I have an urgent marriage question.

by Maria Haworne
(Pearl, Ms USA)

My husband, Dale

My husband, Dale

How do I take, & deal with an alcoholic husband that might have a sex addiction? It is hard to be a christian wife with alcohol in the house. And, with him thinking about, & holding onto memories of an ex. And, on top of all that, his alcoholic brother is here too. But, he is worse then my husband is. And, we have 5 kids that were toke from us by his family we both are black sheep.
Satan has REALLY been attaking us, & attacking my husband. HELP!!!!!

God bless..
Maria

 Right Choices
by: Karen

Hi Maria,

To say that you have your hands full is a bit of an understatement. It can't be easy to deal with everything on your plate, that's for sure.

Unfortunately, you are spinning around in the same circle without seeing a place to stop. As long as your husband chooses alcohol, and as long as you allow your husband's brother to stay with you, I'm afraid your chances of turning your marriage around are pretty much zero.

The only way for you to move forward is to remove yourself from the living situation you're in. Maybe you can stay with a friend or family member until you can get some perspective on this.

Turning your life around is NOT an easy task. And you can't do it yourself. God absolutely has to be in the middle of it all.

If your husband wants to save your marriage, he will have to decide if he wants to hang around his brother and drink, or if he wants to work on your marriage. He can't do both. And until he decides, there is nothing you can do to change him.

So my advice to you is to find a Christian counselor or talk to your pastor about how to get your life back on track. It may mean building a life without him. Or it may mean a long road of rehab and all that it entails.

Either way, you can't keep existing in a marriage that is so filled with poison that it is sucking the life out of you. Make a break. Start working on your own issues so you can get into a place where you can make solid, right choices for your life.

Blessings,

Karen
