Do you love your God more than you love your spouse and children?

Do you love your God more than you love your spouse and children?

The fork-in-the-road of my marriage occurred when my soon-to-be ex-wife answered yes to that question during our first marriage counseling session. I loved my wife and my step-kids more than anything in my life at the time! That one answer by her changed my entire reality!

v_kay_66--you had me completely! And then I noticed your source. If there is anything that I detest more than the hypocrisy of faith, it is the notion that someone would actually worship evil, or even cite the embodiment of evil for answers.

I was never ables to bring myself to love God more than my husband and kids, despite feeling guilty over it.
It is a command.
I would have to say, I think my husband would say yes, he does love God more than me....but I think in reality, he does not.
That man would walk over hot coals for me...so I do not see his love for God replacing me to be frank.

I look to God in times of need. But I am never certain he is there.

I know my wife is. Does that answer your question?

My love for God, enhances and amplifies all of the other love I give. I think maybe you should seek your own heart as to why your spouses love for God threatens you. If you too love God you will be secure enough to share your love, you will even find that when you are both complete in your love for the beloved that you will truly love each other from a place few couples find anymore. We don't fall out of love if we truly understood what it is to be in love to begin with. My husband has at times felt threatened by my intimacy with Christ, but we have loved through that and become closer. However, I am not here to make him happy or even secure in who he is. I am only able to love him as much as he is a sensitive recipient of the love I send his way. God does not force love on us, that is why it is so irresistable. His love is not interfering but inspirational.

No way! My spouse did more for me than God ever did!

YES, of course!

I've been married for a LONG time, been through two year long separations, and had many counseling sessions. If I hadn't loved God more than I loved my husband, we would not still be married and our lives would not be as full of blessings as they are.

I think that is such a stupid thing to say, and escpecially in front of your husband...in a councelling session! I believe that everyone can have their beliefs but how brainwashed do people have to be......people seek world peace so they pray to "God" which is the reason (religion) a war started in the first place! When have you ever heard of the athesist fighting!

Yes we are commanded to do so, but I cant touch and feel him in my hands and my body as i could with a real woman of flesh and blood.






I AM IN THE PLAYPEN WITH SWEET MILDRED

Without God there would be no you or her children I am sure that is the way she thinks.Allot of people put their families before the creator and lose them in the process(WITH SELF CENTERD SPOUSES SELF CENTERED CHILDREN WITH THEIR DEFINITION OF LOVE IS WHAT DO YOU DO FOR ME ME ME).You cannot worship anything over Him no woman or man should be over God.They cannot live up to it.Love God first then you will know how to love others.He is our example on how to love.how to forgive do you know that when you ask God for forgiveness .THAT HE DOSE NOT EVEN REMEMBER YOUR TRESS PASS? It says he tosses your trespasses in the sea of forgetfulness!!HAVE YOU EVER FORGIVEN SOMEONE TO THE POINT WHERE YOU DO NOT EVEN REMEMBER WHAT THEY DID TO HURT YOU?I doubt it...Wouldn't it be wonderful if we all had a fresh start like that? so what a perfect example of how to love.Most people think they know what love really is and they do not have a clue.To love God is to know God and to know God really know what He is about is the first step to loving you.If you really want to change your entire family Get to know GOD not religion that is mans idea of who and what God is.JUST BECAUSE SHE LOVES GOD MORE IS A FOOLISH REASON BASED ON WHAT YOU DO NOT KNOW ..TRY TO BE MORE OPEN MINDED because God loved you enough to bring love true love not (self centered )love unselfish GOD CENTERED LOVE.Into your little world of me mine and myself.A world that cares if a child is dying a woman that is willing to reach outside of what she wants is a woman that CAN LOVE REALLY LOVE and belive me you do not want a woman who only cares for what intrest her those women wait for you to fill all of their holes .and love you conditionally as long as you do and say what she wants...Think about it.Is that the way you are loveing her??(LOOKS LIKE THAT TO ME) v k 66 you are a perfect example of how non belivers take radical examples of psycos to define what people who love God are like.stick with what you know which is nothing

No as any deity is just a figment of your imagination. Thus to aswer yes to that question would men you are in love with yourself

wow some angry people in here. When you got married your vow was until death do you part. For a believer in God there is no death the time with God transends death. You did not really understand what your wife was saying. If you should ever atempt to look for God you may understand, if you don't you may never understand. I hope for your piece of mind that some day you do. Love is all about understanding and forgivness with out restrictions. So I ask you did you really love her like you thought or did you put restrictions on it.


sj
if i ever could love any person on this earth more than and truly any other person that means its not more than God..and its never after God..its because of God's love I have understood that I love that person so truly


v_kay_666
wow these answers are stupid. Okay, you sir are perfectly correct to have left your wife for answering yes to that question, people who love a so called "god" more then people that actually DO EXIST are insane, those are the kind of people that drown their own children because "god said so" people are such freaks, it is so sad that innocent children die because a non existant spririt that lives solely in a persons misunderstood head is telling them so, familiar with andrea yates? thats a woman who loved god more then her kids, that woman should have been hung on a cross and stoned
