WOW...
So your god answers prayer on your timeline according to your decisions? HOW DO YOU KNOW... that he wife hasn't FINALLY got a good shaking from the Lord and is now coming to her senses???? HOW DO YOU KNOW that all the former prayers of the husband are not NOW coming to fruition?
I tell ya... I do think the wife is likely coming around and the traumatizing FEAR the husband is having is from the enemy to DRIVE HIM AWAY from the reconciliation.
I do encourage the husband to SEEK GOD in this matter and stop asking a bunch of bystanders who HAVE NO STAKE in you, your marriage or your future.

I'm not a professional at marriage neither am I very old. I'm 26. My husband and I went to a marriage conference at our church last week and the pastor spoke on divorce and what the bible speaks about marriage. He spoke the difference in a CONTRACT as a marriage and a COVENANT as a marriage. A contract is broken a COVENANT is not. He spoke about the bible saying our marriages, this day in age, most people treating them as contracts when God meant them as covenants. He said forgiveness is growth and if you don't forgive one another as God has forgiven you then you Will never grow as a couple. Compromising and communication are key. We were actually watching him on screen from one of our churches at a different location. He's a pastor and marriage counselor. Inbox me if you would like any information maybe I can help. I think you can actually watch them online.

You tried hard for 3 years (I believe you) .. separated for 2 years (a total of 5 years) .. with no signs of her wanting to fix things until now, a month from your court date ? I wouldn't trust her even a teeny weeny bit. Her motivation ? She's worried about what's going to happen to her after it's final IMO. Comes a time when it's time to move on .. even for a christian. I'd move forward and never look back .. in forgiveness, of course. But not in foolishness. Your feelings of sympathy and guilt are misplaced. They're likely what kept you there as long as you were.

I'm curious about what you mean by legitimate in God's eyes? I'm also struggling in my marriage. I've posted about it before. I'm a born again Christian. My husband is not. At this moment I am just being still. I know God hates divorce. But am I doing God's will by staying with somebody that's not a born again Christian? The reason why I'm asking about the legitimate comment is I've never heard that before. And it stood out to me. I wonder if my marriage would be considered legitimate.

I am going to tread very carefully here... MOST marriages ARE legitimate, some according to the Word of God are not. If you want to PM me for a dialogue you are invited to do so. If you prefer, we can also converse here in public forum, I am giving you an opportunity to decide how discreet you want to be.

Also I see Christian counseling is mentioned on here to others for help. I would be open to that but my husband is not. I think he thinks my belief is like a hobby. He likes to play basketball and video games. I like to read the bible, pray, talk about God, go to church, etc. He sees it as no big deal that we just have different "hobbies". Any advice is appreciated. Although keep in mind he isn't born again so if it involves him doing something he won't. I've suggested we pray or read the bible together. He says it's too boring.
Hey, guys... unless I read this wrong, this person just made one post and hasn't been back. And that was... weeks ago. Did I read that right? So all our good advice is going out the window. *sniffle*

Hello Covenants can actually be broken, as well. I think what your pastor meant (maybe!) was that contracts were legally binding, and covenant goes beyond "legal." Marriage is both a covenant and a contract (the legal part). Sadly, when divorce occurs, it's usually just making legal the fact that the covenant was broken long ago.
