driftwoodpoint is absolutely correct! May God guide and give you wisdom.

OMEGATRIBE01~the fact that you and your fiance are praying God will listen to your hearts. Sounds like you are of one mind. If God is the head of your household you will make it for sure. If this is not God's best I think since you are centered on God he would show that to you both...Best to you

I sent you a visitor message.

Hey guy, im new to this thing but i am having a little bit of confusion right now... Me and my fiance has prayed and realize that god has brought us together, no we may not always to the right thing but we work things out together and improve everyday. Today is exactly one month before our wedding and all of a sudden family members on both sides are coming out of no where basically saying that is shouldnt be because of the things that we did which weren't right and "we can't hear from god in a situation like that. It just seems like the closer and closer we get to september and the closer that we get to eachother and understanding each other is the more family and friends come out of nowhere with discouraging things. What makes it worse is i come from a line of people who just cant seem to stay with one individual without something going wrong to break them up and i refuse to continue the cycle, i already broke so many family curses in my life and i refuse to give it to the cycle of death that the enemy wants me to take, but its starting to take a toll on mt fiance. He is frustrated, he doesnt want to quit but he is looking at the situation as why now with the comments and discouragments from marriage because of what other family members went through. How can i make this last month for us alot more smoother and not so stressful?

I'm so sorry to hear about your situation. Marriage is such a hard thing. I agree with seeing a counselor. You end up with so many feeling running around in your head and it helps to have someone to sort them out with you. If he is willing you may try to see where things go. Men are just stupid and he may need some grace if you can give that to him. Take it step by step.....Best to you...

Seattle4 ... this is the 1st time I've posted here but I thought I'd share a bit from past experience although I've not seen a post here for several days.

Seek a professional Christian counselor/psychologist. I would say go to a pastor but I've discovered that a pastor may not be qualified to deal with marital infidelity or marriage counseling. But it must definitely be a Christian that counsels you. Go for yourself, at least. If your husband is serious about working things out then he should be willing to go with you. Infidelity is a sin, that is for sure but usually it is the symptom of something deeper - either with the marriage relationship itself or within the person that has committed adultery. Prayer is definitely needed here but what kind of prayer is just as important. Pray for yourself (it's not selfish because Jesus wants that) - especially the need of the Holy Spirit to be the Comforter for you, the Guide for your path, the Discerner for your mind to see truth from lies. And pray for your children that they have peace and keep them from mental and spiritual harm. Adultery and marital discord hurts not just the offended spouse but it causes scars for the children.

I'm not about to tell you to do anything drastic as far as what do with your husband. These things I share with you for yourself, your children and for your personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We go through trials and tribulations in life all the time, some more painful than others - the key for our survival, whether physical, mental or spiritual, is our personal relationship with God. When we read the stories of the men and women of Scripture we realize that they were not supernatural beings but totallly human like we are. And when we read the stories we see how God deals with them. Not one is dealt with the same. God knows their weaknesses and their strengths and since He knows the end from the beginning He knows how best to reach them and guide them. He loves you. He loves you with an everlasting love. He loves you so much that He poured out His own life's blood on the Cross and has promised to never leave you nor forsake you. As it says in Isaiah: "See, I have written your name in the palms of my hand."

No matter what happens with your husband, remember that you are wed to the one true Bridegroom who is always and totally faithful. You are in my prayers. When I pray, I always remember to pray the words that can cause us the greatest fear or the greatest faith, "Lord, not my will, but Thy Will be done."

Seattle4... We cannot tell you what to do. That is a decision you must make. Pray for guidance from the Lord. Search your heart. Turn it over to God. Has he asked forgiveness? Does he act like he wants forgiveness? Is he just telling you to relieve his conscience, his guilt, or does he want to work to have you trust and love him again?

These are all things that need prayed over and thought over and discussed between you and your husband. God can heal all things, even a broken marriage, if both spouses truly desire to fix what is broken and turn their marriage over to God.

May God comfort you and give you peace during this difficult time.

i am in need of prayer and understanding at this point of my life i am confused about
what direction am i to go my marriage. I just found out one month ago that my husband
cheated on me and i am ready to take my kids and leave him but he has already stated that he will not divorce me and whats to work this out which is why he told me that he cheated. what do i do

It's certainly not. But he grants us the patience we need. He is the sustainer of all things, including us

Mams, I'm still waiting. Waiting on the Lord for His timing isn't easy, is it.
