You know what, I read these post people come here and make, about their crumbling marriage. I never post on them. This is the worst place to come for marital problems. I have no advice to give, but I can't sit idle while someone makes a comment about dad shopping. That's a stupid statement, and stupid statements come from stupid people.
No one on this forum has good marriage advice, I'd venture to say, most people are here cause things at home aren't well.
I admit it. The only reason I joined this site is cause my marriage fell apart. I have yet to spot any testimony on how a bunch of random strangers on the internet saved their marriage.
Sure God could save a marriage, but does he? We tell people to pray, but God changes no one's mind. You could pray a dead man back to life, long before God will take control of your spouses mind. It ain't going to happen. Free will and all.
So what are we praying for? A change in our own mind?
There was probably a month, when my wife first left, I probably could have gone to her, got on my knees, done something. Washed her feet or something. Humbled myself or something..... but everyone suggested I lay low, and pray. Bad advice in hindsight. It wasn't advice I got from here, but from Christians, none the less.
People really shouldn't come to anonymous internet forums for marriage advice.
