Lost marriage

[Phrieton]

It would seem God answered my wife’s prayer and got me caught in my addiction to porn and more. I was on a work trip and was chatting with people and planned to meet up. She found that and also that I had hidden money away so I was financially and emotionally unfaithful. She made me sign divorce papers on Valentine’s Day despite my working on myself having gone to marriage counseling, Sexaholics Anonymous, and the OCIA class at church to become Catholic. I’m devastated, I’ve prayed all the time since deciding to become Catholic and maybe it stayed off the divorce for a while but hasn’t worked. She told me tonight that she is going to take the papers to the court tomorrow and file them. I just don’t know what to do, I’ve prayed and I’m going to class, I’m helping out more around the house for her and with the kids. I am trying to be the good husband that I’m hearing I’m supposed to be, being new to becoming religious… I’m just not sure how to love her like Jesus loves the church, but I’ve been trying. I don’t know what to do, we have three kids and I wish I would have been able to think clearly and realize what I was doing and how it would impact our family. I have tried talking with her and say that I can’t change my past and only work on making our future better but she doesn’t want to give me another chance. I think she feels she’s setting herself up for another heartbreak thinking that I’m going to go back to how I was before and not keep up with who I’m trying to prove I’m becoming.

We are truly saddened to hear about the struggles you're facing in your marriage, but we are encouraged to see your desire to change and become the husband God has called you to be. First, we want to address the spiritual aspects of your situation. We notice that you mention becoming Catholic and attending classes, but we want to remind you that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As the Bible tells us, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12 WEB).

Now, let's address the serious issues in your marriage. Your actions, including the addiction to pornography, emotional and financial infidelity, have deeply hurt your wife and broken the trust in your marriage. These actions are clearly against biblical principles. As it is written, "Flee sexual immorality! Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body" (1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB).

Your wife's decision to file for divorce is a consequence of the broken trust and pain caused by your actions. It's important to understand that marriage is a sacred covenant between a man, a woman, and God, as described in the Bible, "For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall join to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh" (Matthew 19:5 WEB).

While we acknowledge the grave mistakes you've made, we also see your efforts to change and become a better husband. This is commendable, but it's important to understand that true change comes from a heart transformed by Jesus Christ, not just outward actions. As the Bible says, "Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature. Behold, all things have become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17 WEB).

We encourage you to continue seeking God with all your heart, praying in Jesus' name, and studying His word. Remember, "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded" (James 4:8 WEB). True repentance and a commitment to live according to God's will are essential for rebuilding trust and restoring your marriage if that is God's will. We also encourage you to continue your recovery process and involve your pastor or a trusted spiritual advisor in your journey for accountability and support.

Let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this man and his marriage. Lord, we acknowledge the seriousness of the sins committed and the pain caused. We ask for Your forgiveness and Your healing power to be at work in this situation.

Lord, we pray for this man's continued transformation. Help him to become the husband and father You have called him to be. Give him the strength to overcome his addictions and the courage to live a life of integrity and faithfulness.

We also pray for his wife. Lord, comfort her heart and heal her from the pain and betrayal she has experienced. Give her wisdom and discernment as she makes decisions about their marriage.

We ask, Lord, that if it is Your will, You would restore this marriage and make it a testimony of Your grace and redemption. We pray that both individuals would draw closer to You and be guided by the Holy Spirit to become Godly spouses.

In Jesus' name, we ask these things. Amen.

Remember, God is faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9 WEB). Trust in Him, and He will guide your path.

Lastly we would address the one issue brought up about becoming religious. We believe the Bible teaches that it is not about being religious but a relationship with Jesus Christ. That will be the only way to truly love your wife as Jesus loves the church.

We're right here with you, brother. We can't imagine the weight you're carrying, but we want you to know that you're not alone. We've been praying for you and your wife since we heard your story.

We understand that you're trying your best to be the husband God wants you to be. It's commendable that you've taken steps to address your past actions, like attending marriage counseling and support groups. But we want to encourage you to keep pressing on, even when it feels like nothing is changing.

Remember, change takes time, and it's not always linear. There will be setbacks, but that doesn't mean you're failing. It's all part of the process. Keep seeking God with all your heart, and trust that He is working in your situation, even when you can't see it.

We also want to remind you that God is a God of second chances. He's in the business of restoring broken relationships. So, keep praying, keep fighting for your marriage, and trust that God is in control.

As for your wife, we're praying for her too. We're asking God to comfort her, to heal her heart, and to give her wisdom as she makes decisions about your marriage. We're trusting that God will guide her, just as He's guiding you.

Keep holding on, brother. Keep fighting the good fight. And remember, we're here for you, praying for you, every step of the way.

We continue to lift you and your marriage up in prayer, trusting that God is at work even in the most challenging circumstances. We are grateful that you have allowed us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. As we have been praying for you these past several days, we hope that you have seen some blessings in your wife's resolve to divorce you. If you feel that your prayers have been answered, we would be blessed to hear your praise report. We want to rejoice with you, just like the scriptures talk about how the angels rejoice when one sinner returns to God.

If it seems that your prayers are still unanswered, please do not hesitate to share your feelings and current status with us again as a new request. We want to encourage you to seek God's purpose in all of this. He uses our mistakes to mold us into the person that He wants us to be. He is the God of second chances. So, allow us to continue steadfastly in prayer with you and for your family. We are praying for God’s grace, redemption, and restoration for you all. Remember, through your continued seeking of God and relying on His Holy Spirit working in you, no matter how hopeless the situation might seem, He said that He would never leave you or desert you. Always remember that "All things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose".

Scripture tells us that the fervent prayer of a righteous person accomplishes much. Then, as we continue to pray in unity, let us also remember to be patient and persistent, knowing that God hears our prayers and that it is all being used for His glory.

We bless your continued pursuits in your marriage, your career, and your walk with God and His Son, Jesus Christ. We pray in Jesus Name.
