Marriage of God?!

Thank you so much for taking time to reply. I went to counseling. The last counseler was one my pastors wife recomended. A "Christian Counseler"
She said she could not help me.
I have read allot of your post and admire what you are able to do.

May God bless you and keep you during this time.
You are in my prayers.

I do not understand what is meant you could not be helped?

How many times did you meet with her?

I know until I surrendered to the Holy Spirit, I could not have the inner healing I’m beginning to experience.

I had two counselors until 2 weeks ago, one secular and one Christian. Not all Christian counselors are as trained to deal with certain things so you have to test the waters until you find one that is right for your personality.

If there is a women's center in your area you can try them. I would not stop seeking the healing that is needed. They are secular counselors that are not labeled as Christians but they have the faith.
I called Focus on the Family and spoke with a counselor and had a recommendation and I did not connect with her but I now have one that I connect with.

I can now look at emails and not be depressed by them. But I had to die to my feelings and let God take them over. I can walk in the house and not feel like I need my husband to respond to me.
I'm not saying that you are at that stage, but I will lift you up in prayer that HIs will be done and that you are given strength to press through the pain of this very difficult trial.

Get in the book of Psalms and James and live there. 

Thank you ladyt.
I was told she could not help me because I told her God did not want me to give up on my marriage. She said unless I was willing to move on and make a new life without my husband she could not help. We spoke in depth about how I felt God had called me to stand, she took the get out and find someone else route.
I am fine today and was last night God has given me peace.
My husband called me this morning at 3:30 to tell me he was going to get her once again.

I am sad to hear that she claimed that she could not help you. She should have been willing to work with you through healing not trying to get you to give up on your marriage. I do agree we should have boundaries set to protect us.

There's a good book that gave me perpective called Boundaries by Henry Cloud and John Townsend. You can order from christianbooks.com or from shop on www.newlife.com. I paid around $13 and some chnage I think for it.

Psalm 62:6 (NIV
He only is my Rock and my Salvation; He is my Defense and my Fortress, I shall not be moved.

Romans 1:12
that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith.
Be blessed and Expect Success!

Thank you for telling me about the book. It sounds like one I will get.

The ow is back with my husband. He travelled all day yesterday to go and pick her up and get back. Then had to go to work this morning.
He sent me a text message last night to let me know he had made it safely.
I feel God is working. I can not explain any way other than that.
I have a friend I pray with or should I say prays with me about this situation.
I told her two days ago that I felt something was happening. She agreed that she had these feelings herself.
Please continue to pray with and for me.
Thank you so much

I'm a little confused. I didn't read through all the posts. I skimed over some.

In one post I thought I read that you two weren't currently married, but were trying to get back together and work things out. I could be mistaken.

If so, I thought a person can't marry the same person twice....? I thought it was considered an abomination?

Marrying the same person twice under the old law was considered an abomination, but not in the New Testament:
1 Corinthians 7:11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to [her] husband: and let not the husband put away [his] wife.

You are to be reconciled to your spouse, if at all possible, even after divorce. Here's another version that gives the verses before this text which might make it a little bit clearer.

1 Corinthians 7:10-11
To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. 11But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.
