I still believe this, even more strongly now.
Whatever decision you make, you'll know it's the right one and truly from God when you get THAT feeling, you'll know what I'm talking about!!
Take care, keep communicating with Him and it'll work out to your advantage in the end, no matter where you end up!

I agree. Neither of us know if it is better if we go or stay, ior even go somewhere else. Rationally it is a serious problem. But I do belive that in the end it does not matter, and I am happy to go along with however the Lord commands.

For those who do believe in god then i think its a bit harsh for you to say that because someone marriage breaks down then its because they have lost their faith, i don't think the two are inextricably linked at all, indeed someones faith may see them though the dark days of a break up.

Re: Marriage failed
If we were having a discussion about religion and you tell me your beliefs, you are not forcing your beliefs on me. If we are discussing a world event and you reference your faith, you are not forcing your beliefs on me. BUT if I say that I believe something and you tell me that your way is the only way to believe and that I should change my view, you are forcing your belief on me.
Further, if I try to end the discussion and say I am not comfortable with the discussion or I just do not wish to go further with it and you pursue it, you are forcing your beliefs on me.
If you are expressing what religion has done for you simply because you wish to rejoice in that fact, that is fine. But if you are doing it so that I will be open to the same experience, and I let it be known that I do not want that, yet you continue, you are forcing your beliefs on me.
I don't think saying "Don't force your beliefs on me" is forcing your beliefs on the other person at all. It's just acknowledging that the discussion is not going to end with anyone changing their beliefs and it is best to end the discussion now.
Alternately.... TAKE YOUR SOAP BOX ELSEWHERE!

Re: Marriage failed
This thread has turned onto the subject of religion which is off-topic for the OP. It is not relevant to the thread and for that reason I'm closing this thread.
If you want to discussion religion, please go to the Lounge or Take It Outside forums.
Thank you.
