My husband asked for a divorce in June 18, of this year while he was in Iraq (BTW he is still there) He said that if he continues to be with me he would be living a lie. I am a true believer in Christ our Lord...I don't want a divorce...please pray that God can heal my marriage and pray for my husband because I feel he is being lead by the devil's lies. Please pray for us...we need all the prayers we can get.
I am praying daily for him and for us...I am asking everyone to pray.

Thanks to all of you who have prayed for my husband and the healing of our marriage. God Bless you all! I hope and pray to report good news in the following weeks. I am praying daily...several times a day. I pray that God can turn his heart around...and that we can have a happy marriage together for a lifetime. My daughter who is 22 months old thanks you too. God Bless you all again!

I will certainly pray for you but more importantly I will give you hope via a quick testimony. I met my girl 12 years ago and we got divorced after being together 10 yrs. I was crushed but it was my fault, we didn't let Christ into our marriage and didn't put God first. I went back to church on 1-7-07 and really started praying for my wife back, I love her so much and felt incomplete. She was into Scientolgy though and it seemed so hopeless. Anyway, I fasted 3 days for Faith and I began to pray daily, heck even hourly sometimes that God would restore my marriage. Here it has only been 8 months since I went back to church and we were married in our backyard by the Pastor of my church with all of my friends and church people present. Not only that but she was SAVED and now prays with me for the first time in 12 yrs and our marriage is stronger than it ever was. People tell me now that they are AMAZED with my life and marriage restoration and I just smile and tell them that it was already done in the Kindgom of God as soon as I asked Jesus but God wanted me to believe in Faith and I did and now we are praying for her lost brother too! Ask and you shall recieve if you could only believe and I am living proof that miracles can occur, God is MORE than enough. I will spend the rest of my life telling others what God has done for me. Amazing Grace.
Peace to you and your husband.

Oh my, I am so sorry. I can tell you that there is much emphasis put upon marriage in the scriptures! It is a HOLY union! So, yes, I will pray because there is POWER in prayer and whatever has turned your hubby's heart...God can turn it back towards home...you! Keep the faith and do not allow satan to take what GOD has given to you!
I will be praying for you and believing with you that God can and will allow the His will to be done in all things concerning this matter!
God Bless You!!

You didn't ask a question, so I'm not sure what kind of response you will get. Why does your husband feel that he would be living a lie? Why did he ask for a divorce while in Iraq and not when he could tell you face to face? Seems strange. I know you do not want a divorce, but could you sense something different about your husband before he went off to Iraq?
How long have you been married? How old are you all?
Ultimately I'm thinking you all need counseling. You will need to decide if it needs to be a marriage counselor or a minister.
Good Luck. I will be praying for you.

Don't listen to all the negative....and I don't need to know your whole story or whether your husband is saved in order to pray for your marriage. God hates divorce and the Bible says the unbeliever can leave BUT may be saved by staying with the believer. Anyway.....God can do ALL THINGS...He had ALL POWER!! So, I will pray that His will be done in your marriage...and that He will touch your husband's heart. BELIEVE girl....get ready for when he comes home. Be the best that YOU can be and get any help that you might need for whatever problems there are. I will pass your request on to friends who will also pray for you. There is power in prayer!!

As a military wife, I can tell you that I've seen MANY men who go down range ask for a divorce either while they're there, or right before they leave, or right after they come back.
I'll pray for both of you. Email me any time if you ever need to talk.

Definitely will be praying for you, and asking the King to hear all the requests that are being lifted up and taken before His throne for you.
Without a doubt, marriage is one of the most treasured institutes from God. I believe this is why the enemy makes such a strong attempt to destabilize marriage. Not just one person's marriage, but the whole concept.
As long as your husband is overseas, I would not pursue this. Any man asking his wife to end her committment, should at least do so in person. One can't tell if this might be related to the stress of being away from family, from having to face such overwhelming horror. As a veteran, I understand the stress. As a Christian, I also know my place when a fellow sister asks me to pray for her.
Allow yourself to be wrapped in the peace and comfort of our Father the King. And know your's is not going to be the only prayer before Him.

If your husband is being led by the devil's lies, I would be compelled to ask if he is saved. If he is not saved, the scripture clearly states that if a non-believer wants out of the marriage, he should be free to go.
If he is indeed saved, I would pray that He would get back with God and repent.
In either case, I pray that God would reveal Himself in this situation.

Although the Lord hates divorce, it does say in the bible that if a unbelieving husband wants to leave then you can let him go. However....if you don't want to let him go...better just pray and believe God for a miracle. I will say a prayer for you, that the Lord's will, will be done in your marriage. God bless.

I certainly will. I'm sure you realize that where he is he is seeing all kinds of traumatic horrors that I'm sure are making it hard for him to make the best judgements possible. When you see life and death every day, maybe a man forgets he is even capable of love.
I will pray for him, and for you.
