Morning All,
Woke up this morning with a very troubled spirit. Been asking the Lord to reveal His truth to me concerning my marriage and wife. After this weekend, there has been a deep sense of trouble inside and I cant pinpoint it any further than it is concerning my wife and our relationship now and the future. Specifically, concerning keeping the kids tonight and tomorrow night. She asked if I could keep the kids overnight (live with parents right now) because she had a wedding to attend at 7:00 tonight at the church. Kids asked and I told them mom wanted me to keep them tonight because she had a wedding to attend. They looked puzzled and said, "That was Saturday". I looked at them puzzled. It was posted on their church web site and it was on Saturday at 2:00. Maybe it was a mistake, dont know, however, I have been asking the Lord to reveal to me the truth about my current situation. Could this be His prompting? I am a little down, however, I dont know whether I need to speak to her or not. We have never had a talk about the future or our relationship. Should I ask her anything about it or just let it go. However, this issue in my spirit is strong. I just want the truth.

You have asked a loaded, open-ended question!
</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Could this be His prompting? </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Ultimately, no one can answer this but you. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> I think it's safe to say it is probably His prompting for you to intercede in prayer for your wife (or XW)perhaps in some specific way. But at this point, since you're already D, it seems like any questioning on your part could seem like intrusion to her, and possibly damage your relationship with her.

On the other hand, if you do ask, and her reply is something that you really don't want to hear (anything from "it's none of your business" to "I am in another relationship now") that will make you feel worse.

My advice is to just keep it in the back of your mind, wait until after the holidays (not a good time to get into "deep" discussions about the future, anyway) and then if something else occurs, reassess the situation and see if THEN would be the time for "the talk".

Avondale,
Thanks for your reply. I am praying continually for her. I have already had to run off one person she was seeing last Christmas. That is, she called me and said this guy was riding by the house, coming by at all hours of the morning drunk while the kids were with her. I had to track him down in a bar and speak the "truth" to him. She was hanging out in a bar I wouldnt even hang out in and I have been in some pretty "bad" places. But that was last Christmas. However, I will wait and continue to pray.

THE WORD SAYS WHEN YOU SEEK HIM (GOD) WITH ALL YOUR HEART, YOU WILL FIND HIM. AS YOU CONTINUE TO PRAY, GOD WILL GIVE YOU A "KNOWING" AND PEACE ABOUT YOUR MARRIAGE. LEARN TO TRUST HIM IN THIS HURTFUL TIME AS HE IS THE ONLY ONE ABLE TO HEAL YOUR WOUNDS.
I, TOO, HAD BEEN ASKING THE SAME QUESTION CONCERNING MY HUSBAND FOR QUITE SOMETIME. THE ANSWERS CAME (NOT EXACTLY WHAT I EXPECTED)- BUT THE PEACE WAS THERE TO ACCOMPANY THE ANSWER. YOU KNOW ITS HIM WHEN YOU HAVE A CALM, QUIET PEACE ABOUT IT. I WILL BE PRAYING FOR YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN!!
