God said to man it is not good that man be alone and without a helpmeet.
You chose your wife, so now you are suppose to be one with her. Man is not to sit there and let things happen, he is there to make things happen.
In the ideal world , you decided on the number children, and where you live and exactly how you live . Your wife should have always been in agreement with you as the head.
If you have to work two jobs sometimes , that is okay but otherwise as a house hold they may need to cut back. Hopefully the compulsive spending. spending can be controlled . Many of us have far too much stuff in this country.
I heard a man yesterday talking on the radio about losing his house in a fire. He said after the shock , he realized that he could not remember what half of the stuff that was in the house, all he knew was that all closets and spaces and garage were jamed full. He has slowly replaced things but now he realized that the stuff he had was not that "important"
WE work jobs we do not like so we can buy stuff that we do not need.
It is a very hard job to be the head of something. It not just getting the best seat, it takes a lot of time thinking and planning and then implimenting your team. In marriage it is a team effort
It got me thinking then , I had just ordered DISH network, I kept asking why, I am a TV adddict
and will waste a lot of time watching all kinds of rotten stuff that will enter and pollute my mind.
It cost 49.00 month with a 2 yr commitment , after I cancelled it, boy or boy AT&T tried to lower the rate to 35 , said I could cancel at any time and that I did not have to buy the equipment. They finally understood I meant no.
Darrens Perhaps the burdens you are feeling have you exactly where God wants you. It is when we need help that we seek the Father the most. Christ is the head of man. The Father is His head.
I do not know what you mean by His not being married, Jaweh was married to Israel, boy what a family they were, the wife and kids almost never listened.
Jesus has been waiting 2000 years for His Bride and she will be spotless.
Then He will show all man how to live rignteously and eventually All will be in All
Beloved
