  • Why Romance Turns Toxic

    Why Romance Turns Toxic

    Most everyone wants to fall in love, especially codependents. To us, love is perhaps the highest ideal, and relationships give our lives meaning and purpose. They enliven and motivate us. A partner provides a companion when we have difficulty initiating action on our own. Being loved also validates our sense of self-esteem, overcomes shame-based  doubts about our lovability, and soothes our fears of loneliness. But too often a beautiful romance turns sour. What was a wonderful dream becomes AmoLatina.com review  a painful nightmare. Ms. Perfect or Mr. Right becomes Ms. or Mr. Wrong. The unconscious is a mighty force. Reason doesn’t seem to stop us from falling in love, nor make it any easier to leave! Even when the relationship turns out to be toxic, once attached, ending the relationship is as hard as falling in love was easy!

    The Chemistry of Romance and Falling in Love

    Our brains are wired to fall in love – to feel the bliss and euphoria of romance, to enjoy pleasure, and to bond and procreate. Feel-good neurochemicals flood the brain at each stage of lust, attraction, and attachment. Particularly dopamine provides natural high and ecstatic feelings that can be as addictive as cocaine. Deeper feelings are assisted by oxytocin, the “cuddle hormone,” released during orgasm. It’s directly linked to bonding and increases trust and loyalty in romantic attachments.

    The Psychology of Romantic Love – Whom We Find Attractive

    Psychology plays a role, too. Our self-esteem, mental and emotional health, life experiences, and family relations all influence whom we’re attracted to. Experiences, both positive and negative, Meetme impact our choices and make someone appear more or less attractive. For example, we might find commonality attractive, but avoid someone who cheated on an ex if that has happened to us before. We’re attracted to subtle physical attributes, albeit unconsciously, that remind us of a family member. More mysterious, we can be attracted to someone who shares emotional and behavioral patterns with a member of our family even before they become apparent.

    The Ideal Stage of Romance

    It’s true that we’re blinded by love. Healthy idealization is normal and helps us fall in love. We admire our beloved, are willing to explore our partner’s interests, and accept his or her idiosyncrasies. Love also brings out parts of our personality that were dormant. We might feel manlier or more womanly, more empathic, generous, hopeful, and more willing to take risks and try new things. In this way, we feel more alive, because we have access to other aspects of our ordinary or constricted personality. Additionally, in early dating, we’re usually more honest than down the road when we become invested in the relationship and fear speaking our truth might precipitate a breakup.

    Although, healthy idealization doesn’t blind us to serious warning signs of problems, if we’re depressed or have EliteSingles.com low self-esteem, we’re more likely to idealize a prospective partner and overlook signs of trouble, such as unreliability or addiction, or accept behavior that is disrespectful or abusive. The neurochemicals of romance can lift our depressed mood and fuel codependency and love addiction when we seek a relationship in order to put an end to our loneliness or emptiness. When we lack a support system or are unhappy, we might rush into a relationship and become attached quickly before really knowing our partner. This is also referred to as “love on the rebound” or a “transitional relationship” following a breakup or divorce. It’s far better to first recover from a breakup.

    The Ordeal Stage of Romance

    After the initial ideal stage, usually starting after six months, we enter the ordeal stage as we learn more things about our partner that displease us. We discover habits and flaws we dislike and attitudes we believe to be ignorant or distasteful. In fact, some of the same traits that attracted us now annoy us. We liked that our mate was warm and friendly, but now feel ignored at social gatherings. We admired his bold and decisive, but learn he’s rude and close-minded. We were enchanted by her carefree spirit, but are now appalled by her unrealistic spending. We were captivated by his unfettered expressions of love and a promised future, but discover he’s loose with the truth.

    Additionally, as the high wears off, we start to revert to our ordinary personality, and so has our partner. We don’t feel as expansive, loving, and unselfish. In the beginning, we may have gone out of our way to accommodate him or her, now we complain that our needs aren’t being met. We’ve changed, and we don’t feel as wonderful, but we want those blissful feelings back.

    Two things happen next that can damage relationships. First, now that we’re attached and fear losing or upsetting our partner, we hold back feelings, wants, and needs. This puts up walls to intimacy, the secret sauce that keeps love alive. In its place we withdraw and breed resentments. Our feelings can come out sideways with sarcasm or passive-aggression. As romance and idealization fade, the second fatal mistake is to complain and try to turn our partner into who we first idealized him or her to be. We feel cheated and disillusioned that our partner is now behaving differently than in the beginning of the relationship. He or she, too, is reverting to their ordinary personality that may include less effort made to win you and accommodate your needs. Our partner will feel controlled and resentful and may pull away.

    In some cases, we might discover serious problems – that our partner has an addiction, mental illness, or his abusive or dishonest. These are issues that require a serious commitment to change and often years of therapy to overcome. Many codependents, who get quickly involved for the reasons stated above, will sacrifice their own happiness and continue in a relationship for years trying to change, help, and fix their partner. The dysfunctional family dynamics of their childhood often get repeated in their marriages or relationships. They may unconsciously be contributing to the problem, because they’re reacting to an abusive or controlling parent. Change requires healing our past and overcoming shame and low self-esteem to feel entitled to love and appreciation.

    Getting to the Real Deal

    We might not want to continue a relationship that involves addiction or abuse or has other serious problems. Lacking major obstacles, getting past the ordeal to the real deal requires self-esteem, courage, acceptance, and assertiveness skills. It necessitates the ability to honestly speak up about our needs and wants, to share feelings, compromise, and resolve conflict. Rather than try to change our partner, our efforts are better placed on learning to accept him or her. (This doesn’t mean accepting abuse.) This is the struggle for intimacy, and requires a commitment by both partners to get through the ordeal stage with mutual respect and a desire to make the relationship work.

  • My Husband Says He Doesn’t Care If I Stay Or Leave

    My Husband Says He Doesn’t Care If I Stay Or Leave

    I sometimes hear from wives who have been telling their husband that they are considering leaving the home or the marriage. Some are sincere about this. They are unhappy and feel that taking a break by leaving may be the best thing at the time. Others are not exactly serious about leaving. They are threatening to leave in the hopes that their husband TripTogether.com will ask them not to (or they will at least get a reaction out of him to show that he still cares.)

    Unfortunately, sometimes this backfires. The wife will announce her intention to leave and hope that her husband will try to stop her (or at the very least ask her not to leave.) Instead, her husband will tell her that he really doesn’t care if she stays or goes. This leaves her unsure of how to proceed. Does she go when she really doesn’t want to in order to save face or make a point? Or does she cave and simply tell him that she changed her mind? And what does her husband’s indifference say about the state of her marriage or her ability to save it?

    She might say, “my husband and I have been fighting pretty badly for almost four months. Things are definitely not happy at home. For a while, my husband was apartment hunting and was telling me that he was going to move out, but he never actually did. Still, he complained constantly. I got tired of hearing him complain all of the time, so I told him that I was going to leave so he wouldn’t have to be so unhappy. Now, I’m going RussianBrides to be honest. I really hoped that he would confess that he really doesn’t want for us to live apart, which is why he hadn’t actually signed a lease or moved out yet. Instead, his exact words to me were: ‘I really don’t care if you stay or go.’ He just sort of shrugged his shoulders and said that nothing really changes between us no matter what we do. Now, I am unsure about how to proceed. This hurts me. I had hoped that his not moving out meant that he was willing to save our marriage, but now he acts as if he is indifferent as to whether we live together or not. I don’t want to pack my stuff and leave, but what do I even say now? How do I avoid not having to leave my house? Do I just have to admit that I gambled and lost and that my marriage is over?”

    I don’t think so. If everyone who ever threatened to leave their marriage ended up divorced, the divorce rate would be much higher than it actually is. Many couples make these sorts of threats in the heat of the moment and nothing actually comes of them. The threats are understandable. They are usually made because things are bad, but nothing is changing. So one of the spouses decides to shake things up by threatening to leave. VictoriaHearts.com The hope is the other spouse will beg them not to go and will have to craft a plan to make things better. Frankly, your husband might have done exactly the same thing when he threatened to leave previously. He did not make good on the threat and I don’t believe that you have to, either, especially if you really don’t want to go.

    However, it goes without saying that in order for both of you to want to stay put, you’re going to need to dig in and really improve your marriage so that one or both of you do not get so frustrated that you just give up. I think it would be helpful if you could clear the air, if possible, so that you both know that no one is going anywhere immediately. Because if the living situation is up in the air, it becomes harder to commit to doing the work necessary to save your marriage. If you doubt that your spouse will stick around and work with you, there can be some uncertainty, which could hurt your progress. So you might try something like, “well, you may not care if I leave or stay, but I have decided that I care very much. I have calmed down and thought about it and, if I’m being honest, I really don’t want to leave. I said that I did because I was frustrated and didn’t know how to fix this. But I think of instead of us both getting angry and threatening to leave, we could turn our energy toward making things better between us so that no one has to go. I’d prefer not to leave and live alone. I am hopeful that if we work together, neither of us will need to live alone.”

    Yes, saying this will make you feel vulnerable, may feel awkward, and requires that you are the bigger person. But it will hopefully buy you some time. After you have cleared the air, hopefully no one will need to threaten to leave in the hopes that the other will ask them not to go. Because in essence, you will have accomplished what you are both hoping for – the reassurance that with work, no one will have to leave, because no one really wants to separate.

  • What No One Tells You About (Muslim) Marriage Events

    What No One Tells You About (Muslim) Marriage Events

    Singles, singles and more Muslim singles… There are plenty of them, in all shapes, sizes, races and with various qualifications. Yet, there doesn’t seem to be one singleton sparking enough interest to say DilMil.co ‘let’s take this further and go for a coffee?’ So what’s going wrong at these marriage events? How do single Muslims get married these days?

    The hush voices and the deafening awkwardness is unavoidable as the singles wait around for the event to start.

    I watch them tiresomely introduce themselves over and over again. I see some singles losing interest, playing on their phone or jumping onto their social media lives. I even witness many bromances and womances blossoming right before my eyes… huh?

    Eventually when the intros are over, relief… Phew! Then the disappointment hits. Why? Because there’s no one you want to speak to! You scroll down the list of names and still no one interests you or is remotely like the person you want to marry! You get to the end of the list and start again hoping you overlooked someone, you realise you datinggrp.com haven’t and the stifled despair is clear to see… argh!

    Half the people you’ve met you don’t even remember, some people turned up late and missed the intros altogether! Clearly creating a good first impression isn’t important when you’re trying to meet your soul mate!

    After much consideration and deliberation the singles send some requests or accept ‘requests to meet’ for a one-to-one conversation.

    These one-to-one conversations can leave you speechless at the lack of ‘conversation’! At the other end of the spectrum, astonishingly some singles are willing to drop their lives, marry and move in with you tomorrow! It makes you wonder, what on earth just happened?!

    Singles walk away from these one-to-ones feeling completely underwhelmed. The brothers talk at the sisters, hoping something they said would connect with them. While the sisters’ preferred MeetMe.com approach is a hostile and uncensored interrogation of the brothers’ past relationships and haraam (prohibited) activities… Awkward much!

    Despite putting yourself through all of that and with little luck in meeting someone suitable, how do singles get married these days… or is it that they just don’t?!

    Some have been trying to get married for years. They attend marriage events and use online marriage websites yet they’re still struggling to find ‘the one’. They say they’re okay with it but their feeling of defeat is palpable.

    The brothers either don’t know what they want or they think the sisters are too picky. Whereas the sisters think the brothers are immature, untrustworthy and irresponsible… ouch!

    Singles with no ‘requests to meet’ make a quick exit hoping no one notices. While others cling on to hope that someone will speak to them at some point.

    I watch the event organisers eager to see the singles find marriage, seek out singles and personally set up a ‘request to meet’ with other singles. However it takes some coaxing, cajoling and a huge dollop of luck to make this happen.

    Unfortunately sometimes there are also after-effects of these events… There are some brothers who can’t take no for an answer and think following a single Muslimah (Muslim woman) to the bus stop or tracking her down on social media is a good move… Stalker much!!

    It leaves me with the question: how many brothers and sisters exchange numbers (not including bromances or womances) and actually take the next step to meet again?

    So where does it leave these singles… Do Muslim singles know how to ‘date’ halal? Are they at these events because they want to be there? Or is it because their siblings, friends and cousins are getting married and they feel left behind!

    These marriage events are a great resource for meeting other singles. They’ve successfully paired thousands of married couples. But are singles taking full advantage of them?

    Are the singles looking for a spark or even an inkling of one? Is that asking for too much as a first meeting? So does that then mean love at first sight is out of the question?

  • Marriage, an Inexpressible Relation

    Marriage, an Inexpressible Relation

    It has been, and would be said that “Marriages are decided and performed in heaven”. Does this statement hold true in present days’ context? Nobody can ever answer precisely to this question. SharekAlomre.com However, pondering on our own experiences, we have unique answers and views based on individual personalities.

    Coming to the point; we as individuals would have undergone certain issues in relations. Those relations may have popped up suddenly, after much interaction or through arranged ways in familial channels. How far those relations stand up to the expectations in us, and for the society at large?

    If we consider the Indian context, earlier we used to have arranged marriages through familial channels that were considered the only way to seek a marriage relation. Moreover, it was considered pure. Again, nobody used to go out of their caste or religion to seek a relation. Since India has been a mixture of cultures that includes various castes, Arabiandate  creed, and religion, each one used to have their own way of performing a marriage.

    In this age of Information Technology, due to the globalization around the world, there is huge immigration and emigration of people to various places, where they become part of those places and culture; eventually, leading to exchange of ideas, information, cultural etiquettes and beliefs. Apparently, this has led to the push in acquiring and adopting new ideas of liberalism that speaks more about freedom and expression. Moreover, this has given rise to inter-religion and inter-caste marriages, which is a wonderful development.

    Again, the idea of liberalism varies from culture-to-culture. Earlier days, few societies in Kerala and Meghalaya, used to practice strong Matriarchal form of society, where the bridegroom used to migrate to his bride’s home. However, in most of the other parts of India, it is strong Patriarchal form of society, where the bride migrates to groom’s place. Observing these two cases, the ideas of people do differ based on regions along with marriage. These societies still do practice, however prospective generations are slowly drifting towards changing the idea of marriage in their respective societies. RussianBrides.com We can see that women have high hand in Matriarchal society, while gents have in Patriarchal society. So, if any change is sought in respective societies contrary to what has been followed, leads to liberal ideas and transformation. This gives rise to liberalism, which is eventually seeking relation out of their societies or communities.

  • Love When Exhaustion Sets Up Camp

    Love When Exhaustion Sets Up Camp

    “LET’S just do this,” my wife said firmly, yet in a whisper quiet voice, looking straight at me. It was a moment in time when every fibre of me simply walked in unison with this most previous instruction. FlirtWith.com Five seconds beforehand, I definitely wanted to quit!

    I did not want to do it, but again, seven years hence, she whispered me.

    It’s the power of her wonderfully feminine love – she is persuasive when she is desperate. A husband who promised not to moan, who did groan, when she herself wanted every bit to have herself some of that action.

    But she didn’t. She wouldn’t. For her, there is no purpose in bathing in defeat, though every sinew in her weary body was pulsating with pain. For her, there was too much wisdom to sacrificed… what, for folly?

    Our mini-interaction highlighted what it is for all couples – a forwards-backwards land of compromise and acceptance.

    How do partners in coupledom operate when they are both exhausted leading the family enterprise? Sure, they may bicker. It might be tense for a few minutes. But one soon stays quiet. The other, too, reflects. And the one who was harsh comes. They come in the mood of hope but inflected toward repentance. They turn the ship around Anastasiadate  with their confession. And, exhausted, they begin again, continuing the working together, giving their energy to the task of being one, whatever it takes.

    There is one person I want to be with whether we’re exhausted or not. Love does not shift just because the season is arduous. Dating.com Love bunkers down, does what is necessary, gets through, keeping the faith.

  • What Sacrifices Are You Willing To Make To Stay Married?

    What Sacrifices Are You Willing To Make To Stay Married?

    Marriage is never perfect nor is it always imperfect. Perception plays a big part in marriage happiness or marriage unhappiness. So what makes some marriages last for 50 years and some less than 6 months? Is it the wrong 2 people getting married for the wrong reason? YourChristianDate.com Maybe it’s less about the people and more about perceptions and expectations. Maybe, just maybe, it has to do with sacrifices or lack thereof.

    OK, we can agree on this I’m sure. No marriage is perfect. You may be looking at a couple who just seem perfect together. They have the right looks, great jobs, a gorgeous home and the cutest little children. Guess what? Even the couples who look perfect have to make sacrifices, just to live happily ever after.

    Here’s the deal. You have to be willing to live together and give up something you want. Let’s dig a little deeper.

    OK, you may want to have a 5 bedroom house in the right school district and drive the upscale cars like everyone else in the neighborhood. So what are you willing to give up, to get those things? Amolatina Are you willing to have less family time and time with your spouse as one or both of you may have to work more hours to maintain the lifestyle?

    I can’t understand why spouse complain about not having enough time together when the very lifestyle they seek demands less quality time together.

    Then there are the other sacrifices you have to make if you really want to live happily ever after. Here are a few of them you need to consider, for the sake of keeping your marriage together;

    Don’t make hanging out with friends more important than being with your family

    Avoid making working late a habit that you can’t break

    Be willing to forgive, sacrificing your need to always be right

    Sacrifice buying what you want and sometimes buy what you need

    Consider the needs of your spouse over your needs, sometimes

    Think about giving up some of the material things for better relational things

    To sacrifice is not easy but it’s necessary, if you want to keep your relationship healthy. A key to sacrificing though is that both of you must be willing to sacrifice. This will not work if only one of you is willing to do so.

    Clearly if your spouse wants to hang out with co-workers every Friday night while you are at home, alone or with the kids, that’s not healthy. Of course spouses need their space. I get that. However, ArabianDate.com no one needs to try to hang on to their old life style when they were single. If a person tries to be married & single they will end of single. A marriage has to have boundaries. Without them, the marriage will crash and burn, pretty quickly.

    If you are frustrated or unhappy in your marriage, it’s probably because sacrifices are not being made. Find out what those are and focus on making small but meaningful changes to bring you and your spouse closer together. Do you need more time and less-things or less time and more things? Whatever the It is, figure it out now and you will be able to live together, happily ever after.

  • Can Our Marriage Work If I Am The Only One Trying?

    Can Our Marriage Work If I Am The Only One Trying?

    I sometimes hear from people who have the strong sense that their marriage is potentially in trouble. They can not help but notice that something has changed. Their spouse may be distant or not affectionate. It might seem as if there is nothing to really talk about anymore. YourLatinMates.com There can be awkward silences or distant encounters. Many people mourn these losses because this is not what most of us envisioned on the day that we got married. So, it will be the inclination of many people to try and fix the marriage before it’s too late.

    Sometimes, though, it becomes pretty clear that although you are willing to try most anything to save or to fix your marriage, your spouse isn’t as enthusiastic. This leaves you wondering if it’s possible to make any positive changes when you are the only one who is trying or if you are just wasting your time.

    Someone might say, “our marriage has been slowly deteriorating for the last two and a half years. My husband and I don’t really fight, but we sort of act like strangers at this point. There’s just a distance and a coldness. We hang out with our friends more than each other. We aren’t really aware of what is happening in each other’s lives anymore. TripTogether.com review  It is like we are roommates. Since my husband is starting to spend less and less time at home, I fear that he’s going to give me the ‘I need space’ speech or to ask for a separation. So I decided that I need to make some changes to try to fix things. I started asking friends about what they would do, plus I did a little research and talked to people whose opinions I respect. I found out that if I invested more time in my marriage, then this would be a good first step. I was advised to make a point of asking my husband about his daily experiences and feelings. I was advised to devote more time to my marriage. So I have been trying to do these things, but my husband doesn’t respond very well. He will just sort of give me vague answers or look at me like I’m weird to want to interact with him. I finally admitted that I was just trying to make things better with our marriage. His response to me was that people who have good marriages do not have to ‘try.’ So he does not seem at all interested in ‘trying’ when it comes to improving or ultimately saving our marriage. I guess I question if I’m wasting my time. I’m willing to try just about anything, but if my husband is not going to do anything, is it all for nothing? Can I still make it work?”

    It’s really hard to predict the future in this way, but I can tell you my experience. My husband and I did separate because our marriage had gotten to the point where he was no longer happy. At first, he seemed completely unwilling to work with me. He just wanted space. AnastasiaDate.com He did not want to work or to make any changes no matter what I did or said to try to convince him otherwise. It eventually dawned on me that the only thing that I was going to be able to control was myself. Because we were separated, I did not have unlimited access to him. But I had unlimited access to myself. So that is where I placed most of my focus. I took a hard look at how I might have been contributing to the degradation of my marriage and I tried to address those issues. I wanted to be as healthy as I could possibly be if we ever reconciled. During the times when my husband and I did spend time together, I would just focus on making sure things went well and felt as comfortable as possible between us. I figured there would be plenty of time to work on the difficult things later. I realized that my husband’s reluctance meant that the whole situation was fragile, so I really only asked anything of myself initially.

  • The Lady With The Adulterous Husband

    The Lady With The Adulterous Husband

    Hebrews 13:4 (AMPC)

    “Let marriage be held in honor (esteemed worthy, precious, of great price, and especially dear) in all things. YourLoveMeet.com And thus let the marriage bed be undefiled (kept undishonored); for God will judge and punish the unchaste [all guilty of sexual vice] and adulterous.”

    Dear people of God, today’s society seems to have an unwritten rule especially in African societies, which is that the adulterous husband is not really frowned upon while the adulterous wife is greatly castigated for her immorality.

    As a result, while the faithful wife is coaxed to tolerate her immoral husband, the unfaithful wife is hounded, labelled all manner of names and even thrown out of her marriage by in-laws, her husband and even society.

    Why is this so? One reason I want to adduce is that the society appears to place more value on a married woman’s body and fidelity. However, this throws up the question, what about the unmarried DilMil.co review  lady who is giving her body free to a married man?

    Does she not have any plan to get married? When she does get married, does it remove the stain of what she had done to herself as a spinster? This is where spinsters should ponder very carefully.

    What do you gain from a life of immorality all for a few currency notes just to satisfy your lust for the “goodies” of life? And what are those goodies, if not clothes, bags, shoes, maybe a car and what else? Is it really worth it? Please consider this carefully.

    Now to the married lady with the adulterous husband as spouse. What could she possibly do when it does appear that the society is tolerant of her husband’s immorality? What options does she really have?

    Today’s lead Holy Bible text gives us critical information, AmoLatina.com which is that “God will judge and punish the unchaste [all guilty of sexual vice] and adulterous.”

    So this means God does not discriminate the way human societies do but God judges everyone according to His Word in the Holy Bible. God is therefore not tolerant of the adulterer whether husband or wife.

    This means the adulterous man or woman is in real danger of going to an eternal damnation unless he or she repents before death or before the Lord Jesus Christ comes again in Rapture.

    Here on earth, the adulterous husband is causing so much emotional torture to his wife from his sinful habit, so what should the woman do? He can even transfer a deadly incurable disease to his wife.

    I will not advise the faithful wife to physically fight her husband as she could lose her life in the process. I will not advise her to report the matter to any human being. I will not advise her to physically confront her husband’s immoral concubine because she could harm the person and it becomes a case of murder.

    In fact I will not advise her to do anything that offends God in a bid to save her marriage.

    I will only make her understand that she has to fight spiritually for her marriage and her husband. The truth is, satan is the one behind her marital problems and he, satan, is using both her willing and immoral husband and his immoral concubine to create problems for her.

    The married woman should realize that as long as she tolerates what is going on, which is caused by satan, she will never have peace. It is a spiritual problem so she must deal with it spiritually. Crying and lamenting to others over the situation also means she is tolerating it and it will never be resolved that way.

    All she needs to do is to exercise her God-given authority over all powers of darkness (Luke 10:19) by breaking satan’s hold over her husband and marriage in the name of the Lord Jesus.

    Using a simple prayer, she should say, “in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I break the power of satan over my marriage and over my husband. I put a permanent separation between my husband and every immoral woman in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.

    She should then praise God for answering her prayers. She should repeat this process every single day until she sees it happen physically. Her husband will repent sincerely from adultery, return to fidelity in his marriage and even beg for her forgiveness.

    Dear friend, it sounds very simple but it is the truth. However, please note that this can only work for a sincere, genuine Christian or child of God. There is enormous power available to a Christian given to us by God and by virtue of what the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished on the Cross of Calvary.

    That power can only be exercised in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and then satan, demons and their agents would flee.

    This is the beauty of being a Christian. God has delivered us from the total control and dominion of all powers of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of His dear Son, our Lord Jesus Christ – Colossians 1:13.

    Go and tell your friends whose marriages are in turmoil what Jesus has done for them. They don’t need to be desperate to save their marriage. They only need to trust Jesus Christ totally and all will be well when they obey and do exactly what His commandments stipulate.

    It is a great thing to be a Christian or child of the Living God and Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

    May the good Lord bless you as you heed His Word today, act on it and share with others in the Mighty Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.

  • My Spouse Doesn’t Know If He Wants To Come Back To Me

    My Spouse Doesn’t Know If He Wants To Come Back To Me

    If you are separated and living apart (but are still invested in your marriage,) it is very understandable when you feel extremely impatient. When I was separated, there were times when every day without my husband felt like torture. I actually used to fixate and ruminate on this feeling. So of course, when things start to look up between yourself and your husband, it is natural to begin to fantasize about his coming home. Sometimes, you think about this so much that you flat out ask him if he will just come home. Unfortunately, sometimes you don’t get the reaction LetmeDate.com that you’d hoped for. There are times when he doesn’t say yes and he doesn’t say no. He simply tells you that he isn’t sure. This leaves you wondering where that might leave you in the future. Should you just let go of your hopes or could this only be temporary?

    Someone might say, “for almost six months, my husband acted as if he could barely stand to even talk to me. Never mind the fact that he had moved out to avoid me and not fight with me. Him not even bothering to check up on me that hurt the most. I always wondered what he was doing or how he was, but it got to the point where I could not just call him up and ask about this, because he wouldn’t pick up my calls. So I was absolutely thrilled when he started calling me and then not screening his calls anymore. Even better, that lead to him asking me if we could meet a couple of times per week. All of this is more than I ever dared to hope for. Then, when we started to spend time together, things got off to an awkward start. But eventually, we started to click and things improved pretty quickly. After that, we really started connecting again. This has been such a precious time for me because it is almost like when we were first dating. I had very high SharekAlomre.com review hopes for a fast reconciliation. I just wanted to life our lives again and to forget about all of the pain with the separation. But a good deal of time went by and my husband didn’t say anything about this. Thankfully, we continued to see one another and to talk, but he made no mention of coming back home or of reconciling. It killed me to have such a good time together and then to go home alone. So one day I just couldn’t take it anymore and I blurted out ‘when are you coming back home?’ My husband looked at me like he was shocked at my outburst, and then he sighed and said that he wasn’t sure if he was ready for that yet. I was pretty stunned because he’d seemed happy and content while we were spending time together. Why would he be perfectly willing to be affectionate and to interact with me, but then not be sure if he wants to move back in? Does this mean that there is no hope for a reconciliation?”

    No, I definitely would not say that at all. My husband and I moved very gradually when things began to gel between us again. As much as I wanted for him to move back home, I was very afraid of having our reconciliation efforts fail. I knew that if we tried to reconcile and then things went south, then I would have a very difficult (if not impossible) time ever convincing my husband to attempt another reconciliation. So essentially, I knew that I only had once chance to make this work. And I knew how datinggroup.in lonely and miserable I was living alone. But even so, I wanted to wait until I could be relatively sure that things would actually work out.

    Your husband might be having a similar thought process right now. He could just be cautious not to rush things so that the spell isn’t broken – since things seem to be going so well right now.

    Believe me, I know how difficult it can be to continue to be patient when you what you want more than anything in the world is to not spend one more night alone. But when I would have these thoughts, I’d tell myself that I’d rather continue on with things as they were (on good terms between us) than to risk my progress by rushing. I just was not willing to go back to the time period where my husband was avoiding me, not returning my calls, and giving me very limited access to him. I decided that I would rather wait than return to that.

    Instead, I just tried to slant things so that my husband spent more and more time in our home. I’d offer to make him dinner. I’d ask him to fix things. Eventually he spent the night. Then this turned into him spending weekends. It got to where he was staying for several days at a time. Then he just moved back in, but there was nothing really official about it. This took so much pressure off of the situation. If we had a bad night together, he simply went back to his place, allowed things to cool off, and then we picked back up. We were able to evaluate our “hot spots” and places where we still had work to do before we attempted a full on reconciliation. This gradual approach meant there was much less risk and pointed out where we could still make improvements before my husband moved back in full time.
