Honestly SF, your husband needs some serious counseling.
If he was so wise as to the workings of the mind, as you have suggested time and again, I think he would have figured out by now that he's got some serious issues that he needs HELP with.
I don't buy the line that he's already smarter than all the counselor's that are out there.
And if the resistance to counseling is due to religious beliefs, I have to say that I think that's just plain silly. God expects us to lean on Him for our support, but I refuse to believe that God denies us the use of medical treatment.
He talks about all the things going on in his mind. He has expressed signs of paranoia and severe depression. And yes, for all who will remind me, many MLC'ers have some of these symptoms as well. My response is that just about all of them could use some counseling at some point to help quiet the voices that keep them slaves to their selfishness.
I do believe that in many cases God has already equipped us to be able to help ourselves in matters like these. He does not often work through direct intervention these days. He is our rock, our spiritual strength, our moral compass, but He expects US to take the steps we need to find healing.
God did not transport the israelites to the promised land. He made them march there. Keep that in mind.
Blessings,
Bill
