My marriage has been 7 yrs of heartache. My husband is not saved. He has not been a very good husband. He has had struggles with drugs and alcohol, among other things. Due to all of those problems we separated 3 yrs ago and during that separation God saved me and put into me a true love for my husband and a desire to save my marriage that I had never known. I felt so strongly that God would use my testimony to reach my husband. God did such a work in me and gave me such a passion for marriage that I have even ministered to other women in failing marriages. I was so confident that one day, my husband would be saved and all the pain and suffering that I endured with him would be well worth it. We also have two children together, 7 and 5.
Well at the beginning of the year I found out my husband was having an affair. We were immediately divorced. Two months later he tells me he wants God in his life, and he wants our family back together. So we started talking and trying to reconcile and talked about remarriage. About a month ago, he tells me that the woman he had left me for is pregnant, actually conceiving while we were still married. He says he wants to be a part of the baby's life, but wants to remarry me. Now I don't know what to do. I have prayed and prayed over this, but either I'm hurting so badly that I can't hear God, or God has chosen to remain silent. He's not giving me any direction on what to do and I want more than anything to be in the center of His Will for my life. Is God trying to show me that my husband will never change and continue to make poor choices that hurt his family, or could it be the other way and God is going to use what looks to be a hopeless situation for His Glory? I just don't know about anything anymore. I hurt so badly I think sometimes the pain in my heart will kill me. Just hoping that someone can give me an objective opinion backed by scripture. Thanks.
