If you're a wife in a difficult marriage, Nancy Lee-Demoss has a word of encouragement for you.

God does not hold you accountable for your husband's choices.

God holds you accountable to obey him, and God can and will bless you regardless of what your mate chooses to do.

This is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee DeMoss for Wednesday, July 12th.

Romans 12th 12th, if possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

That can be more difficult when the one you have to live peaceably with is your husband.

We're in the middle of a series called, For Better or Worse, Marriage When It's Tough.

Nancy Lee-Demoss was joined by her friend and pastor's wife, Holly Elif, in a question and answer session for wives. Here's Nancy.

I have to read to you an email that I received this week from a woman who said a little over six

years ago I was divorced. I was completely lost

and confused. Some days I felt it was hopeless. However, I never stopped seeking God's direction.

Talking and praying to him one day, I asked him to tell me what to do, which way to go.

And his message was very clear. The truth shall set you free. The truth was the word of God.

And so I stuck my nose in His Word, even though I'd read it many times, and sincerely searched

for more answers to understand what God wanted me to do. And in His Word, his message was finally

revealed. Did you get where she got the message? In his word, the truth was revealed.

It was to reconcile with my husband.

Through prayer from our families and friends,

we were finally able to forgive one another

and begin the process of reconciliation.

As she said, I strongly urge women to pray for their husbands

and husbands for your wives.
