***this is a continuation of "does God tell you to leave a bad marriage for the better?****i love the Lord with all my heart and soul and feel i am being held back in the secular world and spiritually. i feel like in shackles. he admitted that he is jeoulus of me. he states he cant find a job bcuz he dont like school, he states he not smart enough. i tried to work it out a lot of times but everytime i catch him getting txt msgs from old flings and i specifically called those girls names out and said dont have contact with them. his father is a playboy he has children (10) all over the world and his mother accepts them. she feels all men cheat so her son is not doing wrong. the family is from Guyana.it is bad bad and i dont think God wants me to stay in something horrible like this. i admit i was wrong to get into this but i has a hard life and ran to the first man who said he loved me. then all these things started to tumble down, he never cooked, cleaned, really worked, or took care of the kids. but he says he wants to be with me but i dont see any change.
It's hard to say whether God would specifically tell you to end your marriage, although you said that he has cheated which would be a ground for divorce. With that said the best thing is to discern what is best for your family, and your relationship with the Lord. Hope that helps, praying for you.
Although marriage is a sacred union between two people, and the bible states the husband should love the wife like Jesus loves the church. Wives are to love and submit to their husbands, it doesn't mean we are to be used and abused.
The bible does excuse a person for divorce in two instances which are death and adultery, but God does not want us to be sad, abused, treated wrongly, dishonored, or lead into a life of depression.
My advice is to pray. Ask God not only for wisdome in this situation, but to help change your mates heart and mind. Ask God for their deliverance and their salvation, as well as ask God to bring you peace.
