"I've been standing for my marriage for almost two years. Me and my husband were baptized again and renewed our vows the beginning of this year although we've been living apart for al this time. I did not honor my husband as the head of the house for most of the 20 years we've been married. There has been numerous other women as they uplifted him like I should have. Two years ago I was diagnosed with Parkinsons and Lupus on top of my husband moving in with the other women. At the time they were not having an affair. He fell in love with her while staying with her for five months until we could buy a house and move away from my mother. We were living on her property which was a big part of our marital problems. We only stayed together about one month before he told me to move out or he will move back to the other women. I moved in with my mother for nearly 3 months before moving in to a bachelor's flat. That was when we renewed our vows and got baptized again. I was going to move back but my husband got very scared and refused to let me move back. It was then I found out that he was still having an affair with the other women. He has now told me that they are just friends and he wants to let God work in him to make him free so that he can not hurt anyone again. He has pushed me away and claims to have done the same with the other women but I do not believe him. I've been working through your books as recommended and I am asking God to give me peace and to keep me silent. I have asked for Him to change me according to His purpose for me. I am however struggling with anxiety and depression lately but I do believe that God has healed me from my illnesses. I also believe that God will restore my marriage and deliver my husband from the bondage the enemy has over him. My husband seems to want to divorce me in order for me to buy myself a place to stay and for him to get healed. The way I am living at the moment forces me to see my husband often which does not help the healing process. I believe for us both to heal and for God to work in him I need to step out of the way. The only way to do that is to get divorced but I do not feel at peace about it. I'm seeing a lawyer on Tuesday but that is creating anxiety in me. I do not want to get divorced and want my husband to make that decision. I guess I am hoping that if I actually go and see a lawyer he will not want to go ahead with the divorce. I am praying for a miracle as I am so tired of this situation and feeling rejected. I miss my husband terribly. Please could you pray with me and offer some biblical advice."
I too experienced similar pain when my marriage fell apart, you are not alone in your pain. Many women are lost and searching for answers. My husband also had OW in his life but when I finally gave up and let go, and turned to the Lord, I found so much peace. I know it’s not easy, and I’ve failed many, many times myself. The enemy wants us to think we’ll never make it but we can ask for forgiveness and try again.

His Word does say that He hates divorce. He has all the control and with Him ALL things are possible.
Please move on to our many courses found here at Hope At Last https://hopeatlast.com/c1/ and be sure to journal the lesson.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted. He saves those whose spirits have been crushed.” Ps3418
Your Beloved longs to be close to you and He wants to heal you from all the pain you are experiencing right now. Trust that He can heal you and make this relationship a priority first and everything else will come together after. He loves you and He wants to help you through this.
Dear precious sister, you need to let go of your lawyer so that you can fully trust in the Lords for HIS plan… not yours… for your life and marriage. The most FREEING thing l learned at the beginning of my journey when l came to this ministry is to LET GO and & let the Lords will be done. Its soooo tiring trying to figure everything out and overthinking things when you can have the freedom of letting go and give it to Him to take care of. This will also develop your closer intimate relationship with Him which is why you are being faced with so much trials, difficulties and uncertainties. Its what HE uses to get our attention.
I see you mentioned getting divorced but you dont feel right about it. I just completed our Facing Divorce course and l know that you will be amazed once you read it. You will know the truth that will set you free. https://hopeatlast.com/c3/facing-divorce-course/
Dear Lovely Bride,
I am sorry that you are hurting so bad right now. I have been in a similar situation as my EH left me for AW as well. It was the hardest thing to go through, but I received the greatest gift out of it, Him. This journey will not be easy but it will help heal you from all your pain. It is time to let go and focus on a new relationship with Him. Take the time to start the courses and journal from your heart. Soon this will be what excites you to wake up every morning. Little by little your heart will heal and you will experience a new Love. Trust me when I say you will never be the same, He is waiting for you. Be encouraged. 😊
”“Fear not; you will no longer live in shame. Don’t be afraid; there is no more disgrace for you. You will no longer remember the shame of your youth and the sorrows of widowhood. For your Creator will be your husband; the Lord of Heaven’s Armies is his name! He is your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, the God of all the earth. For the Lord has called you back from your grief— as though you were a young wife abandoned by her husband,” says your God.“
