Please pray for my marriage. My wife had an affair. We are receiving Christian counseling but my wife's heart is definitely not in it.

She's been very distant to me but more importantly she's still has yet to turn to God. I believe that Satan really has her blinded to the truth because after all affairs are based on deception and lies. It is very unclear what she wants.

She recently admitted to still having some form of contact(social media) with the person she had relations with.

I believe love is worth fighting for and I totally want to keep my vows true to God and my wife.

I want what God wants for me eventhough it's painful right now I'm trying to wait patiently.

1 Peter 1:3-9
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
to obtain an inheritance which is imperishable and undefiled and will not fade away, reserved in heaven for you,
who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

In this (what has just been said) you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials,
so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which is perishable, even though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
and though you have not seen Him, you love Him, and though you do not see Him now, but believe in Him, you greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory,
obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.

it's so hard to go through the trials of life. :(
just wanted to offer some hope to you.

i have prayed for your family. ♥

Did your encouragement come with a prayer? Yeah, human logic would think that but wouldn't preparing for the worst in a sense be telling God, I dont think you're big enough to restore this. So, what I chose to do is lean not on my own understanding and pray. Pray for restoration, healing and a peace that passes all understanding.

I'm going through something similar, though to my knowledge she hasn't physically cheated. She's just unsure of her feelings. I gave it all to God, and asked for His peace and for help with patience. I've lost two marriages to this same kind of situation before, so I know where you are emotionally. You feel like you got kicked in the gut, and the fact she's still staying in touch with the guy is even worse. As for solutions, I'd say find out what get love language is. For my wife, little post it's with kind loving words makes an impact. For your wife it may be different. Find out what speaks to her and gently use her love language to speak to her. You can Google love languages. I'll pray for you and your wife.

My friend, my wife is having an affair with alcohol- it has become her friend, her lover, and her god. I feel you pain brother. I find comfort in reading Hosea- whether you believe it to be literal or allegorical, it gives me hope that our God can use a sinful relationship to bring glory to Him. I will add you to my daily prayer card- stay strong my brother! Philippians 4:4.
