seperation and a harden heart/fallen out of love

by dan cooney
(chandler, arizona)

My wife and I(pollie and dan) have been emotionally seperated for several months and physically for three.I have continued to go to christian councling(pollie stoped shortly after accepting jesus) God has been really working in my life and I am so happy to restore my relationship with him. The biggest problem wow were to start......I guess its sin....why else does any marrige fail. Inmaturity,selfcenterness ect. are two that we are both guilty of. I don't know why but I feel God can restore our marrige.....and I think I'am the only one friends family and even one of our councilers say get on with life......but I feel no matter what I must keep wearing my ring and have faith that all things are possible(we've signed no papers yet filled out though). I know that I cannot push for divorce as God does not want that. My wife however? My problem though is the limbofeeling, its just plain hard at times..

Response to "seperation and a harden heart/fallen out of love"
by: Lee Baucom

You are perceptive to note the real problem here is "hardness of heart," Jesus' explanation of why marriages fail. When we harden to forgiving our spouse, it is the beginning of the end.

I would certainly suggest not moving forward legally, as that is not what you believe.

Seek your spouse's forgiveness. As I note in my book, I believe we must strive for continual forgiveness in marriage. So seek and offer forgiveness.

And make a choice today to move forward, working to save your marriage. Set aside your feelings. Feelings often pull us into bad decisions. Feelings are never permanent. We rely on our commitments.

I once heard someone define commitment as what you do when you stop feeling like doing it. Marriage often has those moments.

Finally, be clear that God is not ambivalent about marriage. God blessed marriage and calls us to be faithful to both God and our spouse -- the reason we take those vows!

I'd also suggest grabbing my ebook on how to save a Christian marriage. I think you will find it very helpful.

Blessings to you both!
