It sounds to me like you have the answer to your dilemma at your fingertips, but you're looking in the wrong place.

BINGO! Another freeper hits the nail on the head. I'm having a very difficult time trusting God again. It's a long story, but my faith went through the wringer during this whole thing. It's almost like it's not just about my marriage, but a battle for my soul. I pray every night to stand firm in my faith. One thing for sure, if I get through this standing, I will have great compassion for others when they are standing on shifting sand. 8 * )

"I'm having a very difficult time trusting God again."

If that's the case, then you have placed yourself and your husband in a no win situation. If you can't trust your Creator, then you have no basis to trust yourself. Your marital demand has been that your husband turn himself completely over to God.......but now you're saying it's a God you don't trust. So even if your husband meets your demands, you will have no basis to trust him either. It sounds to me like you have clearly defined your problem, and it doesn't originate with the marriage. Perhaps you need to ask yourself if it's really God that you don't trust or if you simply don't trust your own willingness or ability to hear Him.
