As an update we went to court and my wife decided she wanted legal counsel so the order was put off until Aug 19. I still can not have any contact with her and it is so discouraging that I can't talk to her and try to repair the marriage. But I am relying on my friends to pray and I am earnestly seeking God's word and He has given me a peace toward this. There is a good chance that whe is either having a physical or emotional affair with a ex boyfriend from years ago. But after praying and seeking God's counsel I have been encouraged to not give up and file for divorce. The Bible says that we can get divorced for adultery but it does'nt say we have to. I have made mistakes that helped put her where she is today and if God can forgive someone like me then the least I can do is share the love of Jesus and forgive my wife. I pray that God will convict her heart that the marriage is worth fighting for and that with God's help anything can be overcome. Thanks for your prayers they are greatly appreciated.

Paul,

Hang in there brother. You are in my prayers that God can enter into your wifes heart and do his wonders. Your story sounds so familiar and hits a personal note, not only to myself but to others here in the DAB family. Just keep leaning on God and coming back here for support. I have not gotten into the Mens forum yet tonight, so I do not know if you have posted there or not. But it is a great place for the men to talk about the struggles of marriage from a male's perspective. And the advice and wisdon that is poured out there is amazing and really helpful.

John

We went to the hearing and my wife decided that she wanted a lawyer so the order was put back in place until Aug 19. So everything is the same except after reviewing the phone records the day before she left she talked and texted an old boyfriend for most of the day and well into the night, this contact continued until Jun 28 and suddenly it ended (I think prayer ended it). After much prayer and seeking God's Word, I have came to rhe conclusion that this is forgiveable and I would still welcome her back. That's all for now, thank you all so much for the support and prayers. Please, don't stop the prayers, God can soften and mend hearts.

Paul, I understand how you feel. Especially since you do want to reconcile. Lord Jesus I pray for you to work in Paul and his wife's life. Help each one of them to make the right decisions and let your word be the lamp to their feet and the light on their path. We praise you Jesus for being their councilor, comforter and guide.

As an update my wife filed for divorce on Jul 26. I would still take her back today if she would ask. I know we serve a God of miracles and I am praying for a softening of her heart, forgiveness for each other, and above all that God's will be done.

The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, A refuge in times of trouble.
And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You.

The order of protection hearing is this Thursday, I am standing behind the truth and if the judge does not agree with me the order goes into place for one year. I have a peace about this that only God can provide, even though I sometimes worry. All I can do is tell the truth and pray that the truth is enough to get the order dismissed. My lawyer said I should turn the order into a restraining order, but I feel I have done nothing wrong and I will not roll over and give up to make it easier. Please be in prayer for my wife and I that this will be dismissed and we can discuss healing the marriage. Thank you all for your prayers and support and thanks to our Lord that he knows ultimately what is best for all.
