in Ezekiel 37? Didn't God move in King Cyrus's heart to let His people go? Ezra 1:5 The the family heads of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and Levites-everyone whose heart God had moved!!- prepared to go up and build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem. Didn't Jesus come and bring Lazareth out of the grave when they said if you had of come sooner Jesus he would not have died...He is body is stinking now no hope!!! And THEN Jesus spoke life into him and brought the dead back to life! He is just looking for someone to have the faith to believe what is in the Bible. Will you?
