Hopeful Husband you are on the right track with yourself so stay focused on that. I learned tonight don't try to fix this marriage but try to win her back there is a difference. How to win her back good question and everyones sitch is a little different. All I know is that God is doing a great work in me and I have to know that whatever happens I will be ok. If for some reason she doesn't come back it won't be the end of life but I know there is someone out there that it will work out with. I guess life isn't always fair and sometimes there are some high cost for lessons that need to be learned especially if it is our relationship with God that he wants first. I'm not saying to give up but I do believe that God wants us all happy and not lonely, it is the very reason why God created Eve so that we would fulfill and compliment each other. Hopeful Husband we are young and I just can't envision God leaving us lonely the rest of our lives. Something good will come out of all of this God knows just what he is doing. My wife is wanting her named changed too, it's like they are cutting all ties so that they will feel completely free to go about doing what they want from then on out. I was thinking tonight that I haven't given up but if we divorce and have to move on then this is what she has choosen even if it is wrong. I will feel that I didn't choose to leave and end the marriage and will feel ok if I have to meet someone else someday. I would like to have a family someday it's just that I always wanted it to be with her. We can't put our lives on hold forever Hopeful. Pray that God will work it all out.
