The reason you feel so tired is because you are in a spiritual battle - trust me when I say you are fighting and don't even know it. I was in a repeated adulterous marriage and the first thing I did was consult God .. what do I do ?? Do I stay in the marriage or do I leave the marriage ?? Only God can give you this answer but you must seek Him wholeheartedly. I pray you are empowered to be the woman He created you to be, don't allow the marriage to take you off course with your purpose for His kingdom. Seek Him first .. not for your marriage but for who He is and the rest will follow - whether He says stay or go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2613335924468202284.post-79890115105954607292012-05-09T08:12:34.632-04:002012-05-09T08:12:34.632-04:00I have been positive in the face of the most devas...I have been positive in the face of the most devastating and hurtful aspects of repeated adultery...after 25 years of marriage I am just feeling dead inside. Is there a point when you should just "face the facts"? I have lost all interest in life, I don't want to do anything with anyone and I just want to be alone. This is not like me, people have called me the eternal optimist. I try to pray but my heart is just not in anything. What is wrong with me? My husband appears to be faithful now, he is reading his bible and he has always been a good father. He puts no priority on our relationship, talked up for months how we were going to do something big for our 25 year anniversary, but then planned nothing. I feel like a stranger living in my house. I have pushed through some of the hardest times in my life and continued to be positive about it, I don't understand why I feel this way now. People think we have such a great marriage. I feel paralyzed emotionally, It's just not in me to be postive anymore, so I just stay quiet. What is wrong with me?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2613335924468202284.post-802952388157574772012-05-05T07:25:36.684-04:002012-05-05T07:25:36.684-04:00Almost two years ago my husband told me he was &qu...Almost two years ago my husband told me he was "done" with our marriage. I immediately went to my knees and asked God to change ME. Proverbs 14:1 (and Ephesians 5:33) was a big part of my journey. This is about the power a WOMAN has to build up her house or tear it down. So I decided to stop shredding my house. One thing I started doing was whistling in the mornings! :). Instead of coming in to breakfast with grumblings about my night or my day ahead or complaints about what the children weren't doing to get ready for school, I whistled. The change in the whole family was palpable. It's like every day your family looks to you to see what kind of mood they "can" be in. You set the stage. A man probably has the same power. I know my husbands attitude affects me. I love when he's belting out a tune because that lets me know "we" are happy :). For me, it started purposefully. And some days it's still forced positivity. But overall, my family and my marriage were transformed by "positivity".MBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16467884988668464341noreply@blogger.com
