My wife and I are currently separated and she has told the counselor that she has no desire to reconcile with me. She has said that she will not date me right now. My compromise to her that I will propose on Monday morning (4/24) at 8:00 is if we can "hang out" together and maybe talk on the phone regularly. We have done this the past week or so while we sold our house and she even said we got along so much better. I pray that God will allow me to start building the relationship again and that he will allow my wife to start softening her heart.

Matrix, with all due love and respect, brother, you don't give us much to go on.

You start threads, then virtually NEVER respond. NO useful dialog ever ensues. NO discussion of what is going or any way for anyone to try to understand what has been going on in your marriage, or in your wife's life, with which to base any advice upon.

You have NEVER responded to anything I have posted, and for a fellow believer, I'm curious as to WHY you "drive by" post and never respond?

Prayer is easy. "Dropping it" in "God's lap" is an easy out from doing something sometimes.

You are her HUSBAND and God has given you the role of husband. When, exactly, do you intend to step up and begin doing what God has tasked you with?

Now, if that seems harsh and a tad "Judgmental," please remember that ALL I have to go in formulating anything to say to you is the meager things you have posted in over a month. You post, leave, post on different FORUMS, not just different thread within a forum, and somehow seem to expect us to "Read you mind." I am left wondering if your wife sees you the same way.

If you want help, try spilling your guts about what has been going on and perhaps we will begin to understand enough to formulate some useful advice.

TALK with us, Matrix.

God bless and grant you wisdom and peace.
