My wife and I made the agreement to turn off all news, social media, and any outside consumption of COVID info for 2 weeks and possibly indefinitely. In some way, it is sad that because of this, I won't be lurking GAW--I'm not much of a poster but felt included via the lurking and upvoting over the past 9 months. I'm confident that this is the right decision.
I would appreciate your prayers for me and my marriage. My wife literally thinks I am insane, deluded to follow after Satan and the thought of divorce is crossing her mind. She has admitted to thinking of me in contempt and that our marriage is dead. I believe God lifted the veil over my eyes briefly and I saw a glimpse of His work and plan. I am convinced with every bone in my body that COVID and these mandates have the spirit of antichrist/satan behind them. My wife is pro-mandates, pro-vax, trusts gov't, pro-mask our 5 year old. I guess you can see we're at opposite ends.
Please pray for me and my marriage. Pray for me to truly have discernment and wisdom from God. I truly want to know if COVID and these mandates DO NOT have the spirit of antichrist/satan behind them. I want to know where I am wrong in any of my beliefs that are causing contention. Please also pray that if there are any evil spiritual forces acting upon me, my wife, my son and my marriage--that they be totally subdued in Jesus' name. I really want God to show me a sign that what I have awakened to is true and I really want my wife to be with me.
We're doing all we can.. counselling, pastors, marriage course, agreements in communication. I want this movie to end, but I also know.. letting it play out will be even GREATER!
I'll probably read comments to this post one last time tonight and afterwards lurk https://communities.win/c/Christianity/
Bye frens for now. See you later or in glory! Hope it's not long. From Canada.
That is the most heart wrenching post I have ever read. In fact, I am crying right now for the predicament you and your family are in. I pray the Lord takes over and moves within your home and the heart of your wife. I pray that you hold your ground with the Lord and Please, Please, Please do not give up on him. He has a GREAT plan for you and your family and you will soon find out what it is. Right now his plan is most likely for you to have your wife's understanding of his love for her and the spiritual growth of your family. I will be praying for you as this is a very critical point in your life as well as others whom I assume may be in the same sort of predicament you are now. Have no worries or fears, the Lord is with you and so is your family on GAW and communities, etc. God bless you and keep in mind; **WE ARE ALL PRAYING FOR YOU. **
I’m in similar boat, wife just excoriated me this morning regarding Qanon and GA.win and said that I am crazy because I tell her I am reading ‘the news’. While she can at least through the mask and vaccine crap, of which I am thankful, she still believes I’m in some kind of cult.
What she doesn’t understand is that ‘we are the news’ my friends. Good luck and God Bless - you are not alone in this. It has created many more divisions than were already present and the pressure keeps mounting. Follow what you know to be the truth!
Literally fucking me, man. My marriage is going down a spiral. Are you me in a different location lol
Hey down voter....God knows who you are.
You can love em but it doesn't mean you let the. In your life or allow the. To stay.
Sheep from goats
You're absolutely right. I'll be the first one to say it - I was weak minded at the time. I'm still in my 20's and the brainwashing of our world has fucked with humanity and the social structure which manifested upon me. This process has been difficult but in the end, just like the mass awakening, this will be a lesson to be learned. It had to be this way.
If you think it's just the womenfolk that are covidiots, then you need to pull you head out of a certain orifice. I know my fair share of men that have drank the kool-aid, too. They'd rather be right than alive. You can't convince them of anything -- even when it's happening right before their eyes. Believe me, I've tried...a 2x4 right between the eyes...and nothing works.
The truth is, people change. The man or woman they married may not be the same person 10 years later. Having children significantly changes women and their outlook on the world and society.
What I find most sad is that these women won't see what their husbands see and try to look at things from their perspective. They married this person which means at one point they loved that person enough to devote their life to them. But as soon as there is some trouble ahead they jump ship and abandon their vows the other person.
This isn't all women obviously. And not all men are worthy either. These are just my observations.
Don't break the oath!
Disagreements among a married couple are NOT the issue.
The issue is whether both partners are mature in handling the disagreements and differences, or at least show a willingness to grow in maturity. If one of the partners can only have emotion based visceral reactions to a disagreement, a counterargument, etc, then that should have already been a red flag earlier on, not their specific views and opinions that are different from your own.
But working with each other through disagreements is the key. The fact is we all have the temptation to beat our spouse into submission on certain issues big or small, whether overtly or through manipulation, passive aggressive behavior, ultimately sliding into neglect from being resentful, etc. If we can own up to our own shortfalls our spouses are more likely to do the same, sometimes even begin to listen when unpopular views are expressed.
I understand there are certain matters of potential life and death that can't wait for mature marital growth, but even still be the reasonable and level headed one, and show a willingness to acknowledge where your spouse is at in his/her thinking and perspecitve when different from your own (hypothetical example: I am consuming news and info to make right decisions and keep us ahead of a disastrous future for ourselves and our children. My spouse simply sees an Internet alt media junkie who's escaping real world problems at home in these fantasy notions of saving the world). Acknowledging goes a long way.
Dude fuck off with this attitude. If you don’t understand why some people fall for ones they don’t agree with then don’t comment at all.
Let me guess, you’ve made the right decision every time throughout your life. No? Then again, fuck off with this nonsense.
Either a glowie fuck trying to sow arguments here or just an asshole.
Be better.
My GF believes and still get tired of it. We named our cat Flynn for Gods sake. I think we all are just trying to help but can be overwhelming sometimes. I have to lay off sometimes to keep from “being to much”. Some people would rather ignore because the truth is hard to face.
We need to break away from this stiff for periods to clear our heads.
Your wife is still a child..obeying authority figures without question. How can you have an adult relationship with a child? You cannot. She wants your complete obedience and if you were to give her that she would have even more contempt for you than she does now.
Women are taught from childhood that “authorities” are always right and husbands are just dumb playthings that can’t cook a meal for the kids while she is gone on an important business trip without destroying the house.
The man has to be the authority in the marriage or it is doomed.
Both partners need to be rational adults who have chosen a partner they trust to make wise well-informed decisions and continue to believe that their partner is an intelligent adult capable of making good decisions throughout life ... OR they should not get married to begin with. Either partner may be tragically killed or disabled in a car accident or some such situation, and the surviving partner MUST be immediately ready to begin to make ALL decisions on behalf of the family at that point.
Neither partner should dominate the other with a greater weight of authority in all subjects. One partner may know more about car maintenance and the other more about budgeting or nutrition or business. Either partner of either gender should be free to respectfully and graciously express strong disagreement to a misguided opinion of the other without unraveling the entire fabric of the marriage- or there as a toxic insecurity in the partner who will not tolerate that difference of opinion.
Either partner having to tiptoe around to express disagreement is clear indication of a toxic marriage or an insecure and immature partner with anger management problems.
I was taught in God's eyes the man is held responsible in the marriage. He can defer to his wife but in the end he owns it from God.
Woman can argue and shit on that all they want but it's true and a real Man will act like it.
Critical in this is that the man looks to God for his strength and sustenance.
Well if a man is a real man either a woman like that won't want him or she will realize she was lied to. Shouldn't stop real.men from being real and leading. By the way a very great Man Once said "the greatest leader is the greatest servant". Serve your families.
Same God bless ❤️
