I am not a chick, but I yesterday I read The Christian Chick's Guide to Surviving Divorce. It is a really good book. In order for me to get through my day-to-day life during this limbo period, I think I need to get comfortable with the idea of life after divorce. I have terrible feelings of embarrassment, failure, guilt, and shame. I never in a million years would have thought that I would lose my wife's love.
One really important section of the book that hit home was putting my wife above God and making her an idol. I think that I have done this throughout my marriage. And at times, I have lost my connection with God by being too focused on my wife. I need to reconnect with God during this time. If my faith grows during this time of turmoil that will be a great positive to come out of this. I also hope to use this experience to help others how are suffering from divorce and to help people build stronger marriages.
Throughout most of my life I consistently said that divorce is one of the only crosses that I can't bear. It is eery how divorce has consistently been one of my biggest fears in life, and now it might actually happen to me. The feeling of abandonment is such a dreadful feeling. I would not wish this on my worst enemy. God please give comfort to all of us suffering here on this forum and those suffering through relationship issues around the world.
