I was wondering, if it would be welcome to begin a thread..sort of an ongoing discussion/journal about dealing with an A as a Christian.

Christianity is by nature an exclusive faith..rather than an inclusive one. Anything doesn't go and I think it sets before a person a unique set of struggles that I personally have needed input/help in dealing with as well as setting before you an immeasurably deep resource from which to draw.

However, I don't like to butt in to any and all threads with this position. I don't like to start fires just for the sake of starting fires..but it would be nice if there WAS a thread that such dialouge was welcomed and encouraged on.

Not to say that other faiths etc would be unwelcome..just that the topic of the thread is dealing with As and MB principles as a Christian..so things from a Christian perspective are the point..not a distraction.

What say you MB..is this agreeable, or against policy in some way?

Good idea noodle!

I second the motion!

I am presently struggling with whether I should accept my WW back WHEN she comes around....as a Christian, I feel almost obligated to try recovery....even if I think I would be better off without her....

I love this idea.

Before the A - I struggle with my faith, and so did Sprint. During the affair, Sprint once gain shut out God, and I chose to ignore thin everytime I felt the urge to pray... Since D-Day - he and I have been praying all the time and have even had signs during the worse times that God was in our lives. Signs that came from prayer, signs that meant He was there helping us.

God is one of the biggest elements in our recovery, so dealing with A as a Christian is a fantastic thread in my eye <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

I'm all for this.

I was a WC (Wayward Christian) before Dday, in that I mean I was cheating on the Lord. I had gotten to the point of no longer even wanting to attend church.

Ww actually held her faith a bit longer than I had, she at least attended for a few weeks without me. the last time either of us attended was 2 weeks b4 her EA started.

I think that our faith is a major reason for the present situation we are in. I was for years ignoring my responsibilities as a christian man, and she was feeling tread upon trying to uphold hers as a Christian woman.

Don't get me wrong, regardless of whatever each of us was or wasn't doing, it was no excuse for her to go the A route.

I have since re-dedicated my life to the Lord, and He & I are in Recovery. Recovery for us is a lot easier than I know it will be for WW & I IF we ever get there. (Please Jesus hear my prayer)

Last Sunday, I made the decision to lay my M at the alter, If the Lord wants me to have it, He is going to have to fix it and give it back to me. I am here as a tool for him to use as he sees fit, but I need clear direction from Him (cause I screw it up if I do it on my own)
