Let's take it one step at a time. First, there is always some struggle to being married but some form of success always follows struggle. Who put these Unrealistic and certainly not biblical ideas in our heads about marriage. There is sacrific involved in any relationship.
Second, Christians have and will continue to be parties to divorce. Otherwise the subject would not have been so well outlined in the Bible. Just keep yourself in line with what God requires of you and let Him take care of the wrath.
Third, God only puts us under conviction. Conviction is an invitation to change. He loves us enough to want us to be the best. On the other hand, satan is the author of condemnation and guilt. satan wants you hopeless, and without cause. No way out.
I pray right now Lord Jesus that you give her strength and begin to give her wisdom in the situation. Show her Lord your special path for her. Give her peace. In the name of Jesus Christ..Amen
Now would be a good time for you to command satan to leave you alone both spiritually and mentally. Bind all evil spirits and hinderances. And do all of this in the name of Jesus. And if you didn't know, YOU have authority over satan and all evil. Jesus paid for that with His life.
