My Husband and I are both Believers. We are both self employed and I am not working right now as the jobs I thought would have started by now have not - so he is packing the whole load - the problem is that he is resentful and angry with me, it's as though since I am not making money and he is "tired of being broke" I have lost favorr in his sight - although the Lord has been faithful and continued to supply our needs. Little by little my husband has withdrawn everything special to our relationship from me, prayer, companionship,communication, and now even the physical side of our marriage is gone. I have talked to him about it, fasted and prayed, and am loving him as best I know how according to the Word ...HOWEVER... I feel unattractive, undesirable, rejected, and unloved - I am so hungry for attention and affection... I see where the enemy is trying to tempt me into finding another man because of this - and I am here asking for prayer - I see the devises of the enemy but I am so vulnerable right now - PLEASE intercede on my behalf.

I Pray that your relationship with your husband is restored and that God will give you both a deeper love for one another. Don't let Satan to tempt you in looking for another. God Bless you for asking us to Pray with you. ODIE

Believer, I believe God is challenging you and your spouse with this issue. He is seeing a need for a deeper relationship with Him (God). When we trust and have faith in Him all else will come together. As the previous post stated you must become closing to God and his word. Live in his word and your relationship will be repaired. I will pray for you both as well to remember who we are serving and in His name Jesus Christ all will be healed.

Dear In his grace, I want to remind you of what the bible says about a wondering eye. (Mathew 5:27-30) ***Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, thou shall not commit adultery. ***But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a women to lust after her hath commited adutery already in his heart. ***And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body should be cast into hell. ***And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee that one of thy members should perish, and not thy whole body should be cast into hell.
*****What these verses are saying is just because you have not committed adultery does not mean that you should be unconcerned. The bible was written to keep us from not just sinning, but to keep us from messing up our lives. It says if your eye lusts for another person, it is better that you cut it out, then to burn in hell. It says this because affairs first start in the mind, before it ever physically happens. I caution you as to having an affair, as you do not mention leaving your husband, and then committing adultery. If you were really through with your husband, would you not leave? What if you act upon these thoughts, get caught, and then figure out that you really did not want another man at all. It will forever change your marriage as you know it. Even if he never finds out about it. You will always know it. Please go to a paster, or a well trusted friend to work through this. You probably should also seek counciling for your marriage. I pray that you listen to what the bible says, and that you do not act upon your thoughts. I pray that God directs you to someone, or sends someone to you to help with your marriage problems (before it is too late).

I appreciate your pearls of wisdom Saints
I may have been misunderstood as I didn't mean to imply that I am tempted to adultery,I am not going to committ adultery -the only man I want is my husband- I am just very aware of the trick of the enemy - I can see where he is trying to send temptation my way and due to the rejection I feel from my husband I can see where I am in a vulnerable place - I am remaining prayerful and am following God's Word for marriage and most specifically being a Godly Wife regardless - I am just struggling and need some extra prayer as I go thru this storm -
thanks again for your replies

Dear Heavenly Father, Please be with InHisGrace as she deals with this difficult time in her marriage. Help her to turn to you and your word for answers. Also, lead her husband back to her so that they both can feel the joys of a loving spouse. For this we pray in Jesus name. AMEN

Inhisgrace, I am really praying that your husband will begin to show you affection, and love. Marriage is really hard. It is very difficult to make it even under better conditions. I pray that the Heavenly Father intervenes, and brings the love, understanding, and the peace that you need, back into your relationship. I pray this in the name of Jesus, Amen!

I believe that with every trial the lord is taking us from glory to glory. Father in the name of Jesus, I pray that the wisdom of your holy spirit plant seeds of restoration in this relationship. I give you all the glory and pray that all is well. Amen.
