My wife and I have been married for 10 years, divorced for 1 year, and remarried for 4 years —of course to each other.
You may ask, how is it the second time around? It’s absolutely marvelous, we never argue, we never say the wrong things to each other, and we are always happy. If only it were so! No, we do argue, and we do miscommunicate with each other, and we are not always happy. But that’s all part of having a successful marriage.
In our first marriage God was not a part of it. I was the most inconsiderate man that any woman could ever have been married to. I was an alcoholic and a drug addict who eventually became a gangster. My wife had to live ten years of absolute hell with me.
She, however, loved me and told me continually that the reason she stayed with me was because she believed the man that she had met 10 years before would return. My wife did not divorce me; I left her for a younger girl and divorced her.
My six year old daughter who had never been into a church found out from her teacher that she should pray for God to bring her daddy back. God answered her prayer.
I want to say that if one is having marriage problems and wants to get divorced, I don’t recommend it. I believe with God any marriage can be successful. It just depends how much you are prepared to sacrifice. My precious wife was prepared to sacrifice everything. I thank God for her.

(USA) ASKING FOR PRAYER. I divorced my huband after 17 years of marriage. It has been 2 years since I filed. I had low thyroid, hormone and depression. He had low testosterone and there was no intimacy. I was getting suicidal and knew I had to get out or I would do something to myself. I did not get the help I needed until way later, even though we had counseling. I did not want the divorce. I wanted him to fight for me or show some emotion. I love him so much. He has been seeing someone for about 8 months.
I told him 5 weeks ago how sorry I was and how much I loved him and wanted to get back together. Last week I wrote him a 10 page letter telling him all the things I wished I had done and how proud I was of him, and how much I still love him. I would not be the person I am today if I had not gone through this. God has totally changed me. I am listening to God everyday and standing on His Word and praying.
