I love my former wife very much and I know we both made mistakes. I cry for her because I do miss her and love her. we do not have any kids, my question is.. she just divorced me a couple months ago and she dosent really want to talk to me at all and avoids me at all cost. and it just breaks and destroys my heart.

I asked the lord to forgive me and I re-commited my relationship with him for good, and to now allow worldly things to distract me from jesus. Will there be a chance of my wife coming back? I pray that she does.. but I have friends telling me that I should stay away from her because she will always be like this and if it's god's will he will bring her back but I need to leave her alone. but I feel like when you marry someone than your married for life. I love her so much and would do anything to have my bride back so we can grow with the lord together.

Awww CMan....I pray that God Heals your heart and brings you an everlasting love. What kind of true love cheats back and forth and creates dating web sites? You two were young as stated already. Divorce can be hard, but trust there is life after divorce and God doesn't want this type of life for you. Seek God with your heart. Seek counseling if you need to and move forward with your life. Pray for your ex wife and then if it is the will of God for you two - you will be reunited. But don't just think that God can only give you what you had. God is a restorer and He can give you more than you ever dreamed.

I know you are feeling pain and loneliness. However, from what I have read, this does not sound like a marriage worth saving. If I were you, I would be thankful that there are no children involved because that would make it much more complicated. I think you should let go and wait for life with someone else. Have you considered meeting Christian singles? There are many looking for a mate.

God can restore your marriage BUT your wife has to be willing as well. he simply can not work on her if her heart is hardened to him. If he told her to go back to you but shes angry and bitter, she will likely not listen.

Its on HER to work on her end, not you to work on her.

OP: You may pray all you want, but God does not treat us like puppets. Its clear by her behavior she has rejected God and you. Apparently, she wants to go out and sample all the available men in town. Let her go. Find someone else. Find a Christian this time. Be glad she's gone because she doesn't love you and almost certainly never will. You have to remember, the sins of the flesh are very tempting and enjoyable. She's apparently going to take that all in.

God can restore, but will He? I don't know. But wanted to share this story with you.

Co-workers Aunt married a divorced man. Divorced man had been married many years. They married and the thing is co-workers aunt was also divorced with two small children. New husband took care of children like they were his. Years later co-workers aunt became ill and died. Her husband kept the kids and was raising them. Here is the twist. He and first wife reunited. This time he said he is a better husband to his first wife because of his second wife. That his second wife (the co-workers aunt) taught him how to love (well he learned real love through her). He and first wife not only remarried, but are raising my co-workers aunts kids as their own. The kids are teens now and all is well. He is still close to my co-workers family and it is she who shares this story. They are happy that their aunt found such a good man. My co-worker says he was a good husband and father and his current wife (and first wife) are treated like family and are good to the kids. The wife says he is a better husband this time around. WOW!
