I am now married to a man who was also a widow. I thought we could have a good life together. I own my own business & am financially independent. We live in my house, I have continued to pay all the household bills like I did before I was married . He rents his house out. The thing that I have a problem with is that he gives me about $200 a week toward bills & buys a few groceries. His income is $120,000 a year. Mine is less than half of that. I don't have any money left over to put into a savings account or my retirement. I have to pay for all the upkeep on the house, taxes, insurance,ect. My mortgage alone is $1200 a month. He doesn'y feel that he should help any more than that because my house was refinanced to consolidate some bills when my first husband died. I do all the cooking and cleaning & have to pay someone to do a lot of the maintenance. The only way I can get him to help is to threaten divorce. He has got mad and left me 6 times and the last time, I asked him to leave. After he's gone a day or so he starts begging to come back, saying he will do anything it takes. I get panicky and let him come back and then routine just starts all over again. I am now wondering if God is somehow punishing me because I had married a man about 2 years after my husband died . He was good to me helped me out witheverything I divorced him because he didn't make as much money as my former husband had. I don't know what I was thinking, I just thought that I would have it so much easier if I had someone with an income like my first husband. I realize that money is not everything & I am suffering terrible emotional stress because of this. My husband now is verbally mean & also impotent. I just want to do the right thing. I don't know how long I can stand this. I feel like a used rug that he is wiping his feet on. I am a 57 year old female who was left a widow after 27 years of marriage.

After asking God many times for a bigger picture of how Christ loved the church, I began to get the picture some years ago. I was surprised to see Christ as a pregnant woman. Yet soon it began to make sense. As soon as Jesus entered the temple to be about His Father's business, he began the work of preparing to bear the church in his womb.As he grew in grace, wisdom, stature and learned obedience through what he suffered, we see love, patience, long suffering and all of the fruits of the Spirit being born in Him. After being filled with the Holy Spirit, we see Jesus face the temptation to depart from the bride he was working hard to birth. We see the patience of the bridegroom as Jesus dealt with the twelve disciples and served them rather than serve Himself. We see Jesus standing up for his bride as he continues to be one with the Father to be one with the bride soon to be born. Finally he said, "It is finished," went into hell and defeated death, hell and the grave, rescinded the old covenant and ratified the new covenant to set the bride free to be a joint heir and not feel kept at arms length, or less than. To top it off, before ascending back to heaven he promised power to over come, that he would send another to lead and guide unto all truth and comfort, and that he would never leave the bride. Now that's what I call the love of a groom for a bride. Rev. David Hammock President & CEO Revivals For America, INc. Raleigh, NC April7, 2009 On the role of a husband…

After asking God many times for a bigger picture of how Christ loved the church, I began to get the picture some years ago. I was surprised to see Christ as a pregnant woman. Yet soon it began to make sense.

As soon as Jesus entered the temple to be about His Father’s business, he began the work of preparing to bear the church in his womb.As he grew in grace, wisdom, stature and learned obedience through what he suffered, we see love, patience, long suffering and all of the fruits of the Spirit being born in Him.

After being filled with the Holy Spirit, we see Jesus face the temptation to depart from the bride he was working hard to birth.

We see the patience of the bridegroom as Jesus dealt with the twelve disciples and served them rather than serve Himself.

We see Jesus standing up for his bride as he continues to be one with the Father to be one with the bride soon to be born.

Finally he said, “It is finished,” went into hell and defeated death, hell and the grave, rescinded the old covenant and ratified the new covenant to set the bride free to be a joint heir and not feel kept at arms length, or less than.

To top it off, before ascending back to heaven he promised power to over come, that he would send another to lead and guide unto all truth and comfort, and that he would never leave the bride.

Now that’s what I call the love of a groom for a bride.
