My WH has left my dd and I, has changed jobs and is living 700 miles away. I have been posting about this situation, and saying some unkind and disrespectful things about my wH. You can imagine why. But now, I have really begun looking at myself and what I need to do if I want my marriage to work out, and I do.
I wish I could take back the things I said about him. He has no idea about any of it, but GOD knows what's in my heart and how I have been acting. I van look back now and see that I was a woman who "tore down her house with her own hands." Not intentionally, and not all at once. But I do see I was not the perfect wife. That doesn't mean that whay my wH is doing is right, but I am not totally blameless for my situation. God is refining me.

TKD-
I know what you mean, I also tore down my house with my own hands, I didn't think I was but I wasn't approaching my marriage the way God would have it. I wasn't subserviant (sp?) to my husband, I didn't let him be head of the household, I honestly didn't know that's what I should do. I am trying so hard to live in a Godly way, and to show my husband (who has not been saved) that I have changed and maybe through my changes, and Godly living he can also be saved. The road he is on now is going to lead to the demise of his soul. I'm dealing with my husband's eternity here, and I have to find a way to save him......which of course would benefit me as well, as I would have him back as my husband.
I pray for this every night, that God will make me the vehicle through which my husband will be saved.
I hope things go well for you also hon....God Bless.

Thank you. I know exactly what you mean...My husband was saved, but he is not acting like it at this time. I understand what you mean about being the vehicle for his salvation. I love him so much and care so deeply for him, I want him to realize where this road is leading him. I also see what I need to change within me. It's not a pretty site when I really look in my own heart. Take care, TKD1
