Don’t make threats. Threats don’t mean you’re a bad person, they just mean that you’ve learned a bad habit, one you should unlearn. The problem with threats is that they encourage people to do the right things for the wrong reasons: your spouse shouldn’t feel obligated to save the marriage because you’re threatening to keep him from seeing his kids, or threatening to take him for every dime he has, or maybe even threatening to commit suicide. These type of threats only make you look mentally unstable and just may scare him away for good. Get help. Counseling can be a way to simply explore possibilities. A trained psychologist or Christian counselor will help the both of you work on stabilizing your marriage. It’s always helpful to speak with someone outside your circle. Someone who will not offer a biased opinion. If this option is too expensive, most churches offer free marriage counseling. It’s definitely something worth checking into. Gather supportive friends/ family who will join you in prayer for your marriage. At a time when you feel so helpless, the last thing you need are negative people giving you advice they would never follow themselves. When your emotions are on a rollercoaster, you’ll need the safety of friends, and relatives who are genuinely interested in your well being. Don’t be ashamed to find comfort in your loved ones. But take it to the Lord, before you take it to anyone else. Even if you are separated, Remember that your marriage is not over until the papers are signed. A lot can change between the time a spouse moves out and divorce papers are signed. While I don’t want to offer false hope, many marriages can be saved if certain actions are taken, and certain destructive actions are avoided.
