Yes, I agree. I was in a relationship in High School and University that lasted four years. 17 years later I had still not gotten over it. Deliverance prayers healed me for good. A year later I met my wife.
Yes. Such wise advice from you and andree. Exorcists refer to these as "soul ties" and they can be a real problem in trying to move forward spiritually. Fr Hampsh has a prayer for inner healing that speaks of soul ties in the list. Fr Ripperger's book of deliverance prayers has some good renunciation prayers as well.
"The state of marriage is one that requires more virtue and constancy than any other; it is a perpetual exercise in mortification” - Saint Francis de Sales I saw this on the church bulletin of St. Francis de Sales Church.
I think the Lord has built into us that opposites attract; in the long run, our spouses are a means by which each of us can act sacrificially since the way my beloved responds to situations and/or a crisis can prove to be irritating. In the end it is the tool for our individual sanctification and the mortification of our pride! In the long run, Geralyn's practical wisdom has proven to be one more pearl of great price. Holy Family, pray for us!
Yes, Mario, you have spoken truth. My husband and I are opposites, too. But the pearl is formed in the oyster when an irritant is added.
Thanks for your prayers guys. Although I still feel anger at times, I feel that things might be different after the warning. Everything broke apart because she misunderstood me. Maybe it’s a stupid hope. I dunno.
That’s been my hope too. In my mind it’s becoming a false hope. I’m not convinced we’ll see it in our lifetime anymore, if at all, but I’ll be pleasantly surprised if we do.
