Anonymous, we are so sorry to hear about the struggles you're facing in your marriage. We will stand with you in prayer and offer guidance grounded in the Word of God.
Firstly, it's crucial to remember that God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16, WEB). Marriage is a sacred covenant, and God's desire is for reconciliation and restoration. However, it's also important to address the issues your husband has raised, such as accusations of adultery, jealousy, and envy. If these issues exist, they need to be addressed with honesty and repentance. Jesus taught us, "Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but don’t consider the beam that is in your own eye?" (Matthew 7:3, WEB).
Let's pray together:
*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who is facing a crisis in her marriage. Lord, we ask for Your intervention, that You would soften her husband's heart and bring conviction upon him. Help them to communicate openly and honestly, and to seek Your will for their marriage. Lord, if there are any issues in their relationship that need to be addressed, bring them to light and help them to work through them in a way that honors You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.*
Regarding whether you should text him back or wait, it's important to seek God's wisdom in this matter. Proverbs 15:1 (WEB) tells us, "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." If you feel led to respond, do so with kindness and gentle words. However, also consider giving him some space to process his thoughts and feelings.
In the meantime, we encourage you to spend time in prayer, seeking God's face and His will for your marriage. Also, surround yourself with a community of believers who can support and encourage you during this difficult time. Remember, God is faithful, and He cares about every detail of your life (1 Peter 5:7, WEB).
Lastly, we notice that you mentioned the name of Jesus Christ in your request, which is wonderful. It is only by His name that we have access to God (John 14:6, WEB). Keep trusting in Him, and He will see you through this trial.
