Intervention of the Holy Spirit

My marriage is being severly attacked. I have been in a constant state of prayer, or conversations with the Lord, for a couple of weeks now. I am not a new believer - I am a renewed believer - who is thrilled by God's word. I am just really learning how to pray and I can honestly say I wouldn't change a thing about this journey. God is good! The Holy Spirit has been such a tremendous blessing to me. Over the past weekend, I have been reading my bible like never before and loving it. I have also been breaking down in tears over two things: my marriage and also God's word. He is so good! I am still praying wherever and whenever. My question is this. My husband has been so strange this weekend. He called me at least 6 times yesterday - asked for me, not the kids - asking me if I am okay - and this morning called me and it sounded as if he was in tears and said he never wanted this to happen to this family. But when I suggested couselling again, he said counseling couldn't make him love me like that anymore - he has been through too much (not just with me-with his parents too-he has a history with them). I didn't flip - I got real calm and said to myself - maybe counseling can't but, I know Who can. I feel as if (and I have prayed for this) that the Holy Spirit is dealing with him. Has anyone had a similiar experience or knowledge and can respond to me? I strongly believe nothing in this lworld happens as coincidence.

My situation is very similar to yours. I spent time with my husband this weekend. We are not officially separated but he has a knew place to live and is not sure if he wants me to go with him. He told me last night that he loves me but is afraid that we will only hurt each other if we stay together. I told him that I was a different person then I used to be by the grace of God. That God had given me a new heart free from the anger and resentment I had. He told me that he felt like God was working in his heart as well and that he really felt like God was tellling him to stay with me and work things out. I must admit that I am still afraid of losing him. He tells me to have faith and that things will work out and then he will also say that he needs time. I don't know if this helps you at all, but I will be praying for you and your husband.

Thanks. That does help me. My husband is not the type to say the "God is working in his heart" although the other day he floored me by telling me he "decided to pray". (Although not about us I suppose but satan has his whole life in a turmoil) but that was a great victory to me. I believe that that is what is happening - he just know what to call it. I prayed that the Lord will press upon your husband's heart that there will be no question that he stay married to you. Thanks...

I am going through this with my fiance. We were engaged last november, she was saved last december and planned a wedding for last may. About a month and a half before the wedding we just couldnt make ends meet and decided to put it off a month to save more money for it, by the end of may we were falling apart and she was really getting away from God. The first of June we called it off indefinatley and at that time she told me she had cheated on me a little before we got engaged. I told her that it didn't matter because I love her and it was in the past. She kept saying I deserved better than her and really pulled away from me over the summer. Well I have grown closer to God this summer than ever before in my almost 20 years of being a Christian. God does make all things work to the good for those that love Him! I am starting to see some changes in her now too, small ones but good ones. I am praying constantly that God drive away the demons which pulled her away from Him last spring that He would help her get back into church and back on fire for Him like she was when she first was saved because she was more on fire for God than anyone I had ever seen. I think Satan knows God has called her to do something great for Him and is trying with all his might to stop her. God will prevail though, He has told me so. I think the Holy Spirit is working powerfully in her life and I think He is working in your husbands life also. Keep praying and believing and God will reward your faith.
