Need some advice please

My husband and I are in what looks like a failing marriage. He can’t seem to admit it. Things are rocky atm. Avoiding one another doing things separately no communication. He on one hand has tried to make little efforts here and there. I have made zero. Since I can see it’s falling apart. I don’t want to mislead. He’s lying right next to me he hasn’t said much all day. I don’t have another place to sleep in the apartment we are in. What would you do? I’m craving hugging him but I’m also not wanting to since last night first time he shouted at me really badly and other things have happened where I have zero trust left anymore. Seems like we both don’t see a future forward more towards his side as I’ve constantly put the efforts in and made the relationship work. Sacrificing and compromising .. should I hug him? I thin k I just need a hug I don’t want to make up with him I just need a hug from anyone right now

You said I don't want to make up with him, I just need a hug from [i]anyone[/i] right now. What you said was an honest feeling but if you hug him now wouldn't it be like a lie? I wouldn't do it unless you felt it because that's like leading him on and dishonest. But there's a flipside to that coin... it's also a place to start. He's probably hurting pretty bad right now, as well, and I bet he would love a hug. So in that case, I see nothing wrong with it. I think he would appreciate the first move. There's no room for pride here. Forgiveness is such a healing thing. And God says to forgive.

Communication is key. It's not too late. I think the marriage is savable, myself, but it will take both of you working at it. I hope you'll think about counseling for both of you together. And if he won't go, then I think you should go and get a different perspective on what you could do to improve this situation. Sometimes we can't see clearly when we're right in the middle of things and other ideas can be a plus. I can think of many things you could do to restore your marriage and light that fire again. This is a matter that needs to be thought through very carefully, because it's not only you two that would be divorcing, this wouldn't include how it affects both of your families and children and so many more things.

Relationship problems are hardly a rarity that have resulted in divorce, broken homes, mental issues, children growing up with self esteem problems and more. All are affected in one way or another, and not just for a few days, but for years to come. It changes everything.

Satan’s job has always been to steal to kill and destroy and distorting the image of what marriage really is. Most marriage vows made between couples are just meaningless or not taken with the seriousness that they deserve. The good news is that Jesus can restore your marriage and every area of your life.

[i]Fireproof[/i] may be one of the best movies I could recommend to you. This movie tells the story of a young couple, Caleb and Catherine that are on the verge of a divorce after a number of years of marriage. Caleb seems so absorbed in his career as a fireman and selfish ambitions that he neglects to take good care of Catherine.

Catherine on the other hand, spends a lot of time at her job as well and puts herself in a position of compromise in the midst of their marital problems. Their marriage seems headed towards divorce as they hit a point of no return. That is until Caleb’s dad intercepts and takes his son Caleb through a journey that could transform their marriage.

Do you find yourself in a similar position today? A lot of relationship questions may be running through your mind to which you have no answer to. The answers to those questions are found in the Word of God. A relationship or marriage centred on God will survive any fire or storm that comes its way.

This is a movie that I highly recommend because it will change your life. I hope1 you will watch the whole movie. Healthy relationships are still possible in this crazy world that we live in today even though the enemy has lied to us to cause to think otherwise. Remember his main objective is to steal, kill and destroy, but Jesus came to give you life in abundance. I believe it is worth watching this movie. In what little time it takes to watch this movie, the effects could change your whole life for the better, so I think it's well worth your time. I believe you can make your marriage so happy again. I believe you can rekindle that spark that made you want to marry each other in the first place. Nothing is impossible with God. You can watch it on Netflix. It has saved many a marriage, I know that.
