My marriage is falling apart.
I met my husband in 2007 when I went to Ghana for my sister’s engagement. We dated for just a couple of months and I moved back home to Ghana and we got married. I got pregnant and had a beautiful baby girl. She’s almost 2 years. My husband had already been divorce from his previous marriage with 3 boys 10 years ago. I love the boys like they are mine. Everything has been good but recently things have been bad. I must admit part of it is my fault. I became very angry and got in a bad mood which made me complain about anything that didn’t feel right to me. We are facing financial difficulties and I believe not working also got me to become angry. I also recently discovered that my weight gain is also a part of my behavior. I didn’t like the way I looked so I developed a low self esteem which brought about all of my mood swings and anger. I’m just letting you know what I did wrong but my husband also did quite some wrong stuff and I do believe the Holy Spirit will work on him separately. I need to focus on working on myself now. I have started working on my weight and also drawn nearer to God because I know He is the only one who can take something bad, fix it and make it look good. I recently came back to the state to visit my sisters. Our marriage is on a brick of falling apart. My husband said he is emotionally exhausted and wants his space. He told me that he will not call me because he doesn’t want to hear my voice and we can talk through the email. I need your help to pray for us. I am trying to obey his wishes by not calling him but I do believe this is not the way to restore a marriage. Please pray for me that God will touch our hearts and heal the marriage. I’m in need of God’s unconditional Love. I’m hurting so bad and I need to have peace in the mist of this storm. Please pray for us.

Let go and let God, sounds easy yet i know how hard it can be..............we really CAN'T do anything on our own that's how things go wrong, put your trust in Him, use this time to seek His face and draw near to Him He is in control He want's only the best for us all sometimes it doesn't look that way....trust in His timing, He is working on both of you, He is for marriage.Enter His rest. Ephesians 17-23 & 2 Corinthians 10-4..God blessyou all

I have been born again today, after also having marriage problems due completely from my emotional instability. My wife told me a few days ago she wanted a divorce (and has just cause) and since then, my life has crumbled. I have two little girls and the thought of not living with them had me, until today, very suicidal. Thank YOU JESUS for relieving me of my terrible sins, forgiving me, loving me, and letting me know I'll be OK regardless of future events, whatever they are. I am praying for you Mayviss.
Please pray for me too.

Thanks,
Gary

Rejoice in the LORD always! It is so wonderful to know that our Father hears our prayers and that every prayer that we pray according to His Will is answered.

Mayviss,

God hates divorce. He will restore your marriage. Practice patience and faith in the meantime.

Gary,

The angels in heaven rejoice over the salvation of your soul. I also rejoice in a new sibling!!! Continue to hold fast to your new found faith and know that He desires to see your success in every area of your life.

I'm going throught the same thing. I don't know whether to not conversate with my wife at all while He's working on putting us back together. God told me He's going to fix it I just don't want to get in the way or mess anything up.

Speak kindly to your wife as you wait for the LORD to put the two of you back together. Don't preach at her and don't give her the silent treatment unless the LORD instructs you to keep quiet. Wives don't take silence from their husbands as a good sign. Remember that women are relational and conversing is the number one mode of communication in relationships.
