My husband has recently come home fussing and throwing things. He is using words and saying things that he has never before said. I am very worried about him. He is a Christian and a Deacon. Please Pray for him and for us. :cry: I love him with all my heart. My children are scared to talk to him because of his anger. They have always been able to play and kid around with him, and he has always done that with them. What happened to my wonderful,funloving, bible teaching, bible reading, husband? This man can quote bible verses left and right. Now he doesn't want to go to church. :cry:
Praying for you and your family. Ouch this is hard...but nothing is too hard for God to handle. Hugs, Brenda
Praying in PA!! Maybe you should ask him what is bothering him maybe it will be something you do not want to hear however knowing is better than abuse!! God loves you!!
If he is a believer, then there is a spiritual battle being waged on him right now. Have you talked to him about this? If so and he is not responding, you might want to enlist the help of someone he looks to for spiritual guidance. Does he have a men's group or accountability partner that he meets with regularly? If so, you might want to clue them in to what has been going on lately. It sounds like he is struggling with something and it is coming out in anger. The Lord wants him to be broken, and don't be afraid to pray for brokeness of spirit--just be prepared to love and support him through the process. Sometimes the more stubborn people need to go through alot of trials before we--oops, I mean they :wink: --give in to what the Lord is wanting from them. Be his cheerleader if you can, and offer mercy to him when he is open and honest with you. If you are unable to be his cheerleader right now, you are wise to enlist the prayer support of other believers. I'll be praying for you! We got through this about a year ago and our marriage and parenting have never been better than they are right now! The other side of trials is spiritual growth--get ready for a blessing!
You, your husband, and your children are in my prayers. Have there been any major changes or stresses in his life lately? Sometimes physical problems or psychological problems also can trigger irritation/tendency to get angry easily. Spiritual warfare is also a possibility. Hang in there and God will reward you for your faithfulness and obedience to Him. blessedmom "Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7
You might also suggest a medical exam. Sometimes a major change in behavior can indicate some physical imbalance. Have those at your church noticed this, too, or is it just at home?
I can't add to what everyone has suggested. It could be a spiritual battle, physical, etc. Please talk to someone, maybe your pastor. Your husband's behavior is a cry for help. I'm praying for him, for you and your family. Blessings,
I know you want to keep your family together and pray tis through, but please don't stay there if you are being abused. You said your children are afraid to talk to him because of his temper and that's a bad sign. No woman, Christian or otherwise, deserves to be hit no matter what kind of 'thing' her husband is going through. Please protect yourself and your kids. I'm not trying to make you feel bad or say prayer won't help here. We give my daughter's outgrown clothes to a domestic abuse shelter. Their newsletter gives me the shivers when I read what some men do to their mates. Your post gave me those same shivers. Please keep us posted.
If you don't mind my asking, did you ever find out what the problem was? I will understand if yuo don't want to tell us. Regardless, am so glad that he's back to normal!
