Bible Question: what's a wife to do when spouse wants to leave marriage |
Bible Answer: I believe prayer is the answer to petition God for reconciliation in the marriage. As a believer according to God's word, you have power to speak God's word concerning marriage and know that it is God's will. Seek godly counsel, like your Pastors to help you through this time. You can't force anyone against their will, but ask your husband if he is willing to give it a try. Depending if your husband is saved or not, in 1 Corin 7:15 "But if the unbeliever leaves, let him do so. A believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances; God has called us to live in peace." I BELIEVE DIVORCE SHOULD NOT BE A PART OF A CHRISTIANS VOCABULARY BECAUSE IT IS CONTRARY TO GOD'S WORD unless due to adultery. Matthew 5:32 "But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery." Even is such cases I believe that reconciliation through forgiveness can heal a marriage. Pray, pray, pray and continue in the faith of God's word, He will comfort you and strengthen you. God will order your steps and honor His word to deliver your husband. Obviously his heart is hardened, pray that God will give him a heart of flesh, that truth will be revealed in his life and that he will come back to the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Remember, God will not override a person self-will, but He is obligated according to His word to do all that can and will be done to get that person to change. I hope this helps. God bless. |
