<p></p> Restoring My Relationship: Should I give up?tag:www.allaboutgod.net,2017-04-28:1383940:Topic:17311042017-04-28T00:36:14.523ZMaddiehttp://www.allaboutgod.net/profile/Maddie
Hello, I'd just like to start off by saying that God is good. He has lifted me in every possible way that could be imagined, even when I feel like there's no way out.<br />
<br />
I was with my boyfriend for almost two years. He and his family were the ones that had lead me to God in the first place, and they play a huge role as to why I'm not baptized and so far along in my relationship.

Hello, I'd just like to start off by saying that God is good. He has lifted me in every possible way that could be imagined, even when I feel like there's no way out.<br />
<br />
I was with my boyfriend for almost two years. He and his family were the ones that had lead me to God in the first place, and they play a huge role as to why I'm not baptized and so far along in my relationship. My (now ex) boyfriend had taken the initiative to join the U.S. Army and become a reservist. He joined the reserves so he could stay with me as I finished my high school here in our home town. He joined the military because he felt that he had nothing else to do that would be good for him. He absolutely loves the Army now, and when he's in that environment he strives for the better.<br />
<br />
A little after he got home from boot camp he found himself growing unhappy because he didn't like where he was in life. He started self medicating and now is going down a deep and dark path of alcoholism. He was my best friend. He was on the rocks about making the decision to really be with me forever or not, and we had broken up to give him space to really think about what he wanted to do.<br />
<br />
He came to the conclusion that he wanted to be with me. He was so happy and so was I. We both just devoted ourselves to each other so much to the point that we strayed from God. Our relationship no longer had God in it and we didn't even realize it because we were always too busy trying to fix things. We started fighting, and not being as happy as we were. We lost it all.<br />
<br />
Soon enough he just gave up on me and left me without an explanation. He dropped me like it was nothing to him and ever since then has been drinking alcohol every single night so I can't even talk to him without fighting with him because he's too drunk. He's been doing horrible things and hanging out with the wrong people and just hurting himself so badly. He's pushed away everyone who cares deeply about him.<br />
<br />
If you ask him if he has God in his life and if he's happy he will tell you yes. He thinks he knows everything and has it all together. He has pushed me so far away to where he just ignores me now. 12 days ago I was his entire world, and after one of our fights he just dropped me and won't even talk to me anymore. I'm so heartbroken because I know this isn't the man I've been with for the past two years. I don't know what to do.<br />
<br />
He tells me that he never wants a relationship with anyone ever again and doesn't even want a family anymore. He wants to be alone. He tells me "I have my boys (as in friends) and that's all I need". I've been praying to God but honestly just haven't found myself finding any answers. I still strongly believe that he's the one for me, and not because he's my first love or I'm young or anything, but i've given this more than enough thought and prayer and I feel that he's the man God wants me to be with. He's lost himself, this isn't who he is. He really seems like he's done, but I don't know what to think. I want to restore our relationship and do it with God too. I want us to be happy and together and make this work. The only dilemma is my (now ex) boyfriend is trying to switch to active duty as soon as possible. So he will be leaving our home town in about 5-6 months. I'm not entirely sure on how to restore a relationship using God, and how do I know this relationship is one He wants me to restore? Do I just give up? Or is there still hope? Any help, or prayers would be greatly appreciated in so many ways. What would you do in this situation...?tag:www.allaboutgod.net,2016-06-28:1383940:Topic:17049552016-06-28T08:56:56.041ZJess Mhttp://www.allaboutgod.net/profile/JessM
<p>You and your family are let's say are african you live in an area which is made mostly whites. Your family are middle class, and you child attends a school which also is made of mostly whites and lacks multiculturalism. The students, teacher and staff are quite racist. You do not have enough money to move your child to another school and your child is always complaining. Also you have spoken with your child's principal but this hasn't solved the issue that much.</p>

<p>If it would be okay I'd like to share a couple sites that I put together (just a hobby) for my wife. Back in 2001 my wife lost a daughter to the tragedy of a Drug OD that was given to her by a so called friend. In 2002 she began a quest to reach others that also so lost a loved one to Addiction. In 2004 she lost another daughter to an OD, we believe because she could no longer bare the loss of her sister. My wife has since has gain a passion for Domestic Violence...etc. Below I am posting the sites if anyone would care to view.</p>

<p>I heard of the view that you should stay away from toxic friendships. Firstly I think we to define what a toxic friend is.... But that is not exactly what is prompting my question. My question is kinda related. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Where in the Bible does it say it is good to remove people from your life if they disagree with your views? Where in the Bible does it say that if a person's depressions begins to effect you, that it is ok to remove that person?</p>

Pastor was preaching about men needing to come back in to taking a leadership role in the home. That it should be the man up for church on Sunday telling the family we're going to church rather than the women trying to get husbands to go with them and ultimately going alone. The whole topic was on men leading in homes, church, community, etc. Then he mentions the standard submission statement but he put a bit of a distinction on it I'd never heard and I'm wondering if anyone ever heard it…

<br />
I can't do a word for word but he quoted Scripture of two or more being in agreement and was indicating that submission was more in line with "sub"-"mission". Just as he operates under the same view and mission of our Bishop, he was saying husbands and wives have a mission/vision that should mirror one another's. That submission should be helping to fulfill the mission/vision of the household. Still a baby in Christ?tag:www.allaboutgod.net,2015-12-17:1383940:Topic:16722102015-12-17T11:21:13.143ZVirginiahttp://www.allaboutgod.net/profile/Virginia
<p>After nearly 5 years in the faith I still feel like a baby in Christ. Five years might not be a long time, I've had my ups and downs, my obvious struggles with sin like many Christians but I am still in the faith.</p>
<p>I continue attending Catholic mass. Although I am not a Catholic, I do not want to go to one church and my husband and daughters to go to another, I did in the past and it only caused separation and troubles at home (sure the Lord does not want that??). After all these…</p>
<p>After nearly 5 years in the faith I still feel like a baby in Christ. Five years might not be a long time, I've had my ups and downs, my obvious struggles with sin like many Christians but I am still in the faith.</p>
<p>I continue attending Catholic mass. Although I am not a Catholic, I do not want to go to one church and my husband and daughters to go to another, I did in the past and it only caused separation and troubles at home (sure the Lord does not want that??). After all these years, I have come to the conclusion that it is better for the family to be united, I hope not to be wrong.</p>
<p>Now, my girls are 4 and 6 years old, they attend an Anglican school in London. My husband does not spend time talking about God with them and they have many questions. Unfortunately, although I know what I believe, it is difficult for me to teach my daughters in a way they'll understand, all I do for now, is pray for them to find the truth.</p>
<p>I have recently bought a catechism for children book that I hope helps me to start some kind of Bible study with them.</p>
<p>I have a Bible for children at home that we read before bed and I know they believe and enjoy the Lord! </p>
<p>I wish my husband did what I am planning to do, as the head of the family, however, due to the our different beliefs, I do not know the impact they will have on my children (not too worried, I know God will do what He has to do).</p>
<p>Just random thoughts...</p>

<p>Stay blessed.</p>

<p>I need some advice….I am married to a man that believes in God but due to his experiences in life he has no faith in Him. I know in my heart and soul that this man and I are spiritually connected, brought into each others life by God, he doesn't want me to talk to him about God, and claims that something other than God has control of his death, how do I handle this situation?</p>

I know when my husband comes along then God will let me know, but could he be someone I am not attracted to?<br />
<br />
Or more importantly what is attraction in a Godly marriage?
