: My wife left me about two months ago saying she just needed time to decide if she wanted to stay married to me or not. I had always tried to give her what she wanted and show her love. She insisted on taking a job in a bar 3 nights a week. That was eight months ago. I knew that it would eventually cause big problems in our marriage but she would not listen and went to work anyway. Now she says it was nothing I did and that she knows I love her very much and am good to her. She says she knows it would be a mistake to leave me but that she would be doing it for MY benefit not hers. She has decided to come home in a couple of days to stay with me for a few weeks. After that she will go home to Thailand to visit her parents for a couple of months. She says she wants to come home and try to be a better wife but that she cannot make any promises. The past two months have been hell on earth. Not knowing where she was or what she was doing all the time caused many sleepless nights and worry-filled days. She has hurt me so bad that I am terrified it will happen again. I do forgive her and don't even want to know what she has been doing the past two months. God has been strengthening me little by little and I have given up many sinful activities trying to do what God wants me to do and live how he wants me to live. I have rededicated my life to Jesus and want to live for Him. I know that is the ONLY thing that will save my marriage. My wife is not Christian but I have found her a NIV New Testament translated into Thai. Please pray for her salvation and our marriage. My name is James and hers is Ae. Any words of encouragement would be very welcome. Thank you all. God bless
