If the Lord gave it to you, then it has real purpose and meaning and hope for your situation. I really don't have any advice other than to cling to God and His Word and pray. I am sure you are doing all these things already. Oh yes, and remember to pray believing. I will be praying for you today. My own situation is different, but I am married to an unbeliever also. I needed to read these scriptures and will refer to them often. I having been asking God to give me more love for my husband and people in general. It's been a slow road, but I made a decision today to stop worrying and fretting about all the things that go through my mind about how I am just not up to God's snuff and trust that He is doing a good work in me and will see it through to the end. The last thing God needs is my help which tends to be of a controlling, co-dependant nature. (USA)  Hi Lisa, that is a beautiful scripture to hang onto.

My husband and I have been separated for over 2 years (my decision), although I see him almost every day because of our 2 children. I have been praying and hoping, clinging to a promise God gave to me in the Good News translation of Isaiah 62:4 when I was first saved in 2004. We have been together since 1993, married since 1998, and miserable for most of those years. I am at a loss, and if there is anyone out there who has been in a similar situation, I would like to know what you did/are doing.

Especially for me as a wife because I am required by God to submit to my husband. Ever since I started talking to God about my problems instead of harassing my husband into "talks", our marriage has been very good. Letting go of issues, overlooking insults etc probably made my husband wonder and now we are getting along very well. Maintaining a quiet spirit is one way of submitting to my husband and most importantly, to God's instruction. It also relived me of worry and pressure because I know God can & will solve my problems for me. Gradually, things are falling into place now and I laugh at myself for all my past efforts to get things right. Now I am a happy soul and I don't let negative thoughts come to me. I concentrate on everything that is good. The sooner you learn this, the better. (USA) Actually, this works very well.

I am going through a difficult time right now, as my husband seems especially bitter and hostile towards both God and me, and things appear almost hopeless. But I know with God all things are possible! So I will cling to His promises and pray for the Holy Spirit to help me show love and respect to the man God has given me. I know that by honoring my husband (even when he doesn't deserve it because of how he treats me), I am ultimately honoring God, and this is what makes it possible for me to handle all the negative stuff that is going on emotionally. So I am happy that an elder of my new church sent me the link to this website, because I have been very much encouraged by what I have just read, and I am thanking God for it!
