God bless all of you who will be reading my post. Let me tell you a little of my story. I have been with husband about 4 years now. I know it was really good at the beginning. I didn't handle things well though and I was controlling and possessive. We moved in together about six months after we started seeing each other. (this was before I was saved.) Well we bought our house a year into our relationship and a couple of months after that he told me he was feeling suffocated and needed his space. He moved out of the house and started doing the single thing, partying and seeing other women. About a month after he was gone he came back and told me he missed me. I was really good about it and let him come back. No questions asked. Then I started finding God and knew that I had to get married to the man He had given me. We got married in July and I was born again in Oct. God has really changed me. I used to be a possessive controling wife. He has and is still molding me to be the proverbial wife he wants me to be. I know that I have been a great wife serving God and my husband. I am even amazed at just how much I have changed. Well, I have been praying for my husband. He hardly goes out, but when he does I pray that God gives him his convictions. Well, on Tuesday he came home and seemed to be in a bad mood like the ususal lately. I asked him what was happening and he told me that he was feeling suffocated and needed his space. He doesn't know if he wants to stay or if he wants to work at it. He tells me he needs time. He told me that when he goes out with his friends he does not feel comfortable because he thinks of me and starts to feel the pressure of having to do the right thing. I didn't tell him that it was our Father that is showing him conviction and telling him that what he is doing is not right. I left it at that. I told him I would give him his space and I would give him time to think about what he wanted to do. For now I am sleeping in the spare bedroom and he has hardly talked to me. We have only talked the bare necessitites. Could you please help me pray that God teaches him how to deal with conviction and to remove the stronghold of pressure the devil is trying to place on him and in his mind. I am standing strong in Faith and know that God wants to prosper us and give us a great marriage. I want to keep us from seperating. Father I ask you to give me the ability to bare all things and still show my husband the Christ like love you have shown me. I ask Father that you soften his heart and let him see You through me so that he will come to serve you. I pray this in Jesus name AMEN!

Angels,
I only have a minute, but I want you to think about something.
Ask yourself- ''What is it like being married to me?"
(Example- when was the last time you made things fun?)
