You are young, get on with your life.
He has a free will, God can't make him change his will.
You can find someone else.
He has already found someone else, and he is happy.
You don't deserve him.
He doesn't deserve you.
Your kids will adjust fine without their father.
You will get over it.
I am getting what I deserve.
My spouse has someone else, so what's wrong with me being with someone else?
How can God ever use you for anything?
You can't tell others about marriage healing, look at your mess of a life!
Your life is all screwed up and there is no way out.
You will be broke the rest of your life.
You will never have anything.
God is cursing you for sinning, you deserve what you have gotten.
There are lots of other "good " people for God to use, why would he choose YOU?
It's all your fault.
He left because of you.
She is much more beautiful than you.
She can show him more love than you.
He is happy, just leave him alone.
Do you really want to be married to someone like THAT?
We were unequally yoked to start with.
she's never coming home.
you were not good enough to her.
she is enjoying her independence too much.
the settlement will give her more independence.
she really never loved me, and I was not a good enough lover anyway.
It was all a lie from the beginning, she never should have married me.
Her boyfriend is much better because he is so laid back and she does whatever she wants(even if it neglects the kids).
Maybe God just has someone better for you. That's why your spouse hasn't returned.
You've prayed for so long, can't you see that it's not working!
If God really wanted you two back together he would have done it already.
Do you really think that what he/she said/did can be forgiven?
People don't forgive that easily.
Do you remember all the pain he/she caused you? If not, let me remind you!
If your spouse comes back home, you'll still have an unhappy marriage.
The sex with you could never be as good as with the noncovenant partner.
When you really love someone you set them free (according to the worlds standards of freedom).
Can't you see that you are building false hope in the children and setting them up for more pain.
You just married the wrong person.
What are you stupid? He said that he's not coming home. Nothings changed.
The bible says that if an unsaved spouse leaves let him go.
God wants you to have peace. Hasn't the home been peaceful since he left?
Look at you! He treats you badly and yet you forgive him.
He's having a great time and you're not.
If you just dated or had sex with another man he would get jealous and come home.
Your spouse will never appreciate you.
"It doesn't matter, I really don't miss him anyway! Who needs him around again? I'm doing better by myself!"
"I'm not even sure if I still love him. I don't "feel" love today!"
"His girlfriend is younger and prettier than me. He'll never choose me over her."
"He apparently loves her more than he ever loved me. They must really get along great!"
"I give up. I can't wait any longer. I'm lonely and I need love."

Praying won't change things
God won't forgive you
You brought your problems on yourself, so you are getting what you deserve
You can't wait any longer
You are too tired to continue doing this
There is someone better- just give up on your husband
He is not worth it.
-They are never coming home. You'll stand alone for the rest of your life.
-You don't have to suffer and do without. Find someone else and be happy.
no one loves you
you are not going to make it
your husband dosen't want you
your husband dosen't love you
your going to be poor
your too old to have another baby
your health won't hold up during the pregancy
you will be stuck raising the child by yourself
your marriage is not going to last
some other woman is going to steal your husband
I can't do this. There is too much opposition from my family and friends. ( I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.)
I think satans worse lie is when he puts her in my mind so much I start to lose Faith in who is number one in my life her or the Lord.
-you deserve a strong, handsome man to hold you and take care of you since God is not big enough to bring your own husband home
-you need closure or you will never have any peace in your heart
-I will give you a feeling of release in your heart so you will know when it is time to give up on that rotten husband of yours and move on with your life
-you need a fresh start and a new beginning
-God does NOT keep his promises-he lied when he said your husband was coming home
-you can be my spokeswoman to tell the world that covenant is just a bunch
of garbage
-stick with me kid-nothing is impossible with me
-I can make all your wildest
dreams come true-you'll have a great future with me for eternity
