I
Hi Sole, I have been reading about your situation and most of what others have written, and I agree with them. I was in a verbally abusive marriage for 12 years, and I didn't understand what it meant to accept Jesus as my husband. I was miserable. And I think the only reason my marriage didn't become physically abusive is because he was afraid of what my son (who was 30 years old at the time) would do to him if he starting hitting me (he wasn't my son's father). I grew up going to church every Sunday, but it was a dead church so I never really got the message of how Jesus was the only answer, and He really is the ONLY answer. I didn't get saved until 2007, but even though I was lost, I still felt Jesus tugging at my heart. I knew He was with me throughout this whole ordeal. He gave me strength to persevere, and not slip into sin by looking for someone else. He gave me enough wisdom to know that was not the answer.
It is true that men don't really like to talk about their deep emotional feelings. Men will usually clam up and get quite or somber, which leaves us feeling even more alone. But the truth is, they feel alone too, they just don't know how to express themselves verbally on such deep emotional level. What we say in 50 words, they use 10, which is one reason men and women often don't understand each other.
If you pray from your spirit God will hear you, if you are faithful to Him, He will be faithful to you. Don't give up, be bold in Christ Jesus. And even though it will be a long climb up that hill, He will carry you, even when it may not feel like it. 2 Corinthians 5:7 "For we walk by faith, not by sight".
My husband and I did not divorce, he died in 2004 with 2 different types of leukemia. I now live alone and see my children and grandchildren almost everyday. When I don't see them, they call me and we have a nice long talk. I go to Church and am getting involved in a program through the Church to mentor younger women who are going through similar situations as mine. Jesus is my helper, my savior, and my husband, praise be to God. So hang in there and know that many of us have been there and we are praying for both you and your husband.
2 Corinthians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort
2 Corinthians 1:5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ.
Psalm 119:76 Let, I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to Your word to your servant.
