I need help. I am normally a spiritually wise person, but my situation with my wife has me unable to function.
I got married nearly a year ago to a woman I didnt love in the way the "world" would define. I "thought" I was making a spiritual decison and married her on faith, and figured the "love" would flood in afterwards. (I know, some may already think Im crazy). But anyway, she seemed extremely loving and sweet, if not a bit emotional and needy. but she seemed to want to seek God, so I figured all would be ok.
Well, since then, our ability to communicate is non-existant. She is always on the defensive, no matter what, it's all about her, her feelings matter and mine dont, but she gets angry if I try to imply that. I try to be understanding of her emotional insecurites, etc. I have them also, but I know I am the man and must be strong and love her. But quite frankly, she drives me insane, I can barley stand her. I would never do it, but most times I wish I could just put a gun to my head. Thats how bad it is. I know this sounds like a cliche' but its like trying to communicate with a brick wall. I am sure I am guilty also. But this should not be happening, should it? should I have waited to "love her" more in the emotional, wordly sense? was I excersising spiritual ignorance thinking I was doing right? I could just get a divorce, but that is quitting. satan attacking us may mean, this is meant to be. Or, I could be backwards there to. Must you stand by a vow, even if that vow was never meant to be taken? I am confused. I am used to being on top of spiritual issues in my life. This has me very messed up. I hate to go home after work. My wife is upset with me because she thihnks if she is happy, I should be also! so she makes me miserable. If you heard her tell it though, I am the one with all the problems, I may not be perfect, be she has a serious problem with not being accountable. I may be a bit too accountable.
ultimately, I want what God wants .... I have no clue how to get there concerning this situation.
