I ask first and formost for your prayer. I do value opinions but at this time I am seeking guidance and wisdom according to the Word of God. I am at a fork in the road and I do not know which way to go. My vision is blured but I don't want to make the wrong turn and end up lost or take a detour I can very well avoid. I am a woman who loves the Lord and truly seek His will.
My husband and I are slowly approaching 19 years of marriage and in this union we have 2 children, ages 18 and 8. We are both in leadership positions in the church. My husband has a terrible lust spirit and an addiction to pornography and has been struggling with it for past 8 years. I have tried and tried to be patient and wait on the Lord for delieverance but it has yet to happen. He blames me for his addiction and everything else he lacks in his life. He lashes out in misery every single day at us and I am so tired of it to the point where I just want to be free. I would very much rather have my marriage but he is not trying to change. He spend countless amount of hours on the internet. He is so addicted that he has downloaded pornography on his usb drive. He lust over women even in my presence from teenage and older. I do not trust him at all to be faithful. There is no intimacy because he desires pornography more and gives himself to that and there is noting left for me.
I have tried serching the Scriptures and finding peace within to deal with this but I am really tired of being unhappy in this marriage. My husband go to work and that is all he does. ALL other responsibilities fall on me. Our children are affected by this wedge that has come between the two of us. We have tried, both, spiritual and natural counseling. This is ruining our marriage and we are struggling in almost every area of our life but I am holding on to the Lord. He is the only HELP I know.
I am having a hard time trying tounderstand how two BELIEVERS are in such a mess. I am no superficial Christian. I take my walk with the Lord very seriously and this iswhy I have stayed with him over the past 8 years. How can two walk together unless they agree? Please help me out but most of all, please pray for my guidance as I seek the Lord and the strength todo whatever it is I need to do whether it is to stay or divorce.
