I try to keep myself from having to go here, but I am definitely not that strong,but many of you are. I am still having marital problems and I do not see any end in sight to this one way or the other. I hate what this is doing to my children and to me too it breaks my heart to see them "suffer" the way they do when I leave or they have to. Please pray for us, please for Gods will to be done soon. Please pray for me to be able to overcome all this pain in my heart for my children and my wife.
thank you
Greg

I feel like I need to add a little more information for everyone here. My wife and I have been separated for over a year now. I go to our house every day to see my kiddos and my wife. Some days she seems like its all good, but most she acts hateful, rude, and bitter towards me and my children. She has a problem of not being able to forgive people, and/or holding grudges for many years at a time.  I know for a long time I was blinded to this because I loved her dearly, maybe that was the reason God pulled us apart so I could "re-find" Him?  I know it is difficult every day to have to walk out the door on everything I had and love but I know I must. I know I am not a perfect person, but my God is fashioning me in His image, and I will become what he wants me to be. I don't know what he has in mind for my little family, but I hope he will, with your prayers, give us the strength to overcome these tribulations!  I know there is more to tell you, but I am outta time at the moment if you have any questions feel free to ask I am an open book if you think you have any other advice.  Thank you again for your prayers for us!

greg, i will pray for you and your family.  remember when you can that our Lord knows your heart hurts so bad.  and that He loves you and your children with a love we cannot even fathom in our brains.  and, He has a purpose and a plan unique for you.  and for your children.  and even for your wife.

i am sorry for your heartache.

Greg,
 I have had marital problems of my own, and for me, it always helps to think of the conflicts as part of the fiery trial God is putting me through. When something starts up that is not my fault, the natural reaction is to defend myself. But I've learned there are better ways to deal with it, ways that are more about love than pride. It's a better idea to just listen and calmly discuss things than to shout back or immediately try to defend myself. It's humbling, sure, but is there anything wrong with being humbled?
 My marital problems have taught me more about love than I ever knew before, and they've also taught me how to be patient. I have a long way to go still (only been married two years  8)) but I can already see improvements in my life. When my wife is upset about something--even something I had nothing to do with--I'm more inclined to empathize than throw up the defenses of my ego.

Well here's a bit of an update for everyone. Tuesday this week my wife told me she went to talk to a lawyer to get a divorce, she figures a year apart is long enough. I just found out I have to get about about $9000 worth of dental work on my two kids. And last night, well, my wallet fell out of my pants pocket at walmart, I missed it for about 5 minutes, went back to look and everything was gone. All my money from my paycheck I keep was in there, I don't keep a checking account since I've been separated.  What a wonderful week!  I really could use a little prayer to prop me up for a while please. Man what a horrid week this has been! Feeling a little bit of a collapse coming on here! Thank you all for your previous prayers.
Greg
