my marriage is in ruins. it seems like i'm up against the devil alone. my husband and i have been struggling for awhile now especially after i found out about his affair with a woman11years younger than him, that he used to work with. they are no longer together but i never got over it , i was already dealing with depression but tried to deal with it alone , which turned into severe depression.he lost that job and i prayed that he got this new job, which he got , then he started having health problems, and i did everything to get him better and what do i get, of course he wants to move out to give us space and already had plans on going from state to state with this job and just telling me about it , he also had made arrangements to move into his sister house. i feel alone, fighting for someone that doesn't seem to care much about me. i wasn't raised to divorce and don't believe in it , but what do i do????? i always loved being married. i told him God can do anything and he states God can't change him. he feels he is destined to go to h*ll for all he's done to me , stuff i don't even know about. i pray and pray and i feel like i'm alone, i feel discourage , sad, angry, hurt,lost , no where to turn or go. please pray for my family, marriage and that he is changed , i never wanted to be alone

God does not want you and your husband to separate, nor get a divorce. This is the time for you and him to draw closer to God TOGETHER! Forgive him for the wrong he did and tell him that you have forgiven him. Sit down with him and tell him that he is not destined to go to hell, he is destined to learn love after all the wrong, he is destined to learn to live with Jesus and you. While we were still sinners Christ died for us, Love shows it light the most when things are going wrong. Encourage him and let him know you and God love him a lot. He is hurting inside right now and you may or may not know it, this is the time you and him better come together and help each other learn about Gods Love, Peace, Joy and Power found in the cross. I will put you in my prayers and do not fear. God bless

Praying in Jesus for both of you.
Tell your husband that not only does Jesus forgive him, but you as well.
If saving your marraige is what you want and ask, some things to consider doing are.
Renewing your vows quietly or publicly, your choice. :)
I know that trust will seem a far off choice, but thats because it is a choice, tell him you choose to trust Him again because you love him.
Also, the affair was a difficult inury to overcome, but that to loose your marraige, is the worse.
Just some ideas ..although Im sure you have heard many already . :)
I will continue to pray daily for both of you , that Jesus will not only restore, but bring a greater love and joy in your marriage.
Also for all you need as you work to bring healing.

Hugs and God bless.

I suggest you look for POWER OF POSITIVE THINKING by Norman Vincent Peale.ASAP.I do understand how it is to labour for your home and see it go into ruins, One thing i'll suggest you do is forget completely about yourself in the marriage and see him as another individual that needs God's devine witnessing .Pray for him in FAITH and forget about it.God knows what we know,see, are going through and understand.Commit all into his hand and believe your husband is not going away from home but God is dealing with him.

I have no advice, but you have my prayers. god is your comfort and your solution, i know he will take care of you. Just read the bible for comfort and pray night and day. Everything will be ok. If i were in your situation, i would invite others from the church over one night a week for bible study, or doing some type of arts and crafts. Have company over to cheer you up and keep yourself busy. Somethings that look extremly bad can possibly turn out to be extremly good. God is watching over you and knows what is right for your future.... I will also be keeping your husband in my prayers.... He shouldn't feel so guilty about his mistakes... once he ask for forgivness he is forgiven by God. Everything will be ok, God knows what to do... just have faith and try to smile, know that God has taken over your situation. ☺

I am praying for you and your marriage as well. I admire the fact that you understand and seek God's will to preserve the marriage commitment. Currently I am working to save my marriage as my wife tells me she wants out and I am wasting my time showing her love and willingness to work on things. So, I know how lonely it can be and for me prayer and study of His word is sustaining me. This awful time in our marriage is turning into an amazing growth opportunity in my relationship with our Heavenly Father. I pray that you do the same and seek Him so deeply that He replaces the loneliness with joy and energy to keep fighting.

Father God, I lift up our sister to you in time of her need, open both hearts to you, that they may forgive one another as you have forgiven us our transgressions. Show them Lord that you are there with them in good times and in bad times. You wish for no one to perish but come to the understanding of the mercy you have for those who seek your face. I ask Father God that it be your will to restore their first love, which is You, that you may restore there second love which is each other. I ask in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. AMEN!!!!!!

Dear Sister, not one thing you do will change the outcome of this other than to just sit dow, pray to our Lord for what you desire. Once you have placed it in Gods hands, stop worrying, God has a wonderful life waiting for you. Be faithful to Jesus, He will not abandon you.

I pray Gods will be done in your family and you are blessed with great faith and joy, in Jesus name, Amen
