I'm currently married to a man who has extreme deception and integrity issues. There is a possibility he's also committed adultery, but I have no solid proof...only circumstantial findings. He is adamant he hasn't. There are also concerns I have about his motive for marrying me(can't elaborate). I want a divorce and I feel extreme hatred towards him and I'm angry and bitter. He wants to remain married....and lately I'm tempted to commit adultery, bc I'm unfulfilled. I am saved, raised in church as well. I am depressed most days and miserable. We barely talk. He's uninterested but uses me to meet his needs. Please pray for me. I'm hurting bad. Were currently seeking counseling from the pastors at our church...but I want to stop. I'm soo broken.

Proverbs, I am so sorry for your pain. My heart goes out to you. I pray that you will continue to go to counseling, and you might benefit from a professional marriage counselor as well as your pastors. Someone who gives you "homework" to do together.

Questions, if you feel open to sharing:

Does he say why he wants to remain married? Do you feel that he still has feelings for you?

And this is important... Have you found someone specific whom you are tempted to cheat with? If you have, this probably is seriously hampering your desire to heal your marriage, which is why I ask.

I'm praying right now for your marriage. Worse marriages than yours have been healed, and are stronger than ever before because of their fight toward healing. There is hope, if you are willing to throw it all to the wind and give it a shot.

*HUG*

God bless you. My wife currently is having an affair and I believe divorce will result. I suggest you take steps to determine if he is actually having an affair, if possible. If he is it will be hard to ever trust him again. I can not say what to do next, that must come from much prayer and possibly professional advice. I share your pain, it is a very self-centered act to commit adultery and cause someone you love so much torment. I will never understand how this can happen between to people who have joined in love and share so much together. Ask God to give you the strength not to take revenge by having your own affair, this will cause you even more pain as you will have sinned against God's law. I have been tempted along these lines myself but thanks be to God his soft voice continues to whisper that this is not the way. I must wait for what God has in His plan for me, I must follow His will and not my own. I believe you will feel even more pain if you give in to the temptation to go outside your marriage; the infidelity must first be proven and the marriage covenant be broken before you seek the love and passion of another. This is God's law.

Heavenly Father, this day I pray for those of us tormented by the hideous acts of adultery committed against us, that You carry us through this time of heartache and instill in us the faith to believe in our hearts that what You have waiting for us, by Your grace, is a better place. I pray that You speak to Proverbs when she is tempted to go outside her marriage with Your soft voice, tell her this is not what pleases You, and will, therefore, be so very unfulfilling for her. Keep her in Your grace so that she will have the strength to resist this temptation. Lord I ask that You reveal the true nature of Proverb's husband's activity to her, if it is not as he says. I pray You guide her to make the best decisions regarding her marriage and that these decisions align with Your teachings and Your plan for her happiness. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen

Father God, please help this woman and this man remember the love that brought them together. Help them open their hearts in truth and understanding. Lord, with you all things are possible you help us let go of the, pain, hurt, bitterness that the evilone feeds on so that we can live in your joy, peace, love and understanding. I pray Lord you open the heart of both people that they may walk in love and forgiveness. In the Messiah Yeshua's Holy name I pray amen.

I'm currently married (...) and lately I'm tempted to commit adultery, bc I'm unfulfilled.
Think it!

Now I understand you, but it won´t serve. I failed once, on doing that, and served for nothing, just to prove I was the same I was: I fornicator who had married.

I spent 13 years married and doesn´t matter you have failed only once. The end result is the same.
