<BR>I went to church today, and was blessed and uplifted by the message, and went to the alter for prayer for my marriage and asked for strenght and patience. I was feeling uplifted and feeling Gods love from all of the church members. Whem I got home the devil was working overtime to steal my joy. My h asked me to move in with my parents. He says he needs space. I don't want to go,but he does not want me here. I feel that if I go the distance will further weaken are marriage. I need some advise do you think a separation will work. I have been praying to God, but I am still loss. I want to do Gods will. I am trying to get my life right with the Lord, and let him lead me and guide me. I truely belive God is testing my patience. Please respond.

Well, I don't know how this would work since I've never been in a situation like that, but my feeling is that you should stay. Let him have his space but dont' leave. Dedicate your time and energy to God and pretend he isn't there if that's what you must do. I feel that if you leave, it will allow him to do whatever it is he cant' do with you there. A live-in separation is my best suggestion. It's meeting int he middle without surrendering your marriage. <P>God doesnt' want your marriage to end. He hates divorce. Trust in Him and when the world is killing you (emotionally) just focus focus focus...get on your knees and weep to Him if you need to (and you probably will) and give it all to the God who made you His child.<P>That's my feeling after prayer. Don't leave, dont' give up. Let him have his space, but pray hard and stay in sight. Out of sight, out of mind. Don't get out of mind!<P>My prayers for you going up now...<P><P>------------------<BR>"Love...bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things...LOVE NEVER FAILS..."-ICorinthians13:7,8

Essense,<BR>I'm in agreement with Delivered. All of the study's I have read say its best if you stay in the same home. I had a hard time when my husband would come home clean up and go out with his girlfriend. I said it was to hard on me watching him do this to me and felt if he was going to continue to see her he would have to move out, well I came home one morning and he did move out and she moved in with him. In my heart I feel its best to stay home and have the seperation. Take it to God he will answer you. He does answer prayers. Focus on Jesus.
