If I Could Talk To My Wife This is What I'd Say

I love her very much and do not want this divorce to go through. I have been trying to reconcile but haven't heard anything from her yet. I have repented of the carnality I was in and have made definite changes and want to do better serving God with her. I want her to have the house if she divorces me because I am not selfish any more and want her to be taken care of.  Also, I have studied the scriptures and only see three reasons for divorce to take place: (1) If one of us dies then the other would be free to marry

1 Corinthians 7:39


“The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.” 


(2) If one of us is an unbeliever and neither one of us is

1 Corinthians 7:15



“But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.”
Even if one of us is an unbeliever, if the unbeliever is pleased to dwell with the other we still cannot biblically be divorced, I am pleased to dwell with you even if I am an unbeliever (which I am not)
1 Corinthians 7:14,15
And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.


And (3) 

And if one committed fornication and this is not the case


Matthew 19:9



And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

I will wait on my wife as long as it takes for her to  come back to me so we can serve the Lord together, but if Pauline decides to take another man to marry it would be a godly and decent thing to let me know, as then the marriage is over biblically. Also I wanted her to know that I still disagree with the contract and the false gospel Mark preaches about being in a local church body and tying salvation with church attendance. I still love all at LFCF and have no ill will against them as I am serving Christ. Also, I am only doing what Mark Bullen did years ago as he left many church bodies and disagreed with them on doctrine. I disagree with him on doctrine also. I love Pauline and would love for her to come back to me so we can serve Jesus and grow old together. 
In Christian love,
