I am reading over 100's of quotes on marriage, many are biblical. Ya know I've began to think of my relationship with my wife. She was so cold anx indifferent from day one of our marriage. This has lasted over 5 years. We were on and off on our dating. She was never faithful, nor loyal. Always arguing with me, to marry her.Finally i did.
Text after text, accusing me of fear of commitment. Wow now she's  flipped it and abandoned her marriage. So i sit here thinking even with me teaching, her involved in our little church,  where we missed out. So many ways to love each other. But then, i realized i did try millions of times, and she shunned me. At church, she gossiped about our private life. I I was very suspicious but in the end I turned my face away from it. Hoping and praying that my trust in her was the right thing to do.Please forgive me for bringing this up but on my blogs I really like people to see The Human Side of me as well as spiritual. Even though it is a marriage that I'm talking about I was reading Ephesians chapter 4 vs 2 and 3. With all lowliness and meekness with long suffering forbearing one another in love endeavoring to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace. The general subject here I was about the walk and service of the believer as in Christ. This scripture remind me that our love in our walk in Christ Jesus should include the way we treat our spouses. With gentleness and love. The Bible here is speaking of a Christian workers walk being Worthy of the position he holds. I was afraid in one day it would come to this. My spouse murmuring complaining to everyone in our small Church about her relationship with me. Shameful.
I'm sorry but it's very very difficult to remain focused when your spouse has abandoned you. It's difficult to wrap your spiritual arms around Christ and ask for mercy. Our spouses are humans just as we are and where they spend eternity is ever ever so urgent.
