Neglecting your marital duties

PART 3.....
She decided that night that she had had enough of Kenny's erratic behaviour and they needed counselling. she waited for him to come home the next morning but he never showed up. she called him around noon when she was getting worried but he did not pick her calls. she got a text shortly after saying,
''I am quite surprised you are looking for me. Don't worry, I am fine. Don't let me distract you from God''.
she decided it was time to seek counsel from herpastor's wife.
As she sat down with Mummy as they normally call her that evening after a word of prayer and recounted the full story of their challenges from the beginning of the fasting period. she was quite hopeful that she will get solutions on the next step to take. Mummy looked at her and shook her head as she showed her the last text she got from Kenny from her phone.
''Sister Lola, what does the Bible say about our parents and honour?'' asked the pastor's wife
''Honour your father and mother, that your days might be long'' she quickly replied wondering why they were talking about her parents when it was her marriage that needed healing.
''Do you remember when you came to me and decided you wanted to marry this young man who was barely a baby in the lord. I warned you to look for giants in the spirit. If you had honoured my words, surely the days of your marriage would have been long'', she said with obvious annoyance.
''I am sorry mummy, I love my husband and I think he loves God too'' she replied immediately
''He loves God? You are still defending his actions? A man that cannot agree with you in prayer? That will not deny his body to feed his spirit? She asked me.
''I am sorry ma'' she quickly said. Mummy was known for her short temper and I did not want to get on her bad side.
''Anyway the deed has been done. We need to find a way forward. You see the devil is not resting. He is obviously seeking to devour your marriage. Remember the scripture in Ephesians 6: 12 says, we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers and against the rulers of the darkness of this world. The battle is not with your husband. It is a fight in the spirit''.
''Okay ma'' she said.
''The devil knows this fast is going to liberate your marriage and he wants to stop it at all cost. The flesh will be satisfied eventually but you need to be spiritually fortified first. So make sure you complete it in total consecration to God''.
''Okay ma. What do I now do about his refusal to come home ma?''
''Oh don't worry Lola, he will come home. He is like the prodigal son, he will surely return. Let us pray my dear''.
By the time she left my pastor's house after about two hours of prayer. she felt stronger and better. Kenny was just over reacting and she was definitely on the right course. she just needed to keep praying and not let my faith be shaken. When she got home and met Kenny relaxing in the sitting room, it confirmed to me that everything mummy said was correct since he returned like she had prophesied.
As the days passed things got more estranged. Kenny stopped going to our church and demanded she move to this new church he found. Of course she vehemently refused. It is important to be grounded and not church belly-hopping. she got daily text motivations from her mummy in the lord and that just encouraged her.
Finally the last day of the 100 days came and it was announced in church that couples should endeavour to attend together since there was going to be an all night prayer. she begged and pleaded with Kenny but he adamantly refused. she went to church alone that night and prayed every prayer possible. her joy knew no bounds the next morning because she knew that all the fight she had been having with Kenny was finally going to be over. She was going to make sure we had as much sex as he wanted that night.
