Well, that day has come.....its been about a year and she has still not expressed one iota of interest in working on any aspect of our marriage. It has culminated today in a call from a lawyer....not from her....letting me know that she wants a divorce.

Anyway, God has given me incredible strength and I must say that I am absolutely positive that this is NOT a battle against flesh and blood but a battle agains the spiritual realm... ironically, this merely reinforces my prayers and others prayer as we pray Gods covering over her.

Please continue that she woul hit rock bottom and be yanked up by her bootstraps out of the sinful lifestyle that she has chosen.

I am so sorry to hear that - so completely sorry and deeply saddened at the same time.

I have a friend who waited for four years for her husband to change his mind. She simply would not sign anything. Not to be vegenful or hateful, she just kept telling him this is something she did not want and would continue to pray for him. He finally made a decision she could not longer ignore. But, she truly never gave up.

There is always hope and there is always prayer and how she feels she is justified in this decision we may never know - other than her own personal unhappiness with herself.

You're absolutely right about it being a spiritual battle.

Again, please know how deeply saddened I am for you and I will continue to lift you up in prayer.

thanks SAM. as I said the other day....NEVER GIVE UP!

Im not sure what I will do...I dont belive that sitting on this will do anything but fuel her anger. I will be seeking wise Christian counsel to determine which direction to take this.

I appreciate your prayers. Ironically, I thought I would be shattered, angry and fiery even if this day came. Now that it has I am overwhelmed at how God has directed my response towards love, tenderness and prayer for her. Who knew.....He is incredible!

I have decided that I will sign what she wants me to sign while telling her that I do not want this, love her still, and will be praying for her. I also have told her that I believe God is asking me to show her God's love even in this and that He says that if our enemy asks for 1 thing you should give them 10 things (ok....bad paraphrase).
