How can you forget your married? My wife never lets me forget:chair
 
I used to be a angry person. I cursed traffic hard I hated traffic, i even smashed my car dash waiting in traffic once I was so peeved off. But then I read the New Testament and as soon as I read the Gospel I suddenly changed personality and become all chill. Now I'm like chill as, I would seriously be one of the most relaxed humble drivers on the road now. I'm a changed road man.
I remember once when I was praying for a particular area in my life that I struggled with. As I was praying and talking to God about this he said to me "Bill I don't want to deal with that, I want to deal with something else"

So I asked what? He said Your irritability. I said "I'm not an irritable person, he said yes you are and you have just shown it by your irritable response"

So I said sorry and asked him to show me areas. The first area was how I acted when I was driving. "You get very irritated when someone who should let you through and doesn't, you are sarcastic when they pass you and you call them an idiot and at times something worse, you speed up your car when someone is in the wrong filter lane and then you speed up when they try to cut you up so they can't, that's actually dangerous yet you still call them rude names, basically Bill your an irritable person" (side note if someone was in my car I wouldn't act like that, so know that our private sins will surely find us out)

So I said "Ok God any other areas?" Turns out there was, God took it a deeper level, he revealed to me that my facial gestures and tone of voice when interacting with people was irritable.

I said sorry and asked God to help me and he is true to his name in helping me deal with this. I now get it right more times than not and when I don't get it right I know I don't. I acknowledge it and he says "Keep going at it, good thing is you now know it and we can deal with it"

Notice the "We can deal with it"

I like you Wrg. I'll bet you and your wife get along really well !

Thanks for your kind words.

Not sure why you like me, not sure why anyone likes me (not phishing)

Our road to marriage was very stressful due to my emotional issues. I actually broke up with her (and she still brings it up in a jokey way when we come alongside others) funny thing is I knew that I loved her even though my emotions dictated otherwise. In fact we both had dreams about marrying each other. Whenever I got close to a relationship with a girl I broke it off straight away. In fact I would not let anyone get close to me and vice versa.

But do you know what, when God started to break my barriers and I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this beautiful lady my emotions started to come into line. My beautiful wife stuck with me through this process.

I'm so thankful to God that he has given me a wife, whom he knew I needed and whilst I don't get it my wife says the same, she says she is thankful that God has given me the husband I needed.

We have very different backgrounds. She was bought up in a loving Christian family, me? My upbringing was quite frankly shocking and I would not wish it on my worst enemy.

Yes we get on really well because we love each other deeply. God has used our experiences of growing up to release us. My wife tells me that I have helped her so much in understanding loving those that are in the position I was as she had never experienced a rough diamond like me. I tell her that she has helped me so much because she has loved me where I was. Just like God does.

God gave me Tori and God gave Tori Bill. He knew who we both needed. He is good.

I've said before in a previous topic. Husbands love your wife like Christ loves the church, honour your wife, work with her and consider her in every way you work.

When we do that then us husbands can be "kind of nice too"

Ps W, some of your responses to my previous posts have lifted me and assured me. Precious daughter of our Father.
