When I pray about restoring my marriage I always pray "if it be Your Will", and I have to wonder sometimes maybe God isn't granting my prayer b/c that might not be the best thing for me, having H back full-time in my life?
Hi, Karen, you have taken the words right out of my mouth. Though I had pinned my hopes for a long time on an eventual reconciliation, I have come to think that the reason my M is proceeding unerringly towards D is because God knows something I don't. Perhaps because He can see into the heart of W for what it really is, perhaps He is allowing this M to end, to protect me and to prepare me for a new, more healthy phase of my life.
I've been following your sitch too. I myself need to call a truce with my W about the buying of stuff for the kids. The "arms race" is not only getting costly monetarily, it is giving our children a bad example of materialistic values.
