I want to stay married, I'm just happy I'm not overwhelmed living over there. Even though I love him and miss him I'm happier here but he wants to stay over there. Even if I dont want to. I dont know what God has planned for us. I know his family is looking at me like I'm a bad wife for not being by my husband's side but I've tried talking to him and know its to the point where the t.v. comes before fixing the marriage. So that's why I'm here. Now he can watch all the t.v. he wants without me being there. It's only been a month since I left and nothing has really improved. I just feel that he's getting bad ideas and being more stubborn because of his family. I pray that one day we can be alone again like we use to. Sometimes having family around isn't the best thing at certain times of your marriage. Mine is in California, while his is in Texas.

I have attended a couple of churches like you describe...... more interested in if members tithe than in helping them. It always bothered me. Jesus served others and asked for nothing in return..... he commanded Peter to "feed his sheep" not to collect their money......I could go on, but it always bothered me when I have been at churches that refuse to help or offer services to anyone unless that person is a "tithing member."
I'll keep you in my prayers.
