After 12 years & two children my husband had an affair on business trips
Submitted by T
Q
After 12 years and two children (aged 4 1/2 and 10 months), my husband had an affair with a woman who he was seeing on business trips. She lives 5000 miles away from us. He doesn't work now but still thinks of her and is in contact with her. He says he can not stop thinking of her and that he loves her. I've known about the affair for 5 months now and I have tried everything to show him that I love him, forgive the affair and that he should stop the contact with the other woman and rebuild our marriage, but with no success. One week ago he left to his parents house to think things over and to decide what is more important, his family or her.

He say that he loves me but he is not in love with me, which is understandable after so many years. He says that he will never be happy without us, but he cannot get her out of his mind and keeps wondering whether his life with her will be better.

I love him and I want to save my marriage. What should I do?
A

You are looking at this situation from the view of your personal pain and loss to the family. I feel for you and pray continually that God will strengthen you through his great love and compassion. I must look at this situation in a different light; as an eternal choice your husband is making. Choosing sin and lust to rule his life has put him into the captivity and torment of Satan; that choice will eventually force him to live an eternity of punishment. We must do our best to rescue him!

Jude 1:22-23 Be merciful to those who doubt; snatch others from the fire and save them.. .

First of all, your husband is a sinner and is continuing in sin over this other woman.

1Corinthians 6:16 Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh."

For him to move out and figure out on his own what he wants as a sinner, Satan is right there to help him decide. If you want him back, you will need to get God's Word into him to build faith. Satan is the one who tears families apart; God is the one that rebuilds them.

Love between a husband and wife is real love, instilled by God even though it's may not be perfect love as in God's love.

1Corinthians 13:4-8 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

Anything outside of marriage is lust, Satan's imitation of love. You have said that you forgave him and tried to rebuild the marriage. This is excellent, however without God and His power you will not be able to deliver him from the lustful demons that bind him.

You need for God to move for you in a miraculous way to save your marriage and your family. If you haven't given your heart to Him, or if unforgiven sin might be standing in the way of Him answering your prayers, you need to make things right between you and God. Our salvation prayer page might help you if you're not sure what to pray.

Every Christian has a covenant with God. If you do your part, God promises to do His. Jesus says:

John 14:12-14 I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.

John 15:16-17 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit--fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. This is my command: Love each other.

You must bind the spirits of lust that are controlling your husband; any other spirits he may have at this time can also be bound so he can be completely set free. Jesus gave the church authority to do this in;

Matthew 16:18-19 And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."

Don't beg God for deliverance. Jesus put the power of deliverance in your hands. It's God's job to back you up. If what you want is righteous then it's already a standard in heaven and God is for it. When you speak out loud the things you want and those things are the same as the scriptures say it should be, then you're using God's faith and faith is what gets God to move.

God honors faith and faith changes the facts.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

You are to rebuke Satan and resist any compromising thought that comes into your mind. That's the way God wants you to use your faith. Believe God is and will continue to deliver your husband right now. Thank him for every little change you see, every improvement. Speak aloud what you want from the Lord and do not doubt.

Matthew 17:20 He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, `Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. "

Matthew 21:21-22Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, `Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."

Continue to confess your desires and be thankful to Him for what He is doing never dwelling on the problem again. Thinking about the problems gives place to what Satan is doing and allows him to continue. Look to God for deliverance.

James 4:7-8 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Many times when we pray for changes in other people, God usually makes change in us first. Those changes always draw us closer to Him through reading his word and prayer and receive his faith for what he is about to do for us.

Romans 10:17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.

Through that process he gives us supernatural insight for the desire we have along with the strength to endure till the finish. Look to God and trust him to completely deliver your husband. Stand strong and dress yourself with the Armor of God.

If you don't have a good church then find one immediately and ask your husband to attend with you, at least the first time you go. This article will help you find a qualified pastor to teach you: How To Find The Right Church

Maybe you can get your husband to go to our prayer page to receive salvation and deliverance from the torment he is in. God wants to help him. The Holy Spirit will give him strength to control his thoughts and build a new life in Christ and with his family. I am praying for you.
