Well the day after the last counseling session my wife asked whether I could take off the week of 10/18 to go with her to VA for job training. She did not really say why except that we would spend some time together for the week. Well the time is here...

Today's the day in exactly 119 minutes we should be sitting down together for counseling Lord give me peace, serenity and wisdom. Friends pray for me. Louis

T1MT, STEPHEN, SEAN, AUGUSTUS, JEREMY, Thanks for your support and you have all been in my prayers, Augustus, pray for guidance and listen carefully for the answer, a delay of some type may be fine but ask the Lord, and read about separation, and returning...

In a week I've gone from feeling good about things and initiating conversation to apathy about the whole situation. My car broke down Sat. which may not seem a big thing but I have never had to have it towed 10 years 120,000 miles. I took one step...

Well today would be about my 5th counseling session by myself, but between the Dr. asking to speak with her to help me and my suggesting that she go instead if she would like, AND GOD. It looks like I am going to meet her at the session, introduce her...

It has taken me a while to get back to this, I have still been reading the bible and the 365 day Love Dare but so much has happened that I have not had a chance to post. I cant remember whether it was the saturday before she left 07/31 or a week before...

I am not depressed, and will finish the summary of the week before which was good. Right now I am hurt and lonely. I had gotten past, well your leaving and I don't need you, now (before prayer) that seems like the only thing to fall back on to stop...

NEVER thought I would be at this point but with God the true love I have seems to have made a difference. I am borrowing a truck and helping pack tonight so her move goes smoothly tomorrow. If anybody is interested how it got to this point let me know...

I still believe in my vows the way they were. I just did not understand how important they were with GOD. I do now. Thank you everyone for your support send me a message if you want to stay in contact by email. I will be back from time to time. MY VOW...

I have already gone through, blaming myself, releasing my guilt, blaming her for her parts then forgiving and realizing it was both of us. I also went through both I don't need you and I need you if GOD wants it. Well I know and told her that I want...

I feel so stupid about this 5-1/2 years of marriage and while I know some things she wants to do. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HER DREAMS ARE. I will try but I don't know if she will let me know them now.

Opps with the way the days have gone looks like I got this one an the Bible one mixed up in writing my journal. Well bottom line is that I included both of these in a letter to her asking her to study the bible and pray with me. I did say that if she...

I have written to her about this and I believe she will read it but she says she did not finish yet. I will give her space but as the book says we should be praying together and admitting and asking for correction of our faults and fears before GOD and...

I am already in Christian counseling, but if we reconcile I will do my best to find strong christian couples to mentor us and be friends with us.

I complimented (and meant it) the fact that with her leaving she still has a prayer list and most of the things are for other people in our family. Also where I am concerned she doesn't pray for me to change but to continue and grow in my walk with...

04:20AM I am up and she got up I let her know that I would like to include her in any upcoming decisions because I respect her opinion. Yesterday I was honest about everything as far as me letting her know that I did not want to hold anything back and...

Sex has not been a problem to initiate, she won't say why but she says yes. It's just not the same as before (kind of mechanical) Anyway I let her know the dare and she agreed to it and low and behold nature interfered, she did warn me it might...

Most of the issues I had with my parents I was forced to confront early on in our marriage, there are other issues but most of them are not marriage related.

I have prayed for openness, Trust and communications.

I am doing this naturally now without thought of reward. I am not sure it is flowing from GOD but it is how I feel

It was hard but not as hard as I thought. I asked her if she needed help packing for her and my son.

She has probably told me that I expec to much but very few times. In my wordly way I tried to be a good husband rarely saying no (but apparently only to the things she felt important) helping out, cooking, cleaning on my own (not enough) and generally...

Ok already completed this in day 25 I really do forgive her and told her that the one thing that was still bothering me that I will forgive her for daily is her attitude as she is leaving. It's hard for me to explain it to her but now that her decision...

I feel that I have already done this but I will pray to make sure

I have already confessed to her the wrongs that I have done, I asked her today to double check and she could not think of any others. I am pretty sure that she has not forgiven me in Christ (possibly in an earthly way) based on the way she speaks to me...
