How do you know if it's God's will or the devil to end your marriage?

My husband and I have been together for 15 years. Less than 5 of those we have been happy together. And its getting worse recently.
Additional Details
We have 3 children. There has been mental abuse through out. Recently pyscial. And he has cheated a few times. Im no saint by any means. I can be mean with words. But I have never cheated or even given him reason to doubt. I pray and pray and pray. He doubts there is a God or devil. And my mother depends on me finacially because she is disabled. Although she does not live with us. But if he and I do split I dont think I could take care of all the finances. And I do still love him I want this to work so much. I've started antidepressants, and sleeping medication to help me deal. I have chest pains, can't eat. Im loosing my child hood friend here. I keep fighting and fighting. But Im just wondering if I even should. Maybe God never meant for us to even be together to begin with. We have had problems for quite a few years. And when I say we were happy for 5 years I dont mean straight through. I mean adding here and there equals up to 5 years.

I believe that God gives a choice to marry who we want. There are perimeter that we should marry wthin and if we fail to marry within those boundaries, then there are ill effects that come from our decisions. It sounds like you two never should have gotten married because you are unevenly yoked, meaning one accept God and the other don't. Also, anytime a person brings abuse in a relationship, mental or physical, they are showing you they don't want a relationship but someone to control. Lastly, when the relationship affects your health, it is time to go. An ill mother is no good to her children.

Easy God is not in the business of breaking up families period!

End it, I'm sure whatever God you believe in doesn't want you to have a loveless marriage. I'm also sure your God doesn't want you unhappy.

You know what? People blame a lot of the unhappiness they create themselves on God or the devil.

If you are both unhappy then move on.

I dont think god or the devil really have anything to do with your marriage. Some people just aren't compatible. If you are unhappy, its up to you to do something to change it. God isnt making your marriage bad.

I'd say that it has nothing to do with God or the devil that your marriage isn't happy.

Maybe you married the wrong person, maybe he doesn't love you, maybe you don't love him and can't admit it, maybe you don't know how to communicate, maybe a lot of things!

Don't blame deities and supernational, mythological beings on your problems. That's like people who say that they're fat because their daddy never loved them and it's not their fault that they eat all the time.

If you see a problem, do what you can to fix it. If you don't want to do what you can to fix it, that's probably a good sign that you may want to walk away.

Well ... this it's not God's fault neither Devil's. It's your/your husband's fault.

I thought according to the Bible that you could only divorce due to adultery?

There is no point in living with misery. It's got to be YOUR will to choose happiness over misery.

Don't put the responsibility to god or the devil.
You decide as and when your marriage ends.

Maybe it means that GOD wants better for you and if you are sad in the marriage then its time to leave . (easier said than done)


Charlie Bucket
If ending it would make you happy, it's the devils will, if it would make you sad, must be god's will.

Why would you want to stay? God gives people a brain to use for a reason.


Sapient
Why are you so willing to hand your future over to someone/something else??? Make some decisions that will benefit your life instead of waiting for someone else to make your decisions for you. Believe me, it won't be a god or devil. Your marriage will fail or succeed based on you and your husbands actions ALONE!!

Have you spoken to your pastor? Or perhaps tried fasting? It's one of the best ways of hearing what God is trying to tell you. Thing is, God doesn't like divorce unless it's because of adultery... but only you can discern what His will is for you.

Praying for you very much. x

It's always God's will that works and nothing else. Even Devil cannot do a thing unless God wills.
The problems that you face are within you two and the elements that cause these have come within you is because of God's will. God knows how the current phase of problems have come after 5 years of happiness. He has designed all this. God may still be willing that you two return to your blissful days again. The current phase will pass. God has given you the strength to endure 10 years of discord. If things have become worse recently, that is also God's will. Leave it to Him. He will do whatever is good for you two. You cannot do anything about this on your own except bearing the pain unless God wills differently. Know every minute of yours is God's design.
I pray to God for you.

God always has a plan. When things may not look "good" at the moment it only opens up opportunities for God to show new great things later. The devil will never cause anyone to end a marriage. Don't give the devil any credit for ending any marriages. The devil may be a master of sin but humans make the choices along God's path for us.

probably satan. I dont know what happen between the 2 of you but work on your thing, there is one trend going on right now in relationships : poeple give up and trow their love one away as soon as theres something wrong.

I would say (and Jesus confirmed this when asked about the woman who had been married to seven brothers who each died) that it is never God's will for a marriage to end. Even if two people are both lost/unsaved, they still made a covenant in the presence of God. Try to remember what made you fall in love and want to get married in the first place

Now, we are human and have our flaws and imperfections, so we naturally do not get along 100% of the time. This can also apply to married couples. I would say this - if both of you (and it has to be both - one person cannot do both peoples' share and God will never force either of you to) want your marriage to succeed - and will dedicate whatever effort is required to make it happen - then it will succeed. Just as in pursuing a career choice / education / promotion / etc, if you are determined enough - it will work. But the great thing is that with a marriage you also have God's blessing. If you both open your hearts to God and to each other and stay on the "same team" instead of being "me" and "her/him" you will stay together and succeed. Now this is of course barring a partner who is unwilling to try / change / whatever - and is assuming there is not spousal abuse / infidelity - but even then - God can redeem what is given over to Him. God's word says that you have become "one flesh." May God richly bless your efforts in your marriage.

I don't think it is either God's will or the devil's it is you and your husbands will. You and him need to do what is best for you. If you are unhappy, then I bet your husband is too. You both deserve happiness regardless of the many marriage mistakes you have made. Get a divorce, it might strenghten your relationship. Your soul mate awaits you.

That's the fault of you too. Don't bring other forces into your mess. Own up to it.


sparkylump
You weren't very specific in how "it's getting worse". Not sure if you want the truth or just looking for someone to tell you what you want to hear? If you made a commitment (which I'm sure you did) that you will stay with this man "for better or worse" you need to stay! If you think that he has broken his commitment to you (ie.: been unfaithful, etc.), then maybe you should file for divorce! Just remember that this not only affects you and he, but kids and other family members! Please pray about this and know that I'll keep you in my prayers as well. Good luck and God bless!


kkdbbapz
sometimes its neither, God wants you to be happy and if that is you re happiness then hes not gonna break it, and the devil doesn't make problems, but it does make it worse, he provokes u, and if his goal is to break u he doesn't stop easily, try to work with it and pray to God, if it is the right thing, he will let it happen.


jdf
nobody knows but why stay when love gone


Stephanie H
God love you and he does not want to end your marriage on the other hand satan will want to end it and he will put all kind of things in your way try and see how best you can make it work to be married for 15 years is a long time i think you should try and work it out and stay with your husband for you might end up with some one worse than him.

It is never God's will for a marriage to end. God's word gives you the choice to divorce him if he is abusive. But it's your choice. My husband and I just got done reading a book called "The Five Love Languages" by Gary Chapman. This book is amazing and it's not a very long book either. Our church even has a Wednesday night class that teaches out of this book. Most any bookstore should carry it for $15 or less.

God says till death do you part so as long as you're alive God's Word is for you to be together. Why have you not tried to work things out in 15 years?

Or you could take personal responsibility for your marriage and life. It is you and he that made the choices for your lives not your God or Devil.
