I prayed for a relative to find a husband and God answered that prayer and at one point I was over come with joy now I can hardly wait for this wedding to be over and it will be soon.
I helped plan the shower and give the shower and it was a very overwhelming and stressful experience and none I would want do to over again any time soon.
This couple are godly and they have a lot of money and they are wonderful but while they are enjoying the good life my husand and I are struggling we are relocating and the couple said being we are helping them move we don't have to give them a present and that was nice of them.
IT is just that they are getting so much attention and they are in the "life is wonderful" "I am so in love" but my husband and I are married a long time and we truly know what it is like to BE married and have hardhsip.
Could you just pray I have a right attitude? They deserve a nice wedding but they have not struggled the way we have had to.

Yes I have prayed for you.
Remember Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house.....etc
So first off I forgive you!
Second of all it is unwise to compare yourselves amongst each other.......Your life is a blessing from the Lord.....You could be thankful for what you have.......
Third you are so very blessed and God has given you soooooo much!
Also, why would you want to go back to the 'honeymoon stage' remember? that's right before the "honeymoom is over stage"
THAT is where the work begins!!!
Being married awhile Im sure have had ups and downs and you know quite well that life is not a fairytale. Just pray for them.
Get your eyes off yourself and what you DONT have and keep your eyes on HIM and what you DO have!
Really, that is not who you are in Christ.......envious......you are a thankful reciever of the many blessings of God.
With all honor,respect and joy of the Lord,
K

Okay, first of all...take a deep breath. I understand how you feel and I've been there...stuck in the mud, while other people around me are walking freely and they don't seem to SEE that I'm stuck in the mud. It doesn't seem fair that you've had to work twice as hard to have half as much.
The thing is...life isn't fair. It's just not. From what I'm hearing, you and your husband have faced some rough times...and are going through a rough time now. The WORST thing you can do, is look at your friends and try to compare yourselves to them. You are your own person and you are in a different place in your life than they are.
One thing to remember...they have money and that does make it easier for them, and money sometimes gives the illusion that someone is more successful than you. Don't look at the material things. You have something they may never achieve. You have an inner strength because you've had to struggle. You EARNED your way to where you are, and it COUNTS! You lift that chin and be proud of who YOU are.

I have been in this situation before, and I feel for you. I too have had to struggle to get the right attitude. Yes, I will pray for you.
I also want to mention that I have lived long enough to see the sands shift. You never know what shape anyone's going to be in in the future. Sometimes God tests people with poverty; sometimes he tests them with riches. You never know what is going to happen to any faithful people in the future.

Let them have their wonderful moment in the sun. The reality of married life will come soon enough for them.
I think you already have the right attitude. God bless you.

I understand what you are going through. But you need to remember that every relationship has its ups and downs. Right now, it sounds like your friends are in their "Honeymoon" stage. Be happy for them because many relatrionships break down within the first five years of marriage. As for you, remember to be positive about life and your marriage and to take it all one day at a time

It is all in your perspective. Think of all you two have been thru together. You should now have a more mature love for each other. One that does not change with the wind. You are very fortunate if you have arrived at that point.

Be happy for them. They seem to be in good shape right now, but someday they might not be. They might hit rock bottom. Wish them well and help them enjoy this special moment. The memory of it might help them through rough times ahead.

Be happy for yourself and for them. God blessed us in His own way. We all go through our hardships whether it be financially, physically or emotionally. I will pray for you and remember that God loves you as much as He does them and I believe that He will NEVER give us anymore than we can handle. God bless you and your family.

Be happy with the love you have. You are already blessed. Money is good, but what would it be without love.
