> can not divorce ? I also am a christian and I was married for almost seventeen years. I would not leave my wife even though she was physically and emotionally abusive becasue 1) I feared for my children 2) I thought I was sinning against God. Truth is I have been divorced for one and a half years now, and even though it has been a struggle I know our most gracious God has forgiven me and has a plan for me. I guess I could have lived im misery till the day I died, but I kept asking myself " Is this really what the God that forgave me of my sins and blesses me with 4 beautiful children really wants." I know the Lord does not like divorce because it is breaking a vow I made with him at my marriage, but He WILL forgive you and you can have a life after divorce. In the Bible it talks about two partners being unequally yoked. You can't have a marriage unequally yoked and it be a happy and fulfilling marriage the way God intended it to be. I know your struggle and can really feel for you. Only you can make that decision, but remember that you only have one life. Satan would want us to be miserable and useless to the Lord in our life.
You can break the yoke and be useful to God.Be honest with your wife and tell her you want divorce if things can't change. If that doesn't make her want to try, then you need to make a serious decision as to which way you want your life to go. I will pray for you. May the lord guide you in this trying time.
