The wife in this situation was sitting at home night after night watching TV, reading romantic novels, and obsessively pouring over her wedding photos. Besides, if you’re still invested in your marriage, going out in a romantic way with someone else is just going to feel like a forced exercise in futility and that’s not fair to anyone.īut, nothing says that you can’t pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and go out with friends who offer you support. Moving On With Your Life While Still Hoping That Your Marriage Will Be Saved: When I say “move on with your life” I don’t mean immediately going out with anyone of the opposite sex who asks. This can potentially allow you the best of both worlds because you still have hope, but for your own self preservation, you’re allowing yourself the opportunity to get on with your life. I believe that you can begin the process of moving on with your life without needing to give up on your marriage, at least in the beginning. You worry that you’ll turn your back and move on only to wonder what would have happened if you gave it a little more time. When you still love your husband and you still believe in your marriage, the thought of just walking away when there might be a chance to salvage what is left is excruciating. I know exactly where this wife was coming from. What do you think? How long is reasonable to wait until I’m forced to move on with my life?” But in my own mind, I keep thinking that as long as we are not legally divorced, there is still a chance.

We aren’t in regular contact, although we do run into one another sometimes. Neither of us has filed for a divorce but he seems to have moved on with his life. I heard from a wife, who said, in part: “my husband moved out eight months ago. It can be difficult to be patient when you’re seeing no real progress and no end in sight. Many had high hopes in the beginning, but those same hopes are fading fast today. Once His grace has captured our heart, we are given a new song to sing and the awareness of a loving heavenly Father to whom we can humbly bring all of our cares.By: Leslie Cane: I often hear from wives who have long been discouraged about their husband coming back home.

In volume four of this series, Alistair Begg highlights important principles that help Christians live in an unjust world.
In response, James offers us practical help, with an eye toward not becoming Christians so much as behaving as those who have been redeemed “by the word of truth.” Written to scattered believers facing a variety of troubles, the Epistle of James takes as its focus a universally relevant question: How are God’s people to live in God’s world? This side of heaven, trials and tribulations crowd into our lives, confronting us with failure and tears, doubts and disappointments, cries and groanings.
