Why would God allow my wife to leave?

[single_again]

My wife and I have been married for one year. We have been together for 6 years. She is a new christian where as I have been a casual christian my whole life untill recently. I love my wife and our life dearly. Recently she told me she isn't in love with me anymore and wants a divorce because she is having crushes on other guys. She doesn't want to do counceling together or work on things. Just plain wants out. She still calls me her best friend and we don't fight really ever. I thought we had it really good. She has started filling out the paperwork and is getting ready to move back to her home town.

I feel as though since her recent acceptance of christ she has been bombarded with worldly wants and desires. She is looking for the "fantasy husband" (her exact words) who can give her butterfly's every hour of every day. I don't think she realizes that it takes work with ANYONE after the honeymoon.

My family and I believe there is a lot of spiritual warfare going on in the background. Some of the things she is saying are so irrational and unlike her it doesn't feel real. Will God bring her back to me and why would this be happening? Is God trying to teach her or I a lesson or is this just a result of pure sin? I am looking for some silver linings in this because I know God would never want a divorce right?

If God tries to make her work it out, he would be violating "free will." So she will do what she wants to do.

I think all you can do is to try to get her to go to counceling. If that doesn't work, then you need to heal from this experience. I would suggest finding a support group of people going through what you are going through.

Maybe in the end you will look back and believe that God is leading someone new into your life.

Single again, your wife wanting a divorce solely for the purpose of possibly being with some other person is precisely what Jesus and Moses were both dealing with.
Jesus says your wife will be committing adultery if she does divorce you and marries another, and she clearly is doing so if she sleeps around.

I would agree that this is a spiritual war that she is giving in to.
Its really heartbreaking because that feeling she is looking for never lasts. Infatuation is normal in any new relationship, but is soon replaced with either disappointment or a genuine, godly kind of love.
It sounds as if with your wife it is the former.

If she doesnt get control of this now, she will most likely spend her life being used by different men, then end up lonely and miserable later on in life.

Keep praying for her...hopefully her heart will change before too much damage is done.
