I am new to my faith and have caused pain in my families lives for years. I am seperated from my wife and she is asking for a divorce. I've prayed and studied and God has given me the gifts of grace and forgiveness to deal with her current Adultery. I accept my portion of blame for her sins, as I was not true to my vow to her to love her unconditionally and to Love her as Jesus loved his church. I also committed adultery several years ago and have since confused my sins to God and have repented. I understand that scripture provides some exceptions for divorce, namely for Adultery. I have no intention of giving up on my marriage because of her affair. God has strengthened my heart to fight for her and bring glory to him by obeying his word. I have begun to talk to my wife about my faith and my desire to do Gods will, unfortunately we are currently seperated by 800 miles so seeking counsel from our pastor or other religious leaders is somewhat difficult right now. My wife is a christian and I know she feels great guilty over her sins, I believe she is praying to God to direct her to the honorable path during this time, but her heart is so full of pain that she is giving in to sin. I have no question that the path God wants me to follow on this matter is clear, so I will fight with all the strength God gives me to bring her back to him and to me. My question is rather simple. Since the scripture provides an exception for divorce (Adultery) does my wife have reason to divorce me, because of my past sins? Any advice would be greatly appreciated
God bless
