Counseling - Paul's reply

 
Marital Situation: Please pray for my marriage. There are things I can't mention but my husband asked for a separation. I dreamed he did and then he did in real life. I am not sure why but I feel as though this is a demonic attack. Any advice is welcomed and so is scripture to back it up. Thanks ladies! God bless. My Reply :

Usually, there are two possible reasons:
1. One of the spouse wants the other person to get back to the right path.
2. The spouse (especially the husband) is lining up for some other plans. He is straddle between two boats.
---------------------
For #2 :
1) Write down the "warning lights" for the past few months up to 6 months ago. What I did or what I said that contributed to the current situation or vice versa ?
2) Go through the Pre-marital counseling worksheets to determine the areas of weakness in the marriage. I even think that each partner should give each other a report card every 6 months (or 3 months for a brief check-up --- like a physical check-up.
The periodic check-up with honest communication would allow some critical conversation help to support each other and not to blame each other.
-----------------------------------
Read Psalms 119 : To turn to God for wisdom and presence in the difficult situation (& calmer situation also).

Like Reply 13w Gary Wright Your question is coming from a LAW perspective. Faith is a gift. It's not something you do, but rather, what God gives. The Holy Spirit imparts the GIFT of faith through Gospel and Sacrament. Any time one asks questions which begin with "how much", "how often", (i.e. attempting to quantify) you can be sure you're asking a LAW question and not a GOSPEL question. Faith is always a gift.

Church / Prayer

please turn your cell phone "side way" to read  “Church is hard. Church is hard for the person walking through the doors, afraid of judgment. Church is hard for the pastor’s family, under the microscope of an entire body. Church is hard for the prodigal soul returning home, broken and battered by the world. Church is hard for the girl who looks like she has it all together, but doesn’t. Church is hard for the couple who fought the entire ride to service. Church is hard for the single mom, surrounded by couples holding hands, and seemingly perfect families. Church is hard for the widow and widower with no invitation to lunch after service. Church is hard for the deacon with an estranged child. Church is hard for the person singing worship songs, overwhelmed by the weight of the lyrics. Church is hard for the man insecure in his role as a leader. Church is hard for the wife who longs to be led by a righteous man. Church is hard for the nursery volunteer who desperately longs fo...
