I have a good friend who is experiencing some very troubling things in her marriage right now.
The two were married last summer, and they are expecting a baby girl in two months. Now her husband is young, but he’s not that young. Unfortunately, he is very immature and this is creating problems. He is very upset because he feels like he has “to be an adult,” by holding a job, handling different responsibilities, staying at home instead of staying at his friends’ places overnight, etc. You can tell he’s often trying to grow and mature, but he nevertheless has times where he does go over to friend’s places for the night or this or that - the biggest problem with this, of course, being that he’s leaving a 5, 6, 7 month pregnant wife at home.
Specifically, this request was prompted by what happened the past two days. My friend had had a doctor’s appointment for the baby scheduled for weeks or months, which the husband had said he’d go to (as you’d expect a husband to do). He later forgot about it (understandably) and made plans with his friends for that day. When she reminded him, he did cancel the plans (the right thing to do), but this had him so upset by the time they got home from the appointment that he went to his parent’s house (they are currently away) and told her he’s going to be staying there for a few days - leaving his pregnant wife home alone.
My friend is obviously suffering a great deal over this, and yet she is handling it in such a beautiful way, still thinking of him and how she can love him better in spite of his behavior. Please pray for the both of them at this time!
Thanks greatly, God bless.
