Wife is filing for legal separation.Isn't that a sin among Christians as there is a verse in the Bible stating we should consult with che church elders instead of the world.She will not consider counseling or anything else that has to do with reconcilliation.We already have been apart for 2 months.Praying very hard.By the way no adultery to my knowledge has been commited or abuse.It seem like the woman I married has gotten tired of God's way.Praying very hard for God to restore our marriage and family unit.We have been married for 21 years and have a 12 year old.This is very hard on him as his grades are slipping.She says this is what she wants,but is angry sounding whenever i speak with her on the phone.any thoughts?

Well, if she seems to be turning her back on both you and God, the bible says if the unbeliever wants to divorce, then let them and don't fight it. I'm not sure where her stance is with God, but from the way you're wording is, it sounds like she's turning from God. So, if thats the case, of course she's not going to consult the church. Trying to hold church standards to someone who doesn't, or is no longer, follow God is pointless.

why did your wife suddenly wants a divorce? I believed definately there is a reason. I would suggest you to find out what the reasons are and TRY to reslove it rather than taking the easy way out.

If your wife is a Christian and her heart is hardened, does that make her a non-believer?

Yeah, he's discredit himself as one to give advice when he told a man to kidnap his wife to cast demons out of her. And he thinks anyone and everyone who divorces, no matter what, is taking the easy way out. He doesn't look at each situation, he just has this closed minded blanket mindset that he throws at everyone without any thought put into what he says.
Every post i've seen him in where someone faces divorce he says that 'easy way out' line, even if the person is against the divorce.

Instead of resolving the marriage problem, we choose to leave the marriage...... isn't it taking the easy way out?l

If she doesn't respond well when you talk with her, is there someone else from your church or a family member who could contact her and encourage her to seek christian counseling for the two of you, or even family counseling since this seems to be so difficult for your child? How is she responding to your 12 old? Does she realize what this is doing to him/her?

Stand strong for the Lord and for your family, brother. Our prayers are with you.
