I am hating my husband and don't really want to forgive him. We are talking divorce. Youngest son is very affected by this even though he's 20. Hubby is a Jehovah's Witness and makes any decision he wants without consulting me. He lies, keeps secrets, deceives and thinks he does no wrong. I've tried many times to forgive but the disrespect, disloyalty and betrayal is too historic. He has no wisdom in how to be a godly husband and he points the finger at me when his stupid decisions come crashing down and hurt me. He has no idea how to protect me, as he continually inflicts pain due to his lack of wisdom. I truly feel hatred for him and have no respect for him. He seeks to please man and disregards me. He does damaging things and then screams its satan trying to destroy our home when its him. Please pray for the protection of my sons and myself, as this man will play the victim and slander me in this divorce. Thanks.

I would urge you to forgive your husband for God said if we hate our brother the truth is not in us and our heavenly father in heaven cannot forgive us. I urge you and pray for you and your family that God will deliver you. Do not be spiteful or hateful for God says vengeance is mine that saith the Lord. I will repay. Do not waste your energy on someone who blames you instead pray for them and God will do the rest.

Praying for you and your

"situation "

I once couldn't stand my husband. And I knew it. He knew it. I prayed for myself and God changed my heart. I'm praying the same for you. Love changes things.

Try to remember why you married him. Ask God for forgiveness and to soften hard heartedness, He most certainly will!

Anyone can get disgruntled and throw in the towel! But it takes a Godly woman to stay and pray.

Pray Sister! Repent. I say this with love. Knowing how in only 2 weeks after prayer and repentance over my own hard heartedness, I had such a love for my husband I couldn't hide the love dripping from my eyes when I looked at him. My heart was overflowing with marital love and a desire to serve him in love. The one thing I regret that I never did enough of was pray for my husband. He eventually left me and the kids. Wish I would've prayed for him more. I pray for him now but he's in somebody else's arms remarried. And I will not remarry. Because he divorced me. Stay and pray. Forgive. Love. Respect. Honor. In doing so you also honor the Lord. God takes the covenant of marriage very seriously.

Jesus tidy up the fiasco in this house according to His plan that all may get the good end. Amen.

Hi, Anon, this is what the Bible says about divorce.

Malachi 2:16 "For I hate divorce!" says the LORD, the God of Israel. "To divorce your wife is to overwhelm her with cruelty," says the LORD of Heaven's Armies. "So guard your heart; do not be unfaithful to your wife."

Jesus in Matthew 5:32 "But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery."

The Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 7:10 "And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband:"

But there is nothing sinful about leaving a husband as you don't remarry. In that same chapter, Paul goes on in vs11, "But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife."

Billy Graham said that it is impossible to hate someone your pray for. So, so pray for your husband even if you choose to leave him. In doing so, you will wipe your hatred for him away.

God bless, you, and keep you!

Go for the divorce. the bible pretty much said not to marry unbelievers. he needs to be a Christian that's only if you want it too. he sounds abusive. so yes. divorce. God never said to stay in an abusive relationship. please get out of it now for you and your sons safety.

God bless. wish you and your sons the best.

praying for you and your family
