As much as I pray I don't have to go through that, that's what it means.
I guess another way of looking at it is, who are you trying to please? Yourself, or God? Which is more important? And if he will restore your marriage, can you hold out and wait for him to do that at his timing? I know I caused a lot of years of damage in mine. So I know if it takes years, its because I took years.
There are times when I see my W and think it will never happen. But then I remind myself of who is in charge and what is there that he can't do?
