Marcella and Anthony Woods have been together for 9 years and married for the past year, with five children between them. Both want to save their marriage, but Marcella says Anthony has a drug and alcohol problem, has an issue coming home at night, and refuses to go to counseling to fix their marriage. Anthony, on the other hand, says Marcella needs to stop being so demanding and learn how to shut up, listen, and trust him more. Will divorce court be able to do what counseling can’t?

All of you christians are convenient. You probably have premarital sex, probably eat pork. Did u know ur good book forbids pork? Probably didn’t. Because your pastors don’t teach you anything but the same stories you’ve heard since you were forced to believe the religion. Well, go look at the health laws in Leviticus. So think twice before u cast judgement about who’s a “convenient christian” or not.

The Bible also says don’t drink to the excessive point of being drink, but you’re drunk every day of the week EVEN on the LORD’S day. You can not pick and choose the parts of the Bible you live by when it’s convenient for you. Men love to use the Bible to say a woman should be submissive but they don’t realize that the Bible has all these requirements for MEN in order for the to be submissive

[@yemedemure414]

Unexpected ending. The judge gave that man a dose of conviction that he’s been running from. Truly hope for the best

[@maryannemoll]

As a woman, I can understand her logic. She believes love can change him for the better and she constantly sees signs that encourages her that she will be successful in doing it. Luckily for me, I got old enough to know it doesn’t work that way.

[@MarinaRhymin]

Maryanne Moll Great insight! I think we ladies do that a LOT. We see something good buried in that big, broad chest & we want to bring it out. But like you said, it doesn’t work like that. Took me some pretty colossal mistakes to figure it out, myself.

[@hamtaro6471]

yes, we are naturally nurturing and compassionate, but we can't let that cloud our judgement sometimes or else we'll put ourselves in a situation like this.

[@idalarsen2540]

Oh, I'm so happy I saved myself all that trouble by "always" knowing this (since like before I started getting together with people at age 16+). I don't understand how this is so hard to understand for some people. It's not like I had good rolemodels growing up either. My parents relationship was never exactly one to "look up towards" and replicate either. Still, I managed from early on to have some sense.

Addiction of any kind is a spiritual bondage that can only disappear with DELIVERANCE,counseling and prayers.He is a good brother but alcohol has taken a toll on him.He has a virtuous wife but unfortunately he is blinded and can't see.Pray for their healing and restoration during your prayer time God is able.

[@bryanbeeman5256]

Unfortunately, you married a man that really has more issues that she led others to believe. Plus, she has to acknowledge she made a mistake marrying this guy. Glad she’s trying to make it work, but he has to put in the work to fix the marriage as well. I don’t think he’s in the marriage though.
