Many years ago I was led to watching Joyce Meyer on television by my dead father. The television would go on at 5am on Thursdays. When I finally decided to go and see what was on the television at the time I found Joyce Meyer's show. In life I don't think my father knew who she was but I think he figured I would learn from her. After I started watching her regularly the television stopped coming on by itself.
Joyce Meyer Ministries has a prayer group going on regularly. I have been posting on their Twitter feed to pray for my marriage. They respond to all messages. Yesterday they responded that they are praying for me and sent me the link at the bottom of the page.
If you don't have time to watch both videos, at least read the text. I wish my husband cared enough to watch these types of videos or read the information. There are a couple of quotes from the video that I wrote down that I found enlightening. I have been married twice and feel I made the same mistake twice. Joyce said we make the same mistakes because we have a desperate need to be loved. Yup. I agree.
She also said she was protecting herself by expecting the worst thing to happen. She was afraid to hope. Yup again.
I stopped watching Joyce Meyer, stopped making time to watch her but occasionally go to her website and watch a few episodes of her show. But it is so hard for me to work on the marriage when the other half of this marriage isn't making an effort. I guess I have to go back to the 'be wonderful and he will react in kind' type of attitude. It's a lot of work and takes a long time to see results. I'm so frustrated.
I hope you check out the link. It's very enlightening.

I think you have your answer and just don't want to accept it. Many times with marriages or any relationship one will give up, and the other clings onto what use to be.

I know. I will not, however, give up on my marriage. I already had one failed marriage, one that sure never have happened. I don't like to think that I made the same mistake twice, though I know I probably did, so it goes back to CHOOSING to love someone.

@patgalca But then we have to think of happiness and ourselves. I mean we can cling onto something but in the end will it make a difference. Its not the fact you made a mistake to marry that person. At the time this is what made you happy. But people change, and grow whereas others don't. It's whether they want to grow with you and in some cases they don't.

I hope something good happens for you. I discovered Joyce Meyer through my late mother many years ago. She's a great speaker and a lot of what she comes out with really makes a lot of sense!
