Christians marrying the wrong people give marriage a bad name. Churches should do much more counseling to stop this.

Funny how satan is more regular than many who call themselves Christian.

As much as I would like to be married, I've seen times where it has ruined people's lives. I took 2 years of sign language and taught a Sunday School class for deaf children. We had services interpreted for the deaf. We had a new interpreter come in one Sunday. Her sign language was awesome. The way her hands and fingers flowed was like poetry. The other interpreters' was amazed at her signing. The deaf complimented her after services on her signs. She had a GOD given talent. One Sunday I walked over to her husband and mentioned how well his wife signed. He just glared at me and walked out. I asked others what happened? They said her husband was very jealous of her being in front of the church and getting the attention. Shortly after that she stopped. A couple of weeks later I saw her as a bible study and asked her what happened. She looked real nervous. looked around and said she couldn't talk about it and walked off. GOD had given this woman an incredible gift and her husband just crushed it out of jealousy.
I had a friend who was helping me with the Sunday School class and she was learning sign language. She loved working with the kids, went on day trips with us. She really loved the class. She got married, but said she would be coming back to the class. She never came back to the class. I asked her what happened. Her husband would not allow her to return. He was also cutting her off from her friends and family. They finally divorced after about 10 years. But, she missed out on so many blessing with with the deaf children, all because of her husband wanting complete control of her.
Just because someone says they are a Christian, and they might be, but attitudes and personalities make a difference.

Not sure what to say. Well anything said is just gossip (casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people, typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true.) None of these people are here and its not uplifting encouraging. How would they feel knowing someone was talking about them like this? I wouldn't like it. I give you this. Something the really hurts me. The back story is huge but I always took my babies to school had to be mom and dad anyway. One day I remember picking him up walking back some woman said something.. she said "that man was scary". She told other people that. So so so far from the truth. It was one moment in time that what she saw was not what I was trying to do or mean if that makes sense.

Through it all see the good.

I'm telling others experiences I had with people in bad marriages. This should be a warning to others to be careful on who you marry.

Romans 8:1 KJV
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus,

who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Romans 6:6 KJV
Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

No more jealousy etc.

Taking your wife out of a group is just normal. Jealousy is healthy marriage if in the right spirit. There are thieves and adulterers. Maybe there were more details. I know people at church that flirted with my wife and said if we were done give them a call and they work in ministry. I didn't let her go to that group without me.
