Had a Hand-of-God long moment today. Got the Big Message: 'Heal Thy Marriage'. Still on her to stand up, but the experience today, for me, was life-changing. Yes, I ask again, VJ Brethren, pray.

We've had a rough year, finally together, and we've filed for divorce. I don't want the divorce, she does. [i'm the USC]

Yes, I filed as the divorce petitioner, after being badgered for 5 months to do so...

However, I could use your prayers tonight, that she has some 'turn-around' and decides to keep the marriage, stay in the marriage.

Not asking for questions (cause if I answer them I'm gonna be an emotional wreck) , just your prayers. Thanks, fellas !

I'm not always good at it myself...but sweet talks, hugs, and kisses go along way with woman.

So far lots of good prayers have been sent towards your way...and I'm sure more are coming.

Best of luck...and keep us posted on good turnaround!

Darnell,

I hardly ever log into VJ nowadays as I've now completed my 4-year journey from CR-1 through to citizenship this year. I remember you from way back when I first joined the VJ community being completely 'green' and you were already a 'seasoned' long time member helping other people and always being the voice of reason.

I'm extremely sorry to hear about your situation. Can't comment much as I don't know your story, but you definitely have my prayers and all of my positive energy for the best and happiest possible resolution of this crisis. Keep your chin up and hopefully your wife will change her mind now or down the line and your marriage will not end in divorce. Keep us posted!

Had a Hand-of-God long moment today. Got the Big Message: 'Heal Thy Marriage'.

Still on her to stand up, but the experience today, for me, was life-changing.

Yes, I ask again, VJ Brethren, pray. Pray more, is new development.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Darnell~

Lifting you and your family up in prayer. Nobody is immuned to familial problems. You have been a constant supporter here on VJ. Alot of people think once our SO gets here all problems end. Not true, in fact I think the differences are even more prominent when we are not from the same country.

You are in my prayers good sir. Stay strong and remember we are here for you.

Big hugs.
