I hesitate to post this because I know so many people have struggles and hurts in this area...
But I just feel a need to praise the Lord in this area...I post so many prayer requests and almost no praises.
A year ago I asked you all to pray for my marriage. My wife and I were really struggling... Not liking each other very much. Most of it was my fault... I was dealing with a lot of after affects of a pornography addiction I had a few years ago and there are times present where these past images and desires assault me and it accompanies alot of condemnation and I in turn shut my wife out of my life to the point where she feels like she is living with a stranger.
We went to marriage counseling...pretty much every week for several months and infrequently after that.
I just wanted to offer a praise to Jesus for the work HE has done in our marriage. We are actually becoming very close...friends...something I never thought would happen. He is drawing us as much to each other as He is to Himself...
It's been hard....I offer no praise of myself. I am a wretch through and through. He is sufficient though...and faithful.
Like I said...I was hesitant to post this because I know others whose marriages are currently hurting or coming to an end... I know how hurting you are....and will continue to pray for you.
