I gave it 23 yrs. I got tired of the emotional abuse and verbal abuse. Our kids are l8,20, and l2.. We broke up 2 times before but I always felt sorry for him, and went back. I went to counseling and he attended 3 times. Needless to say, it didn’t work. We went to church off and on for about 13 years. Even joining the church didn’t help. We haven’t been intimate in 3 or 4 yrs. I have prayed and prayed. Stay married for the kids sake ? I am afraid of making God mad at me. I am a teacher and he is a VP of a company. We have never seen eye to eye. We got married for the wrong reasons. (just to get married) He is not a Christian. We were unequally yoked and I tried to help him spiritually. Sometimes he was open and sometimes not. He has a bad temper, is moody, and a workaholic. He is bad at namecalling and being obsessive compulsive. He thinks everyone is an idiot. I came from an alcoholic father in the home….I just want to be at peace for a change. What do I do?
I am struggling with this decision. I made the mistake of marrying a non-christian. So do I sacrifice and hang in there or move on. ??????
Well friend…heres what I say about that….God is true and just and he knows your heart. That is so true about being unequally yoked to unbelievers..I have heard that for years before I married how serious marriage was in life. It is the next most important decision next to devoting your life to God. I would say pray to God he knows when we have had all we can stand. There is a song the issacs sing "He understands my tears" very true. He knows when we have all we can stand on us and all we can bear. Ask him to move now………seek him day and night..for this…..that means whole heartidly…….in the morning when you wake up seek him….at work or during the day…at lunch…….and at dinner and before you go to bed. Do this for as long as you can and beg him daily to move for you and come by. He will not fail you…if your heart is true to him and you are seriously praying..he will deliver you like he did daniel from the lions den…..and jonah fromt the belly of a whale. I can testify to that…I had a problem that seemed like it would face me the rest of my life….I could run from it….however I prayed and prayed and sought it out…….God has delivered me from it after years of continual deliberation..it wasn’t the way I planned or even the way I really wanted it to……but none the less he made a way. He said he would make a way for our escape……..and that he wouldn’t place anything on us to hard to bare. Love him………pray for your husband to find that first love again with you……..and whatever you do…..treat him with kindness and try (I know this is hard for a woman) no matter what to not argue with him…let him feel you are on his side and you will forever be his. Men love the security of knowing that there wife will be there for them through thick and thin. Keep your head up friend…remember God said he would never leave us….he sometimes carries us…….just like the poem…footprints in the sand. That said there were two sets of footprints in the sand………and when things got rough there was only one set…and man questioned "God I thought you said you would never leave me"….God answererd…."When there was only one set It was mine….I picked you up and carried you through"………touching and true still today!
My spouse drinks too much & doesn’t believe in God.
Please write me your testimony of deliverence from Alcohol addiction.
the god-experience can cure anybody with or without religion
My husband has an eating disorder. He over eats. He doesn’t make himself barf or anything like that. He complains that he is 315+ pounds but sits in front of the computer all day and eats and games. I have talked to him about this and other matters. I know he’s depressed. I know he has issues. I have tried to talk to him, I have to hide some goodies from him, although I mostly buy healthy foods, i do on occassion buy goodies.
How can I deal with this? It’s not like he’s an alcoholic and he can stop and keep living. We all need food to live… but he can’t control himself.
He doesn’t eat a lot in front of others and tells people he doesn’t eat a lot, but when we all go to bed and he’s gaming until 3am, he’ll eat a whole package of cookies or twinkies or something, if he finds it all. Even a whole package of crackers if he can’t find the sweets.
I don’t know what to do for him anymore. It’s not like he’s a kid and I can control his portions etc, he’s in his 30s!!!!
Unfortunately, there’s not much you can do until he decides he has a problem and wants to change.
the column was sent in by an anonymous writer who wrote about an alcoholic spouse. the columnidy signed as "I’m Alcohol" The article went into detail regarding the destruction and devistation they caused done during this period in there life. The article was definitely an memorable piece that i could not take my eyes off off until i had finish reading and still memorable to me to this day.
Well good luck. It has been 20 or 30 years since you read that article and it may help if you remember whose advice column you read it on. Back then Dear Abby and Ann Landers were the 2 most popular. Sadly Ann is gone and do not know if anyone keeps up with her archives. The only hope you have is to remember whose column it appeared on and write the person if she is still around. Annie’s Mailbox is very popular today and they sometimes remember advice given by Ann Landers so you might ask them.
