Bible Note: Your post arrests my attention and I am frankly glad that you vented your thoughts because I have a strong hunch you needed to do so; and I assure you that your words have fallen upon sympathetic ears as far as I'm concerned. Yet I think it unwise of me to deviate from the general theme of this forum, which is Bible study, by presuming to act as a marriage counselor, a role from which I exempt myself for lack of proper credentials. To suggest a course of action to you beyond a most general one would be to render you a distinct disservice. From my long years of experience in my own marriage, I have formed the firm belief that a good marriage is based on a number of things, not the least of which is a commonality of trust -- trust in God and in one another. Trust in one another is vital and takes time to build. A breach of trust is a most serious matter and takes longer still to rebuild and requires an enormous quantity of patience and self-control. Walk circumspectly in your personal life, seek God's counsel in frequent prayer, and avail yourself of whatever help is at hand from Christian counselors, your pastor, and your trusted Christian friends. Beyond that, rest in faith that all things will work together for good in your life. [See Romans 8:28]. You have my best wishes for a happy solution to your situation and most of all, you have my prayers. --Hank |
