agreed, but only with Holy Spirit-led professional help. I have seen too many Christian marriages destroyed by "Christian" counselors who had intended good, but ultimately failed their clients because of their own views about what the marriage relationship should be. Trust me, it happens more...

Just an addendum to what you mentioned and just my opinion, but based on much experience - it's also important not to use counseling as a replacement for God in people's lives. Counselors are only human and often do make mistakes, and many times, if not chosen very carefully and at the leading...

Are you married or still engaged? Boy that's a lot to go through if you're only yet engaged...but I have to say that you have truly found the truth that many Christian husbands have yet to find: Eph 5:25,26 (KJV) Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave...

Bro (Sadfella), I'm not sure you understand - there's way more to God than just praying to Him. If you haven't accepted Jesus as your savior, God has no obligation to listen to your cries for help or anything you pray about. I'm talking about a turning point in your life, a life-altering...

water_ripple, Now that was one heck of a post! I have to apologize, I know how confusing it can be to find a good church with good teaching, especially if you're not sure about what you should be hearing; sometimes I forget because I was raised in a Christian home. You just keep praying for...

Thank you for the blessings! Thank you even more for sharing your story - many people need to hear the truths you talked about. God bless. - blitzn

Wow, your story does sound very much like what I am going through with my wife, pretty amazing. I have felt so alone (except for the Lord of course) in the type of situation that I'm in because it's so complicated; it's a blessing to see someone who has been there and has fought through it with...

fulfilled, That's so awesome - you have discovered what many people need to know about a healthy marriage; makes me smile to see the Lord move that way for His children. I had thought that my wife and I were the same in that regard (the Lord's place in our respective lives) before we got...

No, your words are fine, thank you... I don't think I could hurt anymore that I have/do. In the midst of all this, I have an inner strength only the Lord could provide, but I have a pretty soft heart, I always have; Part of me hurts with the pain of what she has done to me, and the other part...

Everyone makes mistakes...you should be honest with your husband and tell him the truth, maybe not all at once, but you'll need to as there is a trust that's been violated. At least give him a chance to see where his heart is; it will hurt, but hurt can pass, and if he knows the Lord, much grace...

Are you both saved? There is going to be a reason your wife is stand-offish toward you in that regard. Is your relationship in a place where if you ask her nicely and sincerely, that she will share with you what's on her heart? - blitzn

Have you made a decision for Jesus yet? Just curious. If you really want help, He's the best place to start. I mentioned before, I think He's calling you to Him... -blitzn

Thank you so much, I very much do need it. It seems every other day my feelings about what to do are swinging back and forth. As yet my wife is unwilling to submit to anything that she should (most of all God); it's so great to see you and your husband get over such an obstacle with the Lord's...

I just mentioned this one in another thread, it has helped me immensely by showing the truths found in the Word about marriage and family: http://www.restoreministries.net - blitzn

http://www.restoreministries.net, but specifically here: http://www.restoreministries.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi?page=restored_marriages You'll see references to a book in many of the testimonies, and if you're someone like me, you may initially think that it's a sales scam or something...

Just wanted to make my entry is this thread in faith! I know of at least two marriages of folks here at CF that were restored, and not only that, but they were renewed in only the way the Lord can. I'll let those folks speak for themselves, hehe. There are tons of stories at the Restore...

First of all, the essay is not an article and is not presented as fact. The story is fiction, but the devices/methods that Satan uses in the physical realm (many listed in the essay) are not fiction at all. I shouldn't have to say this, but this story should not be taken literally. I think it...

that's not the half of the story...when my wife came to the singles get-together (horseback riding), she didn't come until it was almost over and almost left because she knew her former fiance was supposed to be there too (she called it off with him before then). She told me she actually drove...

Peter, the essay was just designed to give folks some life perspective. I didn't write it, but agree with most of what the author wrote. Interesting question I just thought about: Aren't the ten commandments laws that were given under the "old convenant" and specifically for Jews of the day...

Well Mr. Stace, Mine is an interesting story and let me start off by saying yes, I do believe with all my heart that the Lord brought my wife and I to each other when the time was right. For the few years before I met my wife I had not been too picky concerning who I dated because I was...
