HowMy husband of 23 yrs has decided that he wants to re-evaluate his life. Specifically, he wants to try to figure out whether he wants to be married to me anymore. He denies there is another woman. He just wants to do his own thing without having to be bothered with being acountable to me. He also states he doesn't want to have to rely on me for anything. I'm very hurt. He's asked for a week (aftergiving me the silent treatment for 2 weeks) to decide. I'm so hurt I just want to leave. I don't want to give him a week as I really dont see him making our marriage, or me a priority. How do I wait graciously?
Hi Keryaa
I'm sorry that you are going through this and so sorry for the hurt that you are feeling.
Don't make any hasty decisions because your emotions are affected.
Because you can't change him, the best is to pray and leave it in God's hands.
Your life and your husband's lives are in His hands.
Seek refuge in the Lord
I pray that God will comfort you and give you peace during this time.
I also pray that God will speak to your husband's heart and that He will
intervene in this situation to make your marriage work according to His word.
I also pray that the Lord will give you words of wisdom that when you have to speak to your husband,
words of wisdom and love will flow and He will feel the presence and the power of the almighty God and
be convicted of any wrong doing/decisions that he may want to take.
These words are from a song "Put on a garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness"
Open the book of Psalms and look for psalms that have praises to the Lord in it and
read it out loud & praise the Lord!!
God bless you Keryaa
