Now, please tell us about your situation and why you have come to us for help and what has your husband/partner said are the main issues or problems he has with you and your relationship? |
My husband and I have been married for 12 years and we have been struggling ever since. My husband has always been involved with OW and he is still very much in love with his first love with whom he communicates daily. I have become controlling and selfish over the years now we rarely have intimacy or even communicate as we should....not sure where we are headed. I have made him my idol. |
Please use the space below to simply speak to God, in your own words, pouring your heart out to Him. |
Lord You are amazing and I love you. I come before you with a contrite heart and seek your forgiveness for not being the wife my husband needs and who you have called me to be. As I struggle with the challenges in my marriage please help me to mature in you, help me to put my trust and faith in you who is the God of the impossible and not on what my husband is doing. Lord you said without faith it is impossible to please you and so I am asking you to help, to help us to heal us....lord make this marriage a new creation in Christ, one in which your glory shines through. I pray lord that you would give my.husband a renewed mind and heart that is after your own that you would help us to see each other and our marriage in the way you do. Forgive me lord, I repent of every sin and ask for your help and guidance. Pull my heart closer to yours and reveal your glory through my marriage. |

Dear Bride,
It touches my heart to hear about the situation in your marriage. I too have struggled with the controlling behavior in my marriage. My Heavenly Husband taught me to let go, which has given me so much peace and tranquility. I would encourage you to read the following lesson:

I also want to encourage you to read the book How God CAN and WILL restore your marriage.

Jeremia 29:11
Want Ik weet welke plannen Ik voor u heb,’ zegt de HERE. ‘Met deze plannen heb Ik uw geluk voor ogen, niet uw ongeluk. Ik wil u weer een toekomst en nieuwe hoop geven.
Thank you for your encouragement… having reading these stories i have realised a lot of this I have been doing wrong.
How do I let go off my husband if we are still living together?
Dear precious bride, I am so sorry for the hurt you went through as child. I want to encourage you to speak the promises of the Lord over your life because you mentioned a concern of depression. for years I too struggled with depression and speaking the promises of the Lord into my life, changed my life.
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. H4:12 – https://biblehub.com/hebrews/4-12.htm
I also want to encourage you to please start with Course 1 – https://hopeatlast.com/c1/ and to pour out your heart in the journals and put all your trust in the Lord and allow the Lord to lead you, while He will be the One to bring healing in every area of your life.
Dear, I too experienced similar pain when my marriage fell apart. I had no idea that I was building my marriage on sinking sand. You are not alone in your pain. Many women are lost and searching for answers.I hope you find the encouragement and the healing you need. I know what it’s like to feel lost and hopeless. 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 times myself. The enemy wants us to think we’ll never make it but we can ask for forgiveness and try again.

First read “How God Can and Will Restore” book which helped answer some of the questions as to why this is happening. I want to encourage you to not only read the book but please move on to our many courses found here at Hope At Last https://hopeatlast.com/rrr/ and be sure to journal the lessons.
“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.
