My marriage.

I am married to a good man. And things are going better for us than they have been since we've been married, so now, with slightly less emergencies taking up all my thought, I'd like to do a little concentrating on my marriage. I am not entirely satisfied. Maybe I should be, but I'm not. My husband has lied to me and abused me so often in the past ( although not in a while) that I just don't trust him and I am not happy. Understand, he has a really good heart, and he is very smart and works REALLY hard to keep us afloat. He is just like a child in some ways. He lies to me because he doesn't want me to be mad. He occasionally throws temper tantrums. It is in times of stress and emotion that he turns into a child, and not actually all that often, but these things have left a mark on our relationship, and my respect for him. I would like to respect him again, and often he gives me reason, but it is always overshodowed by the suspicion that this is just temporary. And we are not very close. We're used to each other, he works a lot, and the kids are usually home when he is. We are not moving forward as far as I can tell, and I really don't know how. I don't expect to feel about him the way I did when I was a teenager ( although it would be nice) I know to much now. I've been through too much. But it ought to be replaced by something as good. I am assuming that God wants us to be together. We've survived this long. (8 years of marriage, 5 years of dating before that) But I am missing something. I'm not even sure what. Sometimes other guys flirt with me, not often, but when they do, and I remember my husband used to act interested, It makes me mad. This is an unpleasant slump. But I am only human and don't know how to fix it. Please pray that God will help us fix it.

Father I pray for this couple. If they both do not know you as their Lord and Saviour, please bring them to that place. Bring them to the place of repentance also Father. Show them that a lie no matter how small is wrong. Father heal this marriage, restore the joy back into this family. In the name of Jesus. AMEN
