Go and get your wife back. There's no joy in divorce especially as there's no evidence of extra marital affair.

Settle it with her.

You need to report her to elders in her family.

How about moving away from the vicinity of that church?

There are many options for you to consider if you truly love your wife.

Women ordinarily turn towards religion and spirituality more compared to the men.

If she wants to be religious how about you both embark on that journey together.

Sit her down and discuss and decide together which Church you both want to start attending. Etc.

Communication is key in every marriage. All the best.

Something is wrong about the church... For the fact that u have reported to matter to her pastor. A real man of God will ensure that peace is restored in that marriage/home. Her pastor is a selfish man.. I really doubt if that church is a true church of Jesus Christ. These days we have men opening churches and working for their belly and not for Jesus. Secondly, it looks like u don't go to church. Ur wife is looking for solution to a problem which u are not aware of, but maybe in the wrong place. May God help both of u.

Baba first of all I really don’t think your wife is really in love with you tho
1: First you are to be blame married for 7years and you didn’t built her into a go getter kind of woman why isn’t she working and earning a living for the Family and you said she has a shop, you should have make impact on how you plan to bring the shop to it’s peak for the family benefits unless you get married to a lazy wife tho
2: secondly when you ask for the divorce what was her reply her mood cause if she feels it normal my brother that wife of yours has been fucking around be that ooo
3: what did her friend did when she told them you asked for a divorce have they come visiting and begging and the Pastor has he come pleading cause they are quick to come to your door when you said she should attend the church again
Brother if them no show am happy to tell you that you have been the only one in the marriage for some time now, you just getting to know Baba

Kindly stop the agreement u made with her not to born now, if she has children she will listen to u well, offspring keeps marriage healthy, that will engage her with domestic activities, don't ever allow ur wife to go another church from your church, don't divorce her.

You v your final decision. But if true your allegation is intact, your wife is making mistakes with her New Zealand for church. Biblically, she's supposed to submit more to your authority. She should only be involved with church more only during time & days you or her kids won't need her services.
If it's me, I d v reported her to her family. If it persist, I m separating. Imagine that part where you said its even affecting her biz.
Investigate that church sef. Which Pastor without common sense ll hold people's wives, kids, husbands to church activities without considering their family. It fit be all these yahoo boy pastors that fornicate with women & scam them.

This might sounds insane to many people but that's the pure truth,,my family life is at the brink(divorced but not yet legal)

as am typing this, i'm in deep confusion and pain.
It started some years back, my wife started going to this church (name withheld) that one of her friends invited her to join, at first i really don't care cause women(or girls)of nowadays can't be controlled cause of this equality bull.shit.

Now it's affecting me and i can't cope again,Monday to Sunday now it's one programme after anoder,,night vigil,special prayers and all.

Sometimes I eat late in the night,she would'nt return on time to prepare dinner,no time to have normal and enjoyable s€x with my spouse,she is always busy with church activities

I've complained several times and she will always promise to change,all to no avail,i even asked her never to attend dat church again,next ting i know their pastor was at mah door step begging me to retract my decision that evriting will change..(noting changes,it's even worse)

So,since i can't make her to desist from goin to the said church,i actually commot her from my house,since dat church is affecting her business also,she does'nt have time for shop again..

The main reason i wrote all dat sermon is dat,was i wrong in anyway? Cause i'm feeling guilty rite now and dats wots causing d pain in mah heart

ignore all typo and just try to get my point,,,PLEASE HELP A BRODER AM REALLY CONFUSED...tnx in advance

The pastor or one of the regular guy in that church is giving your wife better bed attention. Forget this church scam stuffs, just get yourself another babe before you die prematurely

Leave your wife outta this and approach the pastor. Nothing should put asunder not even the church. Let him know he should be expecting another approach next your wife violates your rule because of his doctrines.

the first paragraph states divorce bt nt Legal.
The Church is not the only problem in your family.. Go and bring back your wife.

I know of a similar story, the lady attends a Church the husband took her to. He was controlling the wife to the extend she bought 2 cars and he seize the keys. When she get fed up and left he started blaming the the Church.

Oga, you are very wrong for driving away your wife.. I put it to you that you were the reason she was sleeping in the said Church. You created this thread out of guilt. If you don't go and bring her back, the guilt will kiil you.

Re: Is Church Life Suppose To Affect Family Life? by StarUp: 2:30pm On Aug 04, 2018
Op if you are saying the "whole truth", then you should know that:

1. Someone outside your home is controlling your marriage and it doesn't have to be the devil.

2. Your wife is tired of the marriage that's why she is allowing that "someone" to interfere in the marriage.

3. There is something your wife is searching for out there in the name of going to church that you don't know about (women are deep).

4. The foundation of your marriage was faulty from the start and that's why all these are happening (the Bible says in Psalm 11:3 that "if the foundation be destroyed, what can the righteous do?"winkso don't put the entire blame on her.

5. What she had expected in the marriage is not what she is seeing now that's why she is using church to hide her frustrations....and the points are endless.

Now what is the way out?

1. Sit down and identify who or what is trying to break your marriage (you don't have to even pray)...it may even be a habit you have that she is tired of.

2. Read books on great marriage or how to make marriage work(it is knowledge you need bro. and not prayer).

3. Ask your wife what she thinks will make a woman(not her o: you have to use scope otherwise she will detect) happy in marriage, then go to work on her answer.

4. Sneak to that church like two or three times to observe how things are done or send someone if you don't want to be detected. You can go to the evening services after they have finished calling out for first timers. The information you get there will help you make an informed decision.

5. Identify things that she likes in a man and things that naturally give her joy and start doing them...it could be helping out with house chores or banging her real good in a way that will make her scream your name for more.

Above all, commit your home to God in prayers because EXCEPT THE LORD BUILDS THE HOUSE, THEY LABOUR IN VAIN THAT BUILD IT.

God bless you!!!

i hate women that cant respect her husband same way she respects her pastor, religion have caused more harm that good in the marriage institution. my brother don't feel guilty you did the right thing, there is always time for everything.
if she feels remorseful and is willing to change positively do take her back.
If any woman try that poo with me, i no mind to divorce her during honeymoon. They worship pastors instead of God. If the said wife understand christianity, she wouldn't jeopardize her family for some hypocritical reasons. How on earth can a church make people (especially women) attend church everyday knowing fully well they are supposed to be taking care of family and business? I don't know how they go about dragging the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to that end buh it's totally insane, most of the so called pastors self don't know a thing about Christianity, all they do is force/make their followers worship them. And why a supposed matured family woman would introduce a pastor to her family affairs also baffles me. I might eventually end up not getting married sha, cuz most of the things i hear about family and how they go about taking the pains and ish, not me and you. You must never talk to anyone about us, not even your inner man (woman). We are who we are, we must set everything right on our own.

First, Since u aren't finding inner peace after ur decision it then proves that its not d right decision for u at least for ur peace of mind.


Secondly, your wife needs to be called to order. Do not divorce her. Give her another chance to change n pls be strict this time. The bible says there is time for everything.
Re: Is Church Life Suppose To Affect Family Life? by Scolari020(m): 2:35pm On Aug 04, 2018
These seem 2 b complicate, reason is dat a wife should b sumitive 2 her husband nd child. Can i say u shuld divoce her becoz she was influence by a friend, dont be so surprise if u find out ur wife is engage to another man from the same church that her friend force on her, all the church thing is just to cast ur face of it so u wont suspect her. My advice nw is to call ur wife friend ask her if the way ur wife hv time for her church is the same way her friend do, if nt sumtin got to be fish out. Using church to covered her bad habit outside her marriage.

First I will take this from a Christian's point of view.
Second I will assume what the OP posted is the whole story.

Your duties to God begin from those immediately around you. This means husband/wife and children first. IN THAT ORDER. Anyone doing “church“ or ministry work to the detriment or family and secular work is not working for God.

I remember a testimony from my youth. The lady was always at the church early in the morning everyday to clean up before she leaves for her paid employment. As a result she always got to work sometime after 9am. One morning while cleaning she heard a voice from God asking what time it was. It was well after 8am. God asked her what time her office was open and when she was to resume. She said 8 am. God asked what she was doing in church. He took no pleasure in her service.

It is very easy for people to make their churches into emotional crutches and fail to see the damage they are causing in their secular lives. Even the bible admits that we are IN this world and so should render to Ceaser what is his.

Also realise that there are church leaders who like to make a cult following for themselves, where everything about the lives of their members is tied to them. I fear your wife is in such a setting.

Breaking someone out of a cult is an extremely difficult thing. You can Google and see what steps can fit your situation. But know one thing. Agressive displays of anger will drive her further into that cult mentality and further away from you.

But how did your wife get to become a member of a church you are not a part of? Did you have a church you were both committed to when you got married?
just look at the way you are saying 'Cult' 'cult' 'cult'.... You've judged and condemned her already without knowing the whole story. And you call yourself a Christian.

Why did she start attending the church in the first place? If you had any spiritual headship over your family as you are supposed to then she would not leave you and be attending a new church, I hope you are not cheating or doing something that made her be jumping from church to church looking for solutions because these pastors smell vulnerable women like bloodhounds.


Anyway, you need to reclaim your spiritual headship of your family, draw close to God and lead your family to a place of worship you are comfortable with
