CONSIDER PRAYERFULLY: 1/1 or couple Christian counseling, Bible Study, & Christian church supporting your marriage.
When Paul says, “husbands love your wives as Christ loved the Church” (Ephesians 5:25), he is categorically prohibiting every attitude or behavior that results in a husband devaluing, humiliating, belittling, or emotionally or physically wounding his wife.
MONTH #6 (and beyond): CONTINUED GROWTH / PRAYER (couple accountability) / MARRIAGE ACTIVITIES / COUNSELING / ETC.
ALSO: see www.altogetherlovely.org/healing2. Read "Guidelines for Healing". Great advice for ongoing healing. It is alright to continue with someone to pray with & support you. We need support. As you learn to walk with Jesus "DAY BY DAY" AND "MOMENT BY MOMENT" God will show Himself faithful to you. It is a life of faith.
FACT - FAITH - FEELINGS. That's the order. We put our FAITH in the FACT of God’s Word. The FEELINGS will come walking with Him.
