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.
it is hard

Know that you are not alone. There are a handful of us on this forum standing for our marriages and leaning on the promises of God. Hang in there, keep praying, focus on the Lord and not your wife (trust me on that one).phantom_309 said:

I went through the exact same thing - I understand 100% how you are feeling. I love my (ex)wife more than she'll ever know, and it took a divorce for me to realize that and want to change.phantom_309 said:
And even in the midst of all of this, I'm so glad that I've learned so much about myself and God's grace. This is the time to focus on God - put her out of your mind (to an extent) so that she doesn't become an idol. Believe me when i say that the few communications that I've received from her have been when she's NOT #1 on my mind... I only hear from her when I'm focused on God.
Focus on God. Seek his face. Make that your #1 priority... And pray!

I know your story too well. I am the wife of someone who gives very little affection. It wasn't always this way. I also felt for years that my hubby thought nothing of me. However, he tells me he is working on this now. I don't see much of a difference.
I'm not sure if it is too late for us. I don't know what I want to do with this right now.
You and your wife will be in my prayers.
God bless

I have found great peace and have been given a calm sound mind thanks to our Lord through a huge amount of prayer. He realy is the only way!
Still praying for you and your wife. Hang in there.

Hang in there, everyone! there is POWER in sharing our struggles and how God's reaching us in these hard times .... bug, big VIRTUAL hugs or just even smiles

this isnt something he can change over night. it takes some time but just like me and your husband, he can not get in a comfort zone and think in time you will forget. Not that is our thinking but if he is not careful it will be back to same ol thing over and over again. continue to pray and God Bless.. I wish you only the best
