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.
I haven't demanded this of him...I know that that is between him and God and the only thing I can do is pray.

I think my agreement with what is being posted on here shows a willingness to hear him...What is lacking is that trust that "all things work to the good for those who love God." I've lost that peace that surpasses all understanding. In its place is doubt, confusion, and feeling like I lack the ability to get back to where I was. Very hard to explain...

Want to say thanks again for all those of you who are taking the time to discuss a stranger's personal problems. Much of it is confirming what I already knew, but sometimes don't want to accept. "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
