Bible Discussion Thread

Please pray for me. My wife does not respect me and is constantly cursing and fighting me and making accusations, railing and throwing things, and making threats. I am so tired of this. I just want to have a normal day. She has "ocd" but does not follow her own "ocd" habits. She only wants me to follow them because it makes her feel more comfortable with not worrying about them. She needs professional help but does not want to spend money on it, she needs to read the Bible but thinks it is "boring". She sits around and watches Taylor Swift videos and has an abnormal interest in the topic of divorce on her drama shows. I am so sick of this.. she does not trust me, and I am constantly trying to show her that I am the man and she is the woman.. and that she needs to go to Jesus about her complaints and listen to me. She refuses because she believes I will hurt her if she subjects herself to me. Please pray for me.

Hi F , it sounds as if , for some reason your wife does not trust you . Maybe you did or said something that's hurt her feelings and she can't get past it ? You two have to get to the root cause of her attitude towards you . Sometimes we do or say something and don't realise what effect it has had on some one else . Or , it could just be all in her mind , maybe you didn't do or say anything but she thinks that you did ? Communication and trust are essential in every relationship . The only way you two are going to sort this is by talking and , more importantly listening to each other . Next time your wife is telling you how she feels , even if she is shouting , listen to what she is actually saying and try to talk to her about her feelings , if she is still trying to communicate with you , even by shouting , that's something good . It's when people don't communicate that relationships are in big trouble because this means that they just don't care any more . Listen to her complaints and try to address each one calmly , she is shouting because she wants you to hear her ! I hope the two of you can sort this out , for the moment she needs to know that you are listening to her , her relationship with God is something that can be worked on , by both of you , when you have sorted your relationship with each other . You are her husband , how can she believe that God loves her and hears her if she can't see that her own husband loves her and hears her ?

I will "F". I have been praying for you since you brought his need to us a few weeks ago. I am so sorry that your relationship is so seriously difficult now. May God intervene and miraculously change what needs to be changed inn each of you.
