My husband of two years is a truck driver and two days ago he called me and told me that he was not in love with me and that he tried to look past his feelings, but he could not any more and that our marriage is over. I have gone through every emotion I think there is, but I am truely lost.

Sandi, sorry to hear that.

I'm sure you'll get some advice and encouragement here.

To start off, can you tell us:

1. Are you a Christian (truly born again by the Spirit of God)?

2. Is he?

3. Are you guys plugged into a church?

I have always thought of myself as a christian, but I was not brought up with religion and I have no guidance on what I really need to do. I beleive that the lord is my saviour. My husband is the same. I do not have a church and do not know how to find a church.

I think I am a christian, but confused on how to do so. I was not brought up in a family with religion at all and I'm lost on what I need to do. No my husband is not a christian. I do not know how to find a church. I feel embarrased for being to ignorant and ashamed I have waited so long.

Sandi sometimes God allows things like this to happen so that we will seek Him... you know?

I mean, many of us -- maybe all of us -- wouldn't seek God in a million years if everything in our life was all hunky-dory, you know?

The most important thing Sandi is not your marriage. I know it's important to you, and it's actually important to God too -- but the most important thing is your relationship with Him. You really need to know where you stand with the Lord, and you need to have absolute assurance about it, and a changed life to back up that assurance.

And I don't believe you can fix your marriage without God anyway.

With God, it's possible. But even if it's not fixed (because your husband may not follow God even if you do), you walk away with something better: absolute assurance that you belong to Him, the one who will never leave you nor forsake you.

I think we should deal with your relationship/standing with the Lord first, and then we can look at what guidance God's word has for your situation.
