I cannot imagine that I myself found a note under the matress with all my foults written on it, I would really go nuts. Wouldn't you?
You ask for advice for something that is obvious to do. Some things are common sense whether a christian or not.
Since you ask what the Scripture says read Matthew 5:23-25
v23 - Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
v24 - Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
v25 - Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
And the above is for our husbands/wives too. As soon as you found out that your husband had something against you then the first thing you had to do is to go and explain to your husband what happened. Told him that your purpose was good, didn't aim to hurt him. Discuss. Whether your husband is a christian or not it's not right to have secrets from him, at least not serious ones. Dont forget God made us one with our mates. Ephesians 5:30-31.
So what I'd do in your shoes? I would spent a day or two fasting and praying ( Esther 4:16) and then go and talk to my huaband and explain him what happened using the words of wisdom that God gives me. Great advices are also given in the other posts below .
And some more advice. Aren't you in a church? Don't you have a pastror, priest ... that you know, who knows you and your life, and can talk to him about your problems and seek help? It not wise to go around the internet and seek advice since you don't know who is to whom you are talking to.
May God help you out. God Bless you.
Everything has an OPPOSITE.
The tree of KNOWLEDGE of good and evil (opposites).
The word Of God is BUILT AROUND PARABLES, tree, or trees, is signified (represents something other than what it is in the physical).
Christ is a Lamb, TREE OF LIFE ETC.
The New Testament parables teach that we are the garden of God (Eden). Isaiah 5:7 Ezekiel 31:8
The TREE of KNOWLEDGE of good and evil exist in the midst of the garden (CHRIST is this tree, as he is also the tree of Life) In the midst of the garden.
Colossians 1:27 ..this mystery ...CHRIST IN YOU ..
We have only knowledge of evil, until Christ (the Holy Ghost) releases, or causes, us to have the mind of Christ (then we sprout and eventually become a tree, also. Isaiah 6:13 Ezekiel 47:7 Revelation 22:1-2
There is ONLY ONE SPIRIT, but the KNOWLEDGE of that ONE SPIRIT contains both good and evil.
Genesis 3:22 ....the man has BECOME LIKE ONE OF US (the man has become like God) to know good and evil....
Before man ate (the words of God), which is the TREE of KNOWLEDGE (Christ), he was the Child of SATAN (no knowledge).
You are BORN AGAIN by THE WORD'S OF GOD.
1 Peter 1:23 BEING BORN AGAIN ....by the WORD'S OF GOD ...
Now Satan (DARKNESS)(lies, deception, falsehoods) has been DESTROYED and LIGHT SHINES FORTH.
Isaiah 45:7 I FORM THE LIGHT, AND CAUSE DARKNESS: I make peace, and create evil ..
Isaiah 9:2 The people that waked in DARKNESS, have seen a GREAT LIGHT ...
WHO IS SATAN?
1 Corinthians 2:6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are PERFECT (born of truth), yet not the WISDOM OF THIS WORLD, nor of THE PRINCES OF THIS WORLD (children of Satan living in lies, deception and falsehoods, children of death and the grave).
1 Corinthians 2:8 Which none of the PRINCES of this world knew, for had they known it, they would not have crucified the LORD OF GLORY.
Matthew 12:38 But if I (our God is a consuming FIRE) cast out devils (lies, deception, falsehoods) ...then the KINGDOM IS COME
I agree with Suze on this. Who ever told you to practice such a thing was way off. As you can see, result of this was harmful. I do suggest that you come clean on this with your husband and admit that you were given wrong advice on this. Apologize and admit that you should not have done this in the first place.
Perhaps this can be turned around for good if you both talk about things you wrote and how you prayed about these things (f you really did) and listen to his "list" about you and both consider what each of you need to address with God to seek changes.
Thanking you for taking up my question. I look forward to your comments.

Don't EVER put your Faith or confidence in a physical church. In a study I had the other day, I'd estimate more than 98% of churches today preach corrupt false doctrines and twist Bible verses. I see it here in this discussion too all the time. That's the church too. We should love and pray for the body of Christ (the church) but if you're hearing a preacher doing or saying something contrary to God's Word; simply leave. Don't cause a scene or anything else but simply leave.
Main line denominations have fallen far from God's Word for centuries now. Not one is in total agreement with the other. The most dangerous place is not even the physical churches. It's in internet churches, social media and right here on the internet. That's where I've seen some of the most blasphemous articles written on the Bible and called "theology." Remember, God's Word is simple and Christ's Salvation was for those simple the same. Anytime you notice it being complicated -- beware...there are wolves behind the pulpits today.
Now, we'd have to be grateful the chapters and verses were added though. If not, it would be harder to give you direct answer on Salvation by saying read Romans chapter 10 verses 9-13. Without the chapters in verses...I could probably tell you to search for "those words" in Paul's letter to the Romans. God's Word would still make it's way into believers lives even if we'd never been given Bibles with verses and chapters but looking at it today; you'd be putting a lot of notes and bookmarks in...that's for sure.
People look at scriptures in light of their beliefs, most often what they have been taught from childhood.
Those teaching most often were inspired by man's teachings. These teachings are ingrained and VERY HARD TO OVERCOME.
Mosses and the Prophets is all about the KINGDOM OF GOD.
When you understand Mosses and the Prophets, the New Testament will align with Mosses and the Prophets.
The OLD teaches ALL CREATION, at some point (in the coming ages) will be reconciled to God.
The Old teaches God does things at an appointed time, because the WORDS were spoken before the foundation of the worlds and are being fulfilled in that order.
The Old is a shadow of the NEW, that GOD CHOOSES certain ones as vessels of mercy and certain ones as vessels of dishonour.
Those CHOSEN in this age will become Ministering spirits: those not CHOSEN, will lay in the grave UNTIL the RESURRECTION OF JUDGEMENT.
When God raises those in the graves back to their flesh, Christ and his ministering spirits will JUDGE THEM and bring them to TRUTH.
Isaiah 5:13 Therefore my people (his creation) have gone into captivity, because they have no KNOWLEDGE .....
God is solving this problem of NO KNOWLEDGE by giving his creation the MIND OF CHRIST; but in his appointed time, to fulfil the WORDS SPOKEN.
Isaiah 11:9 ...for the earth SHALL BE FULL OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD .....
Romans 8:20 For creation was MADE SUBJECT TO VANITY, not willingly .....
Romans 8:19 For the earnest expectation OF CREATION WAITETH (God's appointed time) for the manifestation of the SONS OF GOD.
Romans 8:21 For CREATION ITSELF shall be delivered from corruption (the grave) INTO THE GLORIOUS LIBERTY OF THE CHILDREN OF GOD.
1 Timothy 4:10 Therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the SAVIOUR OF ALL MEN (even those that are saved in the age of judgement), SPECIALLY THOSE WHO (are caused) to BELIEVE.
Notice the conscience is not restored .
Hebrews 9.14 NT
The conscience is restored .
Keep your conscience pure as possible . It's vital to your relationship to God .
Do a word search on the word "conscience" in the Bible .
We all should have a good conscience and need to maintain it .
After you're saved, challenge yourself where you want to start reading. Ideally, it would be nice for every born again believer to read the entire Holy Bible from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22; but not all get there. Some had died before finishing the Bible but their Salvation is eternal and they're with the Lord now. You know, when I first got saved...one of the first books I read was the book of Job. Start somewhere and challenge how much you can read and comprehend at one time. I typically read verse by verse slowly to make sure I have a clear understanding. Sometimes I need to read an entire chapter of the Bible twice to make sure I understand completely.
About going to hell (unless I've misunderstood) about going to hell for not reading the whole Bible or the King James Version; that's not true. God would have us to read His entire Word but if a soldier accepts Christ on the battlefield and is critically wounded; they'd die before getting to know more than a single verse. But if that single verse was as of those I listed above; God will welcome him home. Just an example. Try to challenge what you read daily whether it be verses, chapters or an entire book of the Bible. I believe the King James Bible is the only truly inspired Word of God. But if someone is reading the Word of another version; I don't believe they'd go to hell. Although I'll warn that paraphrased Bibles do have a wicked message (The Message Bible); paraphrasing God's Word is sinful. Also careful with what you read from certain books or on the internet. There are more false doctrines on the internet now than there ever has been.
"And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years" ( Revelation 20:4-6, KJV).
Sequence of Events:
1. The first resurrection (this includes people who are killed during the tribulation for not worshipping the beast or
receiving his mark).
2. Those, who are resurrected, reign 1000 years with Christ.
3. The rest of the dead rise after the 1000 is finished.
4. The second death (for those who are not a part of the first resurrection).
Timing: Begins after the people are beheaded for their witness of Jesus, and for not worshipping the beast or receiving his mark, but before the thousand-year reign of Christ.
Here we can clearly see that there will be people who have been executed during the tribulation present at the first
resurrection. This can only occur if the resurrection occurs after the tribulation. These are the people who reign with Christ for a thousand years. If there is a pre-tribulation rapture, then these people are raised before the first official resurrection, they may not reign with Christ, and they may even be subject to the second death! Clearly, a pre-tribulation rapture requires that these verses must either be refuted or ignored.
"And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign forever and ever. And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned. And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth" (Revelation
11:15-18, KJV).
Sequence of Events:
1. The seventh (last) trumpet of the tribulation sounds.
2. The earthly reign of Christ begins.
3. The time of the dead (resurrection).
4. Prophets and saints judged for rewards.
5. Those who destroy the earth are destroyed.
Timing: Beginning with the seventh trumpet of the tribulation. The seventh and final trumpet of the period of the tribulation is sounded and the reign of Christ begins on earth. At this time, the resurrection and judgment of the saints occurs - after the
tribulation. This seems to confirm our previous conclusion.
It compares being at someone's passing as oppose to being at someone's birthday. Because at someone's passing you have time to reflect on your own mortality.
Please reflect on Luke 18:27.
