Maureen, I’m so sorry that this has been your experience. That has to have been extremely difficult. But please don’t rule out the fact that some spouses CAN change. We’ve seen this to be true quite a few times that they can… but as you know, not always. Please lean into the Lord and work to get to a better place emotionally. We pray you will. And we hope that you won’t try to empty others of the hope they can hold onto. Sometimes the other spouse doesn’t change, but it would be especially sad if they do change and they missed out on the opportunity to mend their marriage relationship. … Again, we’re sorry for your pain.

Praying for your husband to strengthen his relationship with God and believe in the truth of His word. May he seek out God and get the helps he needs to deal with his sexuality and live a life that honors God. May you take care of yourself and not put yourself at risk. Allow him time and space until you know that your husband is faithful and desires to be a husband only to you.

What do YOU feel about this? And how does your husband feel about this? If either of you feel it is intrusive, then you need to talk about it and figure out TOGETHER whether or not you will allow your mother in law to join you in this prayer time.

But if you see it as a blessing — to unite together during this prayer time, then that would be fine. It may even bless your life with sweet memories in years to come.

Our parents are all deceased. I would (and my husband would) give almost anything to join with any of them in prayer to talk to God together. But I was blessed with great in law’s (and parents) so that might be an entirely different situation. Pray and talk with your husband about it, and see what you both agree to, and then proceed accordingly.

Praying for Rachel’s heart to be softened and she experiences God’s love in a way that makes her want to cling and fight for her marriage and family. Praying that Josh will not give up, but continue to trust God and do all he can as led by the Holy Spirit to save his marriage.

Praying for your husband to end his relationship with his partner and focus all of his efforts, time and energy on God, you and your marriage. Also praying that you will continue to seek God. May you both come to the realization your love and marriage are worth saving and doing all you can to save it.

Praying that you are both working with the Holy Spirit to restore your marriage- that you are both doing your part. Praying that counseling and conversations are taking place to get to the root of the issue/issues and the appropriate boundaries and guidelines are in place so that you both and your marriage remain a priority in your lives. May you be truly repentant and you both continue to seek God and draw closer to Him day by day.

Thank you so much for praying. We have a program at our church called Marriage Mentors but Rachel is not receptive to giving it a try.
