Is there anything that makes it difficult to hope for a better future in your marriage? How do you think you can let go of this?

My spouse and I have been married and together for 33 years, in 2022 on the weekend of his retirement, I found out that he was having a six year love affair. In faith I am trying to forgive him but it is made worse, by our now adult children, in the healing process due to their trauma of the situation. They will not have any dialogue with their dad and struggle with my decision to try to heal our marriage.

We have been married 20 years and 11 months. When he was working I had so much time on my hands to do a lot of stuff. Talents and volunteers. Then he retired. We worked as a team, still had differences but have learned to work them out together. Have had family interference a lot. But I realized I was making that situation worse by doing anything for everyone and didn’t learn to let go and let them do their own. I can see where my husband has stood by my decisions even if he didn’t agree. He also kept telling me to let go of what wasn’t mine to own. Then COVID came and let my business down and everything I had worked hard for. Then had to give up on something I had no control over. Then 5 years ago my husband got cancer. Trust me I wrote a lot of letters to my husband and God. There is power in writing when you feel you don’t have a voice. It took some work on my part to stay in control. My husband didn’t want everyone dependent on me and on the other hand, he has been dependent on me and always says he is sorry. Without God, we would have never made it this far. I have seen a total change in my husband in his walk with God. From not going to church with me and for the past I believe 18 years he has been faithful in going to church with me. In the toughest of times and not we always have to hope. Letting go of what was meant not to control.

What tends to be your goal in a conflict with your spouse? Has anything in this lesson changed your perspective on conflict?
-
I am not an augmentative person; my goal was to resolve the conflict in a logical manner buy I just learned that I must also be concerned about my wife’s feelings as well. A perspective that I missed for years.
-
I would like to have conflict resolution in my marriage (still waiting/not married now but in the future would like to be) I like the listing that were mentioned in the lesson, these are the things I will bring to my marriage.
-
Real examination of myself shows my goal is to show that my way or feelings about a particular issue is right or better than his. I know I sometimes must crush his spirit and now having the question in my mind “does my interaction with my husband make him feel closer to God, more empowered and encouraged” the answer is and embarrasing “no”. I’m convicted and shame of myself but hopeful that through this lesson I can change the way I handle conflict so we both can grow in our relationship with Jesus and with each other.
-
Sorry, that post didn’t come out right. My husband is not a Christian. He tends to have explosive anger. God has made it better but I just wanted to never happen again it’s very traumatic when he does it. And all I do is avoid him for a while.
