![]() Pray we learn how to communicate and work together
Pray we learn how to communicate and work together: I just got married 7 months ago to a police officer that is 12 years older than me. I was in a long distance relationship with my husband for 1 and 1/2 years. We got married and I moved to live in his home state. I am away from all of my family and friends. Before I met my husband, I took care of my father for 4 years, he passed and I missed him so much. However, my prayers started to come true. I met a man, who loved to travel, who knew the lord, was a family man and seemed to be lots of fun. The distance was hard on him and he wanted to marry me. I don't like change, so the thought of leaving my family, who I am so close to, killed me, but I said I better step out on faith. When I got to my new city, I got a job within months that I like and found a church home. Unfortunately, I also began to learn so much about my husband that I would have known had I lived in the same state with him as we were dating. He is very controlling. I've always been a free going person. Now, I'm finding that my husband likes to tell me how to dress, where to go and not go, who to hang with and its driving me crazy. He has a daughter that is 18 and he treats me like I'm another child, not his wife. He hates when I go to my hometown and discourages it. We don't know how to communicate. When we don't agree on something it turns into a full out battle, where we get loud and say hurtful things. This happens like every other day. None of this is in my character. I'm questioning why I got married. Was this in God's plan for my life? Was God giving me signs and I just didn't follow them? Now, what do I do? I don't have any friends in this new state, all my husband and I do is fight and I'm tired. My mom says for me to get a divorce and move back to my home state. I'm only 30 so; I have my whole life ahead of me. But, on the flip side, I love my husband and don't know why he can't just love me for me and support my dreams. I want to have a family, but scared that if we can't get along it will affect my children and I didn't grow up in a broken home and I don't want my children to either. I need serious prayer. God please tell me clearly what to do and how to do it? I need you God!!! |
