My Marriage

[KLG620]

i have received many prayers over the last few days for my marriage and I deeply appreciate them all. I ask for continued prayer. My wife, Melissa, filed for divorce a couple of months ago. It is due to be final February 10 and she seems more resolute than ever. I love her with all my heart and do not want this. I believe in God's word on marriage and divorce. I know that I failed at being as strong of a Godly husband that I should have been. But I want to commit my marriage fully to God and be the husband and father I should be. I have told her that as well as the fact that I want to be the spiritual head of the household. We have a 2yr old daughter that does not deserve this either. Melissa had even mentioned in the past that our daughter is much happier with us together. She has always claimed to be a Christian woman, but seems to be heading in the wrong direction. She knows this is wrong and against God's word. She knows that our daughter needs to be raised with us together in a loving, Chrisitan household. She has made some poor decisions since she has filed and I am really not sure what she is thinking. She refuses to discuss anything excep the divorce. I know that God is walking with me through this. But, it is honestly hard to have patience and let God take care of it. I have never committed myself to anyone like this. And I can't believe that she does not love me anymore. I continue to pray day and night for reconciliation. And I have the Pastor of my church as well as many church members praying for us. Please pray for Melissa, myself (Ken), and our marriage.

I pray for you and would like to share this

The Whirlpool

(author unknown)

He was caught in the whirl of the pool of dismay,

By a thoughtless remark he had said;

He had injured a friend in a nonchalant way,

And the love they cherished came to a stand.

To his mirror he went, in its glass to confide,

And his face was both haggard and pale,

And he asked of the glass, "Should I swallow the pride,

That is pinning me down like a nail?

Should I go to my friend with remorse on my face,

A remorse that I honestly feel?

Should I beg him this whirlpool of shame to erase,

In a soul-stirring voice of appeal?"

"As your heart so dictates," said a voice from the glass,

"I advise you to follow its path,

And remember 'twill pay you to keep off the grass,

That is bordered with ill words and wrath."

So he went to his friend, and he asked most sincere,

To be taken again to his heart

And the whirlpool of friendship once more does endear,

These friends who had drifted apart.

If there's someone you know, whom you treated that way,

And you heart is both heavy and blue,

Seek and find him again without further delay,

Don't wait until he comes to you.

You'll find that the whirlpool of love will replace,

Every misunderstanding and strife,

It will give you the courage to meet face to face,

The changeable Whirlpool of Life.
