I want to do God's will in my life and to work through this if it is possible to save my marriage. I read Dr. Dobson's book and I do need to try some tough love. But I am not a tough love person. I am a "be nice and generous with what you have" person.
Learning to say "no" is really hard for me. Thank you for your encouragement.
Tina,
Our Father knows what it takes to complete us, and He usually doesn't challenge us in the areas where we're already strong. Try to view this marital crisis as an opportunity to work on THOSE THINGS THAT TINA IS NOT GOOD AT (yet), regardless of what happens to your marriage.
My sister likes to say that "God will fix you, but only after He breaks you." Allow yourself to be broken, and commit to working on those parts of your God-given personality that need building up. And ask God to HELP you do that. In my experience, He gladly will.
