Is separation good or bad

[Minister Theresa Cooper]

Hello people of God, I am coming asking for prayer for my marriage. My husband and I just reached six years of marriage. The past two years have been rough. We are talking of separating. Good or bad? Saints please help me out!

[Minister Theresa Cooper]

Thank you man of God, this is great advice but it takes two willing spirits!!!!!! Right now we only have one that's willing to work. He was the one that stepped out but I am the one working hard to try to salvage our marriage!

Minister Theresa, just know that I am praying for your marriage. You received some wonderful advice but we know unless you been through it, it is easier said than done. I am going on 16 years of marriage, and trust me we all have faults. If you remember anything I wrote choose your battles!!! Also, take each day one step at a time, pray and petition God for mercy because you will experience days of wanting to give up on all that you have invested, but don't. Stand firm on the word of God, even when you don't want to stand. Even though you feel like this cup is too much to bear, it isn't. He will make a clear path for you to follow. We are humans and sometimes things take longer than others to place behind us. If you can, please hold on to your marriage, just like children it is a wonderful gift from God.

Sis Cooper,

The question to ask yourself is, "Why are we getting separated?" Are you getting separated for divorce sake or are you getting separated for reconcilliation? Separation is not a good thing unless there is a particular goal in mind. We can not get separated just "because" we do not know what to do next or just because we are frustrated. I understand that there can be critical issues in a relationship that can warrant separation. However, if separation can be avoided, then avoid it. Separation allows too much opportunity for the enemy to come in and destroy what was good. Now, I used the word "enemy" but the "enemy" may not be a person. The enemy can be too much space, time or opportunity for our mind to wander off on things that it shouldn't.

As long as both parties are still believers in action and not just in word, then abide together. There is a text in 1 Corinthians 7 that talks about divorce. I realize that you are not referencing divorce but I just think that it somewhat applies in this situation. Also, let there be some fruit to the actions. That is, let both parties seek the necessary counsel that is needed to help the situation so that separation is avoided.

[Minister Theresa Cooper]

Thanks so much. We talked about separation only with reconciliation in mind!!!!

[Prophet Gary Becton]

God bless you woman of God, First is your Husband saved and going to church, if the answer is yes, then you two must Go to God in fasting and prayer, Please do not entertain devoice that is a trick from the enemy. If He is not beating you then you two have a chance, if you are being beaten than get out and get out now. Your Answer is in God, for you two came in covernant relationship with God, He will keep you two together if you are seeking Him and living a righteous life, the enemy will work overtime to seperate you and your husband, because he has seen the ministry God has prepared for you. Go to your Bible look in the back under marriage study the scriptures with your Husband.
