What God Has Put Together...
I'm from the United States. My God, husband and daughter are very important to me.
My husband and I have been married for almost 2 years. We've had a lot of struggles, especially with our salvation. Needless to say God has always had a real canviction in my life. About 3 months ago, I accepted Jesus back into my heart and have been making righteous decisions since then. My husband is a deep liar (especially about getting a job) and has been diagnosed bi-polar. He doesn't seek God and when he does, he is so quick to turn away. I don't understand this.
So I went to my pastor and discussed these issues with him. My husband does not provide for his family, lies, and does not serve God. Then, I told my husband that he needed to leave my home until I see him improved and be able to provide for us. In the last 2 weeks I felt depressed, but I have also aknowledged the power of God greatly in my life.
I feel closer to God now than I ever had before with him around. I married this man because I saw a true calling of God in his life. I love him very dearly. When I had taken the stand to have him leave the home, I was trying to promote a sense of responsibility on his part.
I pray day and night that God will open doors of mercy and grace to restore our marriage. I believe in God's word; He hates divorce. But I almost feel like waiting for my husband to get his acts together might be a waste of time. This is really a touchy subject, I know. I'm dealing with so many different feelings right now. Sometimes, I get confused. All that I do know for sure is that I have to look to God, for ALL things. I gave my husband a time frame of 6-12 months to do this. I need some Godly insight from someone else.

There’s a beautiful quote that says, “Marriage takes three, God, you and me.” Short and simple but the meaning is profound. Marriage is God’s idea. From the beginning of time, we see that God created Eve for Adam because “it’s not good for man to be alone”. He knew right from the start that man needs a helpmate, someone just like him who will feel as he feels and understands as he does. Since then, the idea of marriage had been passed on from generations to generations until our time. However, nowadays, people don’t think that way anymore. Some would change husband and wife as if they were changing clothes.
It’s good to hear that in spite of your husband’s condition, you still want God to restore your marriage. Don’t loose heart; keep on fighting for what you believe is right. It may take some time but it’s all worth it. In Section 4.69 of Book of Hope, Jesus taught about the will of God regarding marriage. Check this out and be encouraged!
