Newly separated...spouse left, 4th thread

[song]

Hi Antlers,

I read your thread and have been thinking about it, and two things come to mind.

Actually, one thing came to mind, and the other came to me from reading an old thread here from FaithfulH (I'm sure God directed me to that thread when He did, just like He directed me to your thread when He did this past weekend)

I will allow neither the reaction of my spouse, nor the urging of my friends,
nor the advice of my loved ones, nor economic hardship, nor the prompting of the devil to make me let up, slow up, blow up, or give up 'til my marriage is healed.

Your Dad wants what is best for you, and he wants your pain to be gone. Those aren't necessarily the same thing.

BTW ~ Anyone that is looking for scripture to justify their misdeeds (Yep, I was one) there will be plenty of chances for the Word to be skewed...the reason you are the one called to stand is because you are the stronger Christian. Please note I did not say "better" but the enemy had a foothold in your wife's life somehow before all this. And then the minute she gave him half the chance, he developed a stronghold.

I read that and it immediately resonated with me, and then I thought of you. Praying for you.
