Can God restore my broken marriage?
Without a doubt, God can restore your marriage. No matter how messed up it has been, the Lord can restore it. Marriage is God’s idea (Gen. 2:24), and a broken family is not His will. Here are some promises of God concerning your marriage:
God will protect your marriage
In 2 Thes. 3:3, God promises that He will protect you from the evil one, including in support of your marriage. You only have to trust in God’s faithfulness. For ages, the devil has been causing divorce in every generation. But God promises protection for you and your spouse. He will give you the strength to carry on and hold on to your marriage.
God has a great purpose even in your pain
The Lord will not let your pain be put to waste. He has a great purpose in your marriage despite what you are going through today. God assures us that all things will work together for good (Rom. 8:28). He is so great that He can even use our bad experiences to lead us to something better.
God is against separation
God desires unity in the family. He doesn’t want to see your children living in a broken home. The Lord commands wives not to separate from their husbands (1 Cor. 7:10). Your husband might be pushing you away today, but because God is on your side, he will return to you. Surrender your pain to God and live each day knowing that the Father in heaven loves you.
