Subject: desperate for help |
Bible Note: For what it's worth, I have to agree with EdB. Your husband needs serious help, especially if he's deceiving himself by thinking he's acting in a Christ-like manner. But I would emphasize that you need protection from such a brute. IF you're able to get both of you to a counselor, preferbly a christian, then you may be able to save your marriage. Your biggest trajedy is that you won't be able to re-marry if you find that you must leave your husband. But hopefully, if you still love him you can lead him by example to a closer adherance to the high standard Christ sets for all of us to follow. You probably know you're going to get a wide variety of responses on this Forum so like EdB says, go get some professional, christiain counseling, face to face from someone you can trust as being in the Lord. God bless you in this struggle. --Rowdy |
