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.
Having two parents at home is awesome and ideal. However, children feel everything, and there's no fooling them. Two people in opposition and living together are going to act out...and that's poor modeling.
I ended my marriage ten years ago because I didn't want to teach my daughter that it's okay to stay in an unhappy situation. My ex is far happier now, vaxxed and remarried and living far away. He never was very involved as a Dad, sadly, and getting out of it was best for all of us.
I don't think that divorce is an evil thing.
The original poster is describing a scenario where Covid/politics are the wedge in his relationship. Like if his marriage fails, it will be the result of actions taken by (what I think are evil forces). These evil forces want us divided. When I said my statement I was referring to this.
That being said, I 100% advocate for divorce when no children are involved. Why try and make it work when no parties involved are happy? Find the right person BEFORE children. I believe the real, real commitment made is when you have a child with someone. When children ARE involved, I think parents have a duty to try their best to make it. I recognize there are exceptions. My sister was in a highly abusive and scary situation. She f'd up and made a poor choice of husband. People make bad choices, and also people can change, like literally become alcoholics, abusers, or mentally unstable.
It’s not evil when you realize God is in control. Separating the wheat…
