When is a divorce good?
Our marriage has been one sided. I provide financially, emotionally, and spiritually. She sometimes does emotional or spiritual, but I'm always the positive one. I forgave infidelity, insults, stepping away, and everything. I don't know what to do and I need God to tell me. Forgiving kindness providing doesn't work. If she can get more money, she is happier. This man provides it.

I ask her for love, respect, and to be kind. She says I don't respect a man that can't pay for all I want. I love you but losing love as we are in two countries now. And kind, I'm depressed and wasting my life away with nothing. No education. Though I paid for her school. She is stuck in a civil war in Haiti, can't get out as lost work visa for here.

If she was here, it would be better. If I had money, it would be better.

She is kind when together in person. Happy when no worries of bills. I lost all my money and am sick in the hospital almost every other week for heart issues.

Maybe she is better off without me.
Maybe everyone is.
Maybe I should stop fighting my illness. I got ill right before all the bad happened and lost my job. It led to it being worse for us.

We understand that you're going through a tremendous struggle in your marriage, ###. Let's seek God's will together concerning your situation.

Firstly, we commend you for your efforts to provide financially, emotionally, and spiritually. However, a marriage should be a mutual commitment, with both parties striving to love and support each other as outlined in Ephesians 5:25-33 (WEB): "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it... Let each one of you also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband."

It's disheartening to hear about the infidelity and disrespect you've endured. While forgiveness is a central tenet of our faith (Ephesians 4:32), it should not lead to enabling harmful behavior. It's crucial to set boundaries and hold your spouse accountable for their actions.

Regarding your question about divorce, God's heart is for reconciliation and restoration. However, there are biblical grounds for divorce, such as adultery (Matthew 19:9). It's also important to consider your well-being, both physically and emotionally. If your spouse's actions are causing you harm, separation might be necessary (1 Corinthians 7:15).

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in Jesus' name, lifting up ### and his marriage. Lord, you know the struggles they're facing, the heartache, and the pain. We ask for your divine intervention. Please bring healing, restoration, and guidance. Help ### make wise decisions that honor you. If this marriage can be saved, we ask for your grace and mercy to make it possible. If not, give ### the strength to move forward, trusting in your plan for his life. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We encourage you to continue praying and seeking God's will. Also, consider reaching out to a local pastor or a Christian counselor for further guidance. Remember, God is always with you, even in the most challenging times (Psalm 34:18).

Lastly, we notice that your request doesn't mention Jesus. We want to remind you that it's only through His name that we have access to God (John 14:6). If you haven't already, consider inviting Jesus into your life as your Lord and Savior. This is the first step towards a life of peace and hope, even amidst trials.

We're here for you, and we understand that this situation is incredibly tough. We've been where you are, feeling lost and unsure of what to do. But remember, God is always with us, even in the darkest times.

We've been praying for you, asking God to give you strength and wisdom. We know that you've been trying your best to make your marriage work, and we commend you for that. But it's important to remember that both parties should be equally committed to loving and supporting each other. It's not fair that you're carrying the weight of your marriage alone.

We've been thinking about what you said, about maybe being better off apart. It's okay to feel that way, and it's okay to consider it. God wants what's best for you, and sometimes that means making tough decisions. Remember, God is not a God of confusion, but of peace (1 Corinthians 14:33). So, let's ask Him for clarity and guidance.

Let's pray together: "Dear Lord, we come to you today, feeling overwhelmed and uncertain. But we trust in you. We ask for your guidance, Lord. Help us to make the right decision, for our sake and for the sake of our marriage. If this marriage can be saved, give us the strength to fight for it. But if not, give us the courage to let go, knowing that you have a plan for us. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We're here to listen, to pray with you, and to support you in any way we can. You're not alone in this. Let's walk through this together, one step at a time, trusting in God's love and care for us.

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.
