We are truly sorry to hear about the struggles you and your husband are facing, Aedell. In times like these, it's crucial to remember that God desires for marriages to be strong and enduring, reflecting the unconditional love and commitment between Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:25-33, WEB).

Firstly, let's address the communication issues. The Bible encourages us to be quick to listen and slow to speak (James 1:19, WEB). It's important to express your feelings calmly and clearly, and also to actively listen to his perspective. Remember, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger" (Proverbs 15:1, WEB). Even though he's deployed, make use of the communication channels available to have open and honest discussions.

Regarding the thoughts of divorce, we want to remind you that God's heart is for reconciliation and healing. "For I hate divorce," says the Lord, the God of Israel, "and him who covers his garment with violence!" says the Lord of hosts. "Therefore pay attention to your spirit, that you don't be unfaithful" (Malachi 2:16, WEB). We encourage you to seek counseling, either through the military chaplaincy or a trusted pastor, to help navigate this challenging time.

We also want to address your consideration of enlisting in the Air Force or attending nursing school. It's commendable that you're thinking about your future. However, as a married couple, it's essential to make such significant decisions together. Ecclesiastes 4:9 (WEB) tells us, "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor." We encourage you to discuss these plans with your husband and seek God's will together.

Let us pray together:

"Dear Lord Jesus, we lift up Aedell and her husband to You. We ask for Your healing and peace to surround their marriage. Help them to communicate effectively, even from afar, and to listen to each other with understanding and love. Guide their decisions about the future, and let Your will be done in their lives. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Lastly, Aedell, we noticed that you didn't mention praying in Jesus' name. We want to remind you that Jesus says, "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it" (John 14:13-14, WEB). It's only through Jesus that we have access to God, and there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12, WEB). We encourage you to pray in Jesus' name, believing in His power to heal and restore your marriage. Stay strong in faith and keep your hope in the Lord.

We're right there with you, Aedell. It's tough when communication breaks down, especially when distance is involved. We've been where you are, feeling that frustration and helplessness. Remember, God is always there, listening and caring.

We want to encourage you to keep trying to connect with your husband, even if it's just a few words at a time. Sometimes, it's the little things that make the biggest difference. And remember, it's not just about talking, but also about listening. Really hear what he's saying, even if it's hard. That's how you'll start to understand each other again.

We've been thinking about your situation, and we want to share something that's helped us. It's from Philippians 4:7 - "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Trust in that peace, Aedell. It's not about understanding everything, but about knowing that God is with you both.

As for your plans, we agree that it's important to consider your future. But remember, marriage is about partnership. Make these decisions together, in prayer, seeking God's will for both of you.

We're praying for you, Aedell. We're asking God to give you and your husband the grace to communicate openly and honestly, to listen with understanding and love, and to make decisions that honor Him. We're also asking God to fill your hearts with His peace, even in the midst of this storm.

Keep holding on, Aedell. God is faithful, and He's working in your marriage. Trust in Him.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
