I too am an introverted person. Many times I left church with a negative attitude about this, that and the other. One day I decided to ask the Lord to give me a love for his people.....to care about those that He cared about.... a heart of compassion for people. Well, let me tell you, God...

Hi Tess, I am so very sorry that you have lived in so much pain and fear and terror for so long. God does not ask any of us to live in such horrible abuse. Not ever, for any reason!!! You were absolutely right to get away from him. God will not hold that against you! He has called us to...

I tend to agree with some of the other posts. God can do anything but your husband must be willing. Does he even see himself as lazy? In praying for your hubby, can you list all the good things about him that you love? Start thanking God for him and all the good. And trust God for the...

This sounds like an issue you guys didnt see coming before you got married. Not judging. It is what it is. Maybe because he was raised a fundamentalist, and taught all the taboos concerning alcohol, he feels you do have a problem. Maybe that scares him and so he tries to control in this...

Hi there, I am so very sorry you are going thru such a difficult situation. I understand that great desire to have children. Have you ever thought of getting some professional help? A counselor could so help give your hubby a different perspective and help him to talk out his fears. They...

Not real sure what you are up against. Is this somewhat your own business? You talk about what you have built in the last 15 years so Im not sure what you are saying. On the other hand, Can your hubby separate this problem coworker from what she does? He may not really dislike her but...

Hi there, don't know if you are still looking at this site. I was in a similar situation as you. The counsel I got was this: God does ask you to stay in an abusive marriage. I was mentally, verbally and emotionally abused as were my children. When it's physical abuse, we know to get out...

When I separated from my husband, the insanity we lived in stopped. My children lost their father so speak. I chose to take that risk because we could not continue as we were especially for my kids (3) sake. It was tuff love for sure. We had already spent much time counseling and he was...

I would say it is time for some action on your part. Can you draw some boundaries? CAn you say in that moment...."when you are ready to talk about this or abide by what we decided to do, let me know". Also, have you considered some personal counseling? Don't know if your partner would...

So very sorry you are dealing with this. I agree with much of the advice on here. Good and sound. If he won't quit and he won't seek counsel then maybe you can tell him that you are going to seek counsel and talk to your pastor.....because you ARE aware of it and it is extremely hurtful and...

I am in a second marriage after many years and as my pastor says....the dating days are just a lie! Meaning, that they are not real life. They are you on your best behavior and him too. You are not really doing the things that make up a day- to -day marriage. it can be a rude awakening for...

I am so sorry you are going thru all this but I agree with you.....way to fast. I was always taught to give yourself four seasons to get to know someone even if you are on the same page spiritually. May I ask what your counselor and spiritual leaders are saying? I tend to agree with most of...

FOLLOW YOUR HEART!!! Your gut instincts are correct. You say he is sucking the life out of you and you are only texting and emailing! You also have said you know you can't save him. Right? You can't save him from himself! You have suggested counseling and he has refused the one thing that...
