My Marriage

Christian brothers and sisters,

Please be in prayer for me and for my husband Rick, for we still have a very broken marriage, which has been broken the whole of our 50 years of marriage. And it is still in the bad condition it has always been in. So what we have is not a marriage and it has never been a biblical marriage. What we have are two separate people living separate lives who share a few things in common, like our kids and our grandkids, but we are going opposite directions. We are on friendly terms most of the time, but there is no real connection there. And this is not an area where there can be compromise, for this is not about trivial stuff like just differences of opinion over things. And nothing that I am saying here about our situation is being hidden from my husband, either, for this is a subject that we talk about here and there, for it is an ongoing situation that never ends. So there are no surprises here. And he and I talked about this again in the past couple of hours. He knows he is doing wrong to me and to God, even though he professes faith in Jesus Christ. And all I am asking of you at this time is just to pray. I am just saying we need prayer.

Thank you. Sue

  6. Sue, I will pray for you, but I would also like to offer some advice. The fact that you are together after 50 years says something. I can’t even imagine the life you’ve faced together, but in spite of how hard it is I would encourage you both to find one thing each day that you are thankful to God for in the person you are with. This may seem hard at first, but give thanks to God in spite of the wrong and focus on the good. You may even find yourself thanking God for some of the difficult things and hardships you have experienced because they have led you into a deeper relationship with Him.

    People are broken and often we can’t change ourselves and our spouses can’t change us. God can change us, but he loves us and respects our freedom. We must be willing to let Him change us.

    Best wishes and may you both find peace and reconciliation.

    • Mark, thank you for the good and wise counsel. I appreciate it very much. This has been my practice for a long while, but I can’t say that I do it every day. So, I will be more conscious to make certain I do that daily. Thank you. Sue Love
