I know that for us standers there are many days when the pain of separation or divorce gets to us and we ask ourselves "why am I doing this"?, Well I had to remind myself of this and I just wanted to share it with you all a little story I wrote. No matter what we can't give up. Think of the day you and you spouse got married. It was so exciting. There wasn't another place, another person, or time on this earth that would have made any of us happier. God was there, witnessing what he had put together and putting his blessings on us. 
 Now on all of our wedding days we took vows similar to these; "I Ronnie take you, Tina, as my Wife. To have and to hold. To honor and cherish. In sickness and in health, for rich or for poor, in good times and bad, until death takes us apart." WOW, I almost started crying thinking about that.
 For most of us we can say that today we are experiencing "the bad". Sometimes that "bad" hurts our hearts so much that we just want to give up and walk away. But we can't, resite your vows again and think about what you said to God and your spouse on that day.
 What would we standers have done if our spouses had not left us but instead had been kidnapped? What if we were at home and one day we got a call saying our spouses had been taken hostage and the only way they wouldn't be killed is if we showed up and had to risk our very lives to save them. Imagine the kidnapper even putting your spouse on the phone, holding a gun to their heads, and making them say the most painful, evil things to you. You know they dont mean those words but they are being influenced into saying them. Would you still come to try to save them? I would. See thats EXACTLY what has happened to our spouses now. satan has kidnapped them, held them hostage, made them say and do things, and dared us to come and fight for them. It first it feels like going to a gun fight with a sling shot until we finally stop trying to fight alone and call in the ultimate weapon against satan, JESUS. Jesus has never lost a battle against satan so why do we continue to fight satan without him. Call on him, tell him your situation, continue to pray and stand during the fight and know that when the dust settles Jesus will be walking out with our spouses over his shoulders. All we have to do is take them home, love them in what ever condition they are in, help put spritual bandages on their wounds and allow Jesus to move into our homes with us to make sure satan doesn't try to sneak back in to take them again.
PRAY, BELIEVE, NEVER GIVE UP!!!

Wow...Thank you brother for that. God drew me to click on your post. I had a basic understanding of standing in the gap and fighting with Jesus at my side, but I spend too much time kicking myself for mistakes I have made. Time I could better spend doing battle. I love my family and I will NOT give up and let satan have them. God bless you. Rick

That was awesome! I am not married, but just had a challenge while visiting my ex-fiance in prison. He was very cruel towards me. I was upset, but I have to remember that Satan was influencing him. I knew he was not in his right mind. He was really suffering due to his recent incarceration.

Stay strong in your faith. Gods does not break his promises. Its so easy to look at our loved ones with disappointment because they are the ones we phyiscally see hurting us, but remember they are under satan influence.
Jesus can and will break that influence but we must standin the gap
