I am currently dealing with a situation where I am contemplating divorce and I am searching for answers, if possible. My husband is not church member but has attended church with myself and my children a few times, however, he has returned to his drug use. He says that he "needs" the drugs to cope, etc. but I know differently. After many, many times of trying to help him, praying together, etc. I discovered that he is doing it again. Basically, my question is, what is the biblical answers to this in regards to a divorce? Previously, infidelity occurred but I forgave him and took him back saying that we would work things out. I think that this was basically the straw that broke the Camel's back and I really do not feel like resuming the relationship. The drug use and his problems caused me a great deal of stress and with the exception of his begging to return to the home constantly and his blaming me for everything, my life with my children is so much more peaceful and comfortable. I have been able to concentrate more on my Bible studies and talking to the Lord. I feel like this is the right thing to do but I also know that as Christians, we are to forgive, pray and keep trying. The drug use has caused some financial difficulty and severe emotional stress for our family. What is the right thing to do? I already pray for God to watch over him and somehow go into his heart and soul. I just really have a difficult time trusting him to be in our home. It may even be a safety i ss ue and I have always protected my children and have been the only provider for our entire family. Please help, I would really appreciate anything you can tell me.
