She moved out about 6 weeks ago now and told me she has feelings for another guy (a non-Christian). I have turned my life around from struggles ranging from pornography to depression and all that comes with those things. But it seems she is running from God and there's nothing I can do about it. Her name is Vanessa. We've been married a little over 3 1/2 years. Thank you for your testimony and courage. I have found your blog a tremendous blessing during this time.

I am so sorry for your pain and the hurt you are feeling. We are praying for you, we are praying for her, and we are praying that your marriage can be restored. No matter what she chooses, you choosing God during this time is going to mold you and shape you into the person God longs for you to be! Josh,

I have been married for a month. I can't remember exactly how I stumbled upon your blog, but the first thing I saw was your two posts on "8 things". My husband is a graduate theology student and there are a lot of demands on his time with school work. At the moment we are trying to build good foundations and good, healthy routines in our marriage and trying to find time for us amongst it all. If you have a quick moment to pray for us in that, that would be wonderful. Though we are not in trouble, I have found your blog to be very helpful in illustrating how easily things can slip if we're not paying attention and actively loving each other well. Thanks for that! I'm so thankful that things have come back together for you both! With love xx Hi there J & T. I have been married for a month.

She has moved to another city and filed for divorce. I do not want this! She is also a non-believer. Please join me in praying that the Lord will fill our hearts with the Holy Spirit. That she will come to know and love Jesus and that our marriage may be restored. Thank you and may God bless you. My wife and I are seperated. She has moved to another city and filed for divorce.

What you are saying is something that we hear often, so please know you are not alone in how you are feeling. Trisha recommended to another person the book The Power of a Praying Wife. That is something I highly recommend to you, as I think it will help you know how to pray for your husband in a way that unites your hearts and souls. We will be praying for him, and for you as well. Elaine,

We have a 2 year old daughter who is the best part of both of our lives. However, we are struggling with being connected to each other. We're definitely more like room mates than deeply in love husband and wife. While we both contributed to this state, I know that I can be emotionally unavailable and my first instinct is to pull back at the first sign of trouble. Can you pleas pray that we can re-connect and have the marriage God intended us to have and that my heart can be more open toward my husband? Thanks.

While I know scripture says that children are a blessing from the Lord, I think what God wants you to know is that they are ONE of His blessings. Just because you don't have children doesn't mean you aren't blessed. I won't pretend I know how you feel, but I do want to encourage you that God's blessings can't be boxed in with children...they are much more vast and deep than that. We are praying for you and lifting you up! Kathryn,
