Jonah, </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> "GOD renew the spring of our love." </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I really like this! I'm glad you have had some positive things happening. Someone else out here, "Takola" prayed "Lord, let me learn quickly what I am suppose to in this situation". I think this is good because it takes the focus off our spouse and on to us. I will be praying that "God will renew the spring of your love" I wish you both a peaceful weekend! LW

jonah, </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">through some unexpected problems I was priviledged to spend sometime with my wife.</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Just goes to show not all problems are bad. </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Seems easier I was trying so hard but now things are coming naturally, meaning the things I do for you and to help her</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">That just means that they are becoming habits (good habits). If these habits continue sh ewill start to see consistancy. That will begin to convince her that you are becoming safe for her. [QUOTE}she still is resistant at times to show appreciate though.[/QUOTE] Sounds par for the course. But the increased conversation is progress. </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I am still holding on for a breakthrough that both of us will know is from GOD.</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">You will see some breakthroughs.

God gave me a gem in the form of unbelievable peace that lasted for three days (back in March). I had no anxiety, wasn't freaking out about my W going to work with OM. Just peace. I thought He was telling me that no matter how things turned out, He could heal me of any pain or hurt I went through. And noth'n says that praying in the spirit can't be in English. I have a post I will send as soon as I get time. Hopefully it will be of great encouragement to you. Bless you. S&C

I'm trying to hold it together, first I was upset, then a calm was there, I know it was the Lord. I still and believing for restoration and for a god-filled marriage with my wife ellen. Just following his guidance....if you will continue to pray.

Lw, thanks for the concern,I'm just trying to hold on. Each day as you know is a struggle, with some good and some bad. I've been asking God to bring his presence into our marriage and reveal his power and love, and am slowly seeing signs, just ask you to continue to pray and stand in faith with me for our marriage to be restored.

Sorry fellas I haven't been in in awhile, just really trying to press in and then it got busy at work. How are u LW and Steadfast? My situation has not changed, as I stated earlier my wife filed and I am trying to hold up and let GOD do in me what needs to be done to make our marriage work... Wife is semi distant not as much as before but not where I'd like her to be. Please pray.

Well howdy stranger, Been wondering where ya been keeping yourself. Good to hear your W isn't as distant. Things don't ever seem to move as fast as we'd like them to. But then again we look back and see how long the rollercoaster ride has gone on and we are amazed. I celebrated my 1 year d-day Nov. 17th (celebrated the fact that we were still married). I also celebrated my 19th Anniversary on the 26th. We went out to a nice restaurant and strolled around the hotel grounds (watched some dolphin watching us). We had a nice time. But I still have my bad days. Of course never stop praying for you and the rest here. Will talk to ya later. S&C <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="images/icons/cool.gif" />

Hello Everyone,
I have read through this post and want you all to know I will be praying for all of you. I have been praying for my marriage to be restored for over two years. There are a few other sites on the web that have been encouraging for me. Send me an email if you want the addy. Please continue to believe God will restore your marriage. God can do anything, nothing is too hard for Him. He has done this for others and He will do it for us. I believe we must be close to our precious God and come to a point in our life where we want God more than we want our marriage. Then I feel my marriage will be restored. I am growing closer to Him daily.
**edit**
