I really don't know what to think of this.
As many of you know we've been in divorce discussions for over a year. She came to me an hour ago and said "Well, things are getting down to the wire ... and ... honestly... I dont want this ..."
And so I told her I will always love her and I meant all of my vows and that ultimately I just want her to be happy and I dont want her just deciding to be with me and then changing her mind again in a few weeks.
She says that she was thinking that way because of just how hard everything has been on us over the last few years. And as I told her, through sickness and in health, through rich and poor.
She then told me , laughingly, "will you take me back?"
She then proceeded to tell me she wants me to move in with them when they move in the coming weeks. I was like "yeah but we've been sleeping in separate rooms for more than six months now?" and she said "well? we'd have to change that, obviously."
I quite honestly don't know how to take all of this. God got me into this kind of acceptance phase, if you will, and now she hits me with this. So now I'm mentally like, yeah, of course, I love her .... but why did God have me go down that road in the first place?
NO clue what I'm supposed to be doing or if she's going to just change her mind in the coming weeks. But I promised to keep you all updated.
And quite honestly, I really think this is because so many of you have been praying for me. I really do. God is making moves behind the scenes and I'm floored. Today has really honestly felt like I'm in a dream.
EDIT: WE ARE NO LONGER IN SEPARATE ROOMS. She's sleeping in the room with me tonight.
Ya'll... I dont even know what to say. Glory, glory, glory. Hallelujah, this is a true testimony of God's power.
"...but why did God have me go down that road in the first place?"
Perhaps this road wasn't yours alone to travel, it was your wife's, too.
With God in your life, anything is possible. Take it one day at a time. May God bless both of you.
reminds me of the revelation verse that says "and his name was faithful and true."
He is faithful and true, 100%. I have prayed about this for a year and a half now and have consistently screamed for the devil to flee this home and that I would never give in.
God saw me through all of this. He put me through the trial. This is now going to become my testimony. I am so beyond amazed. I really don't have words for it. It's the glory of God.
I think the literal time of your wife spending time with God is what allowed him to open her eyes. I recognize that same moment in my life. When you are deceived, things seem ok that you never should do.
I’ve known two relatives to have issues like this where the wife or the husband just has to move out for a time. Prayer seemed to work and it came out better than before the separation for the one couple. The other situation where I was not close to them, I don’t truly know but it doesn’t seem better. Unfortunately I feel like they need to deal with unforgiveness first.
Forgive, forgive, forgive, forgive, forgive, forgive, forgive. Then the past will not keep you there and your joy will overflow in the present. You will not be weighed down by hurts that are likely to happen.
