Dare:
Find a marriage mentor - someone who is a strong Christian and who will be honest and loving with me. If I feel that counseling is needed, then take the first step to set up an appontment. During this process, ask God to direct my decisions and discernment.
Well, this is honestly tough for me. I have no problem telling others what I do that's wrong, but I hate to say anything to anyone else about David. Early in our marriage David used to tell his mom about me and it really tainted our relationship and created some big problems I don't ever want to be the cause of any relationship problems for David. So, it's tough. I've spent my life keeping it in. Not that there is much to complain about as far as David is concerned. But is this about that? No, I guess it's not. Accountability would be about what I'm doing, not David.
So, now the issue for me is, I've always had a hard time talking to people about my problems. I honestly don't think they want to hear it. I've also always had lots of friends who tend to be talkers and dominate the conversations (not the best friends I've ever had). I do have a couple of friends that honestly listen to me without interrupting me to tell me about their situation. Their marriages aren't necessarily stronger than mine but I think I would have a hard time finding someone whose marriage is stronger that I could talk to. Okay, I'll pray about this for the right person.
Result:
No results yet - gotta get more serious about my praying. There are so many distractions that pull my time away. Prayer has got to be more of a priority. I will be seeing a lot of godly people today - I pray God points out the right person to me.
