Yesterday we prayed together that my H wouldn't be sucked into more drinking with his co-worker, and for him to have thoughts of me and home. OUR PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED AGAIN! Praise the Lord, he is so awesome, ALL the Glory to our Savior!<P>I prayed little prayers for my H and talked to God all day about our situation and the others situations with our husbands. My husband called in the late afternoon, in a good mood, saying he was on his way home. He told me later that his co-worker that drinks a lot stayed at the jobsite and my H just wanted to come home! He was home by 5:30!! We spent a nice evening together talking about his day, etc. I know this change in his attitude is due to our prayers, and I thank each of you from the bottom of my heart for praying with me!<P>Praise God, he is sooo good to us. We need to keep praying like we have for each other, God is working in our husbands' lives!!

He is the awesomest!!!!!!<P>I need your equal fervrant prayer today for our house. My husband is sitting around crying when he isn't yelling and swearing at me, insisting I don't love him. Love to him means I will do whatever he tells me, no matter what it is, my job is to make him happy and never hurt.

Rootbeer,<P>Isn't it wonderful to see God at work in such awesome power! I stand in awe at the depth of the maturity of the women on this forum. They remain positive no matter how things look from the natural perspective. God is at work and it is so thrilling to see his hand in our lives. I praise Him through your testimony. Who can stand against the God of creation?<P>SueB,<P>Love is patient....<BR>Love is kind......<BR>Love does not seek its own...<BR>Love does not act unbecoming....<BR>Love is not arrogant..<BR>Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things...<BR>Love never fails.....<P>God is love! You are showing God's love through your soft answers!<P>You are God's love in your home! Keep it up.<P>Blessings, Taj<P>------------------<BR>"Perfect love casts out fear" I John 4:18

Aw,<BR>I'm so happy for you. Praise the lord. God is awesome.

SueB, I wasn't on-line yesterday but I felt a pressing need to pray for you and your husband, as well as Taj and her husband. As I worked in my yard I said little silent prayers all day for you all. I'm learning to listen to God speaking to me. Thank you Lord for helping me understand when it is You speaking to me. Please keep telling me when it is time to pray for others. IJN, AMEN

Thank you for the prayers MTAW, I really do appreciate them a lot. I cannot imagine what life would be like if people were not praying. The couple bible study was being hosted at our house last night, and about an hour before it was to begin, my husband announced that he was taking off and it was none of my business where he was going. I asked him how long he was going to be gone in light of the bible study and that I was cooking his dinner. (Spirit reminding me soft voice the whole time) He turned around and stomped back upstairs yelling the whole way. Gave him his dinner and welcomed the guests as they arrived. He did join the group. This session was on conflict resolution. It was such an uncomfortable night, not being able to share that we are struggling and what specificaly we are struggling with. I put the gist of the conflict rules on another post. While I agree that we need to avoid the trashing of our spouses with others, what I appreciate is being able to share here and know that in the spirit of love we listen to one another, exhort, encourage and pray for one another. It makes me sad that so much emphasis is spent on this pagan holiday when every day should be a day of love and affirmation for the ones we love. Thanks again for praying.

I agree with you all that it is so wonderful to be able to come here and share our issues/praises with each other, knowing that each of us has an understanding of each participant's feelings. I, too, genuinely appreciate the positive outlook that each woman has, the tremendous faith in God that is so evident, and the encouragement we receive from each other. I don't know what I'd do without each of you!!! I feel like you are all my sisters, and I guess you are, because we are all sisters in Christ. <P>SueB, I'm glad your H didn't walk out on your meeting, and he did join the group later. Your handling of each situation shows so much grace and humility on your part, I admire you so much for how you handle this situation. I know it hurts your heart so much for him to be behaving the way he is. I pray that the Lord continues to give you peace and joy in your heart, that will make up for the hurt your H causes by his angry outbursts.

Wow! I know how hard it is at times to keep that soft tone or totally keep quiet when we need to and it sounds like you did a great job. My h gave me a beautiful card yesterday with a note saying "Our love is forever, thanks for being all three - my wife, my friend, and my love. Your the Best!" That was more precious to me than any material gift. He also got me a card for the boys to give me and even one from the dog :-) It was really sweet! Hugs to all, J
