what does everyone think about divorce when your husband doesn't love you anymore and disrespects you constantly and I have been seperated for over a year now. I am staying together for my two daughters but it is feeling like a divorce without paper work already. He doesn't have a job and has no wanting of getting one in the future. He doesn't know what to do with the relationship and has no answers when we talk about it. What does everyone think I should do? stay together for the kids or divorce my husband to finally be free from the emotional abuse?

Just because you're married to him doesn't mean you can't get on with your life. He obviously wants you to take care of him seeing as he has given up all responsibility of being a productive human being. He refuses counseling, church, and to give you answers. My advice would be to open up a banking account in your name only and start saving your earnings for yourself and your children. He can't be supported if he has no income. Unless he's willing to change and you are the sole breadwinner not a cent of your hard earned money should be in his hands. That will get him to give you answers really quick! God hates divorce and the only reason for it is unfaithfulness on his behalf. Also, prayer for his heart to change is also the solution

Tough one... hard to say... biblically speaking, divorce is only permitted if your spouse commits adultery. Even so, you will have a wide variety of opinions. Maybe Patricia Ashley's testimony might give you some help/insight? :( You can get it from Focus on the Family.

Edit: To be honest, at this point, all you can really do is turn to God. Your husband may not join you but if you seek God first with all your heart, things usually fall into place.

Dear peaches,

Your husband has turned away from Gods, but you have not!!!!
"The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you."(psalms 9:9-10)

As long as you have faith and believe, the desires of your hert will be granted to you. Pray for your husband to come closer to faith in God.
Blessings.
