Well, things are still wierd and strange but I thought I would let you all know that as of about 5 days ago we started talking again (like someone flicked a switch). I mentioned it to her last night and she grinned and said someone must have been praying about it. We both laughed b/c we were both praying about it! HA. Anyway, she is about to start digging into her past with her counselor. She is still saying she thinks she needs to live alone after we sell our current house but I think she might figure a lot out with her counselor and change her mind. I can see God working in her life (she is back to reading her Bible every morning!!!) and I know that when she finishes her search for Truth (that is what she is calling it) we will be back together. I honestly think that she is seeking God now and I know that will only produce 1 result.

HOORAY.

Just thought I would shine a little light into the darkness.

Thanks for sharing and providing an update. We're not going to let the Evil One win this one - too much prayer going on. Just so you know, the first 25 years are learning about each other, the 2nd 25 gets a lot easier Very Happy

To get a really good concept of how a man and a woman communicate and look at things differently, just sit and observe a little boy and little girl playing together. It will bring a smile to your face with great understanding of why women/men look at things from such diffferent perspectives.

Haven't heard from you in while, Dimwood. How are things going?

hey SAM. Ive been thinking about posting for a while. Well, things are the same but sometimes better. I am excited about all I am learning about worship during this time. I truly believe that God has allowed some of what is going on to show me some things about myself.

She is still going to counseling and has spent 3 weeks digging into her past family life. It has been very hard for her as she is trying to figure out what her motivation has been for a lot of her life decisions (including me). I am committed to being her rock through this no matter what the outcome as I see that as my responsibility as her husband. God is pretty clear with where I should be through this. She is still thinking about living for a time on her own but has stopped thinking about buying her own place. She is now talking about living with a friend. To me this is progress.

She just has a ton of people still praying like crazy for her.

One good thing is, her decision making progress has been slow in terms of moving out of your home. I will continue to pray that she changes her mind about that.

Something to consider - plan a two-three day getaway mini vacation for her if your budget allows. Not sure where you live, but an opportunity to sit on the beach, soak in some sun and do nothing all by herself, or with a close Christian girlfriend, may be just what she needs. Or, a quiet little
B & B that would wait on her hand an foot. I have a couple of lovely
B & B's in the Midwest I could recommend.

I continue to keep you both in my prayers and pray for a layer of protection over your marriage.

our budget is extremely tight right now so I am not sure if that is an option. sounds like a great idea though.
