My marriage is falling apart

[El Gavilan]

Ron, I'm not one to be giving marriage advice as I've been divorced and remarried. I'm also not a religious guy at all, but since we've bought and sold a few things to each other and I feel like I've gotten to know you a bit, I just thought I'd wish you the best with your marriage and hope things work out for the best for you and your wife. Good things happen to good people, so stay the course Ron. Take Care.

Mike

All, I can't image the OP's situation or the experience of those that have posted before me, but I want to say thank you for the council and friendship this site provides. We rally around our passions all the time, but truly we rally with support. God bless and best wishes for all.

Writing this to give you guys a quick testimony to the power and glory of God. Things between me and my wife have significantly improved. There are some days when I'm just in utter awe at what God is doing in my and my wife's heart. I've shared this with a few guys who I've PM'd through all of this. With a little prodding from livetohunt and Jesus, I think it's time to illustrate just how powerful God's love and grace really can be.

Two months ago I thought I was on the brink of divorce and was crushed spiritually and didn't know how I'd ever make it through all of this, but with the power of prayer, a heaping load of patience from me and my wife, and recommitting myself to be the spiritual leader of our home things are just immensely better. I realize that God still has a lot of work to do on my wife and my heart to help us heal from the past. But we're moving in the right direction, and for once in a very long time I can say that I'm truly happy with the man that I'm becoming and it's having a positive effect on not just my wife, but my whole family.

I'm hoping that as convoluted as all this sounds, you guys get what I'm saying. And for those of you who were in my shoes or are facing similarly trying times. Just lay your worries before God, pray for his counsel and trust in Him. Be brave and courageous and walk the path that so few are walking. Is it tough sometimes? Yes. Will you stumble and falter? Absolutely. But God's grace and love are sufficient enough to sustain you even when you don't think you can go any further.This website is full of Godly men who will pray over you and your troubles, reach out to them and reach, iron sharpens iron after all.

I want to give a sincere and heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported me through all of this, if I ever meet any of you, the first round is on me!

That is so wonderful to hear, making me a little emotional for your new found clarity, guidance, and happiness. May God continue to bless your family.

Great news brother! Glad to see things looking up for you, your wife and your relationship with God.

 

[ethan]

Glad to hear that, God is great!

 

[2ski]

God is great. This was uplifting news.

 

[Josh Wright]

Great news. You are on your way.

 

[William Hanson (live2hunt)]

I'm certainly glad at your outcome and glad you shared your testimony publicly. I always had faith you two would find your way. Keep the faith and focus on what you now know to be important.

Powerful words. It sounds like your marriage is beginning to have solid footing. Now you just need to walk it out. Thanks for sharing.

 

[Retterath]

That is awesome,glad to see things are coming around. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28

Second chances are hard to come by... Priorities!

Glad to hear things are going well. You faith and family are treasures and need to be treated as such. I once attended a Marriage Enrichment sort of seminar put on by the Dept Chaplain. My wife and I still crack each other up, 17 years later, when we look at each other, get the other's attention, and deliver and open mouthed, audible gasp, as we behold a thing of great value great value in our lives. It is kinda corny, but is an excellent reminder.

Ron, great news. Keep at it brother and remember as things get better, don't forget who needs to be the center piece of your marriage - not just when things are bad and you will be just fine. Great testimony. Thank you for sharing.

 

[Brandon Pattison]

Glad to hear!!

 

[GLB]

Happy for you and praising God for his blessings and glory.

 

[woods89]

So good to hear! No matter what struggles you face from here on out just remember that God WILL help you keep your family secure and intact. This brightens my morning!

 

[AZ Vince]

I feel like getting a lawyer involved is just a sure fire way to make her leave me for good.

Yes!
I read your latest post and cannot express enough how happy I am that things are working out for you. God is great!
I'm glad you had the common sense to not involve a lawyer. It reinforces your desire to save your marriage.
Hang in there brother and listen to God. He will never steer you wrong and will always love you and be with you if you open your heart to him.

 

[Jason Snyder]

So glad to read this! Keep the faith bro.

 

[kodiakfly]

I was just thinking about this the other day, wondering how you were doing. I'm so glad to hear it. Good for you for putting in the effort, and good for your wife for being accepting. Now keep it up. I know that you know the process is still ongoing, so don't let up! Make the most of this second chance and 30 years from now, you'll look back and see that it made you both stronger.

Very happy to hear this man. Keep up the good work and I'll keep praying here. Like I said a few months ago, I do pray for "that dude on rokslide going through the marriage issues."

God bless you and your family. I'm happy to hear you put your trust in the Lord and this speaks to the power of prayer. I pray to God to help me be a better man, husband and father. He leads us through our journey in life. Keep up the great work!! This is uplifting to hear your story of clarity. One more reason I'm proud to be a part of the Rockslide community.
