God takes his time for maximum benefit for us and for all involved. Think about it, he promised a land to Abraham's heir and delivered on that promise 430 years later, when Abraham's heirs were close to 3 million strong. But they were strong when they needed to be. (And he was fair to the people who lived in that land and needed to be eliminated when the Israelites came in. He told Abraham that he'd wait for 400 years because "their sins were not yet complete." He gave them 400 years to turn to him, but they never did, choosing to continue in their sins, until there was no one left of value.)
Saturday will be six weeks after hubby's massive heart attack. Growing up way back when I did, I remember the time line for heart attacks was, "no sex for six weeks after a heart attack." I have a wicked sense of humor. Hubby is still in the ICU and has a catheter, so next time I see a doctor, I want to ask, "Is it okay if we have sex on Saturday? It's six weeks later?" lol
(Ha! Got you to chuckle, didn't I?)
You and I are in this for the long haul. Better to adjust to this is the man you have now. He is different than what he was before. For me? We've been married for 35 years and he is my best friend, so however he changes, I will adapt.
For you? You said your relationship has always been a struggle. Is it worth it? (And that's not saying you have to say Yes. Like I said before, there wasn't enough commitment to marry yet, so there really is a question of if it is worth it to you to commit now.) Assume he never gets over he had a stroke, because he probably never will get over that one. Is he worth it to stay? You have an option.
I have the same option, but, again, I fell for hubby on our first date and would change nothing, (other than wish he had a stress test before this hit. And, I'm getting one in 2016, to make sure there are no such surprises in me too.) I know where I stand. I'm not you, and you don't have to make the same stand. But this is a good time to decide firmly where you stand and act on that... another reason God gives us a lot of time sometimes.

[SUP]30 [/SUP]Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
[SUP]31 [/SUP]but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

new years eve We both cried out, and rod was really emotional. we was scared. The stroke has changed how we are together. But we both ask god to help us cope with the symptoms etc, and Rod wants nothing more but to marry me this year and get that bungalow we are down for with the housing. I'm fearful abut the future, but hopefully things will turn out. yes I am really shouting out to God. Amen
Happy Face,
Blessings to you, with peace! You are doing the exact right thing, to call out to God Most High, who is Healer, Provider, Comfort! I pray that this year as He works in answer to your prayers, that you will see Him in His glorious Presence and power as never before. Our extremities are the very place He meets us!
23 Now it came about in the course of those many days that the king of Egypt died. And the sons of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry for help because of their bondage rose up to God. 24 So God heard their groaning; and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 25 God saw the sons of Israel, and God [x]took notice of them. Exodus 2
May the Lord God, the mighty Deliverer, reveal His power and presence and strength and provision to you in this time, with His Guidance and Gracious Loving hand.
