  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

:pray: My husband came over after work last night, the second day in a row to see my son.We began to talk, first about money and how he thinks I am wasting it, how I can't manage a dollar.(My car is in the shop needing 600.00 worth of repairs and I had to have a rental.) I reminded him that he has all of his money in his pocket every week and doesn't pay for a place to live.
I asked him to pray for us, our family, encouraged him to read his bible. He says I haven't made time, I need to make time to read it.I told him I have been on my face before God asking him how to be the wife I need to be. I told him God can heal us. We both started to cry. He told me that he wants a companion. He brought up all the things that made him leave, he keeps focusing on the house and its organization, "I left because of him (meaning our son) not wanting him to hear the arguing etc.
The day before when he came our three year old was clinging to him and trying to pull him back into the house and telling him no, come on back. He said it tore him up to see that.
We hugged and I asked him to think about things, there seemed to be a softening of his heart at that moment.As he was leaving he said he will call me tomorrow. A small breakthrough, I continue to pray for a softening of his heart, ministering angels to surround him, that God would bring Godly men to him, that he would get back into the Word.
I will continue to stand in the Gap for us, our marriage. I feel so broken, wounded and lonely at times. Many times in the last few months I have felt like giving up.Only God can sustain me, no man, not a husband, I know I need to look to him for all that I need.

I will definately be praying for you.

If you are both willing to work on it, and put your lives and marriage before God divorce doesn't have to happen for you. Pick up a copy of Divorce Proofing Your Marriage. (There should be a couple of copies around the used bookstores by now), by Gary and Barb Rosberg. God's best to you and your family.
