Please pray for my marriage.

Yes, I have noticed this. I posted something because I am struggling and someone told me that I was not truly "born again". At first I was offended but thought it through before I responded. I don't think anyone should be questioning someone's salvation just because they are going though hard...

It is ab out a relationship with Jesus Christ not a Bible verse. The Pharasee's held to the law and merely followed versus but most did not have it in their hearts. There is a difference, I honor God in my life as best I can but I honor Him according to His entire word not merely picking and...

Thanks for your reply but if you heard my story you would never question my salvation. Also, I surrendered my life 20 years ago to full time prison ministry and served for over 15 years teaching the gospel and leading many to Christ. To God be the glory for all the good HE has done! God placed...

I just feel stuck and its been going on for a while. I used to walk close with the Lord but I fell for a while and I have been trying to regain my relationship. I just feel so discouraged because of things that have happened. I re-married and now I am regretting it. Been hurt by close family...

Have you watched any Jimmy Evans videos about marriage? Just a suggestion, I know you said your going to counseling and that is awesome but sometimes I watch Jimmy Evans speak because it gives me hope that a man truly can change. It is encouraging for those of us who decide to stick with the...

I am sorry you are going through this. I really don't have much advice except to continue counseling, pray, do your part to honor God through all of this and see what happens. I do truly believe God can and does transform people in miraculous ways. I also believe that through these...

We do often stop too soon at determining the root of the problem. From my experience, it just seems to easy and too common to focus on the superficial and also to focus on the most recent exchange of words, or an argument rather than truly digging in to expose what is really going on. Although...

I can tell you that I have definitely been an emotional abuser to my husband. I am not justifying my behavior but I have never been an emotional abuser to anyone my entire life until now. It also started after realizing how much he has lied and deceived along with his lack of communication and...

Thank you, I agree and have to come to the place where it truly is just a waste of my time, energy and emotions because he has such a difficult time admitting it.

Hi, Thank you for your reply. We tried allowing me to manage the money because it happens to be a strength of mine. i did it for almost three months and not only were all the bills paid on time, I managed to place a decent amount into savings. That didn't last long, he took it all back. he...

Good advice and I am glad to hear I am not alone. I do have a separate account and I stopped bailing him out. I gave him money to buy a used car back in august because he didn't take care of his jeep and the engine blew but...it was either give him money for a car, drive him to work ,or let...

The venting helps me get it off my chest because I don't talk to anyone, especially family because i don't want anyone forming a negative perception of him. I truly believe deep inside that God will heal all this and then use it for His glory. However, venting is not enough. I need...

Thank you for your reply. While I do agree with everything your saying I find myself wondering why it always has to fall on me to understand, show compassion, encourage, build up and so on. I don't mean to sound selfish but I am drowning in my own mental and emotional struggles and I don't...

I am not willing or even considering giving up at this point. I am very dedicated and loyal and I am also very easy going when it comes to other people faults and weaknesses, even with him but I am completely frustrated at this point because it takes two to work it out. Even though he is...
