Question

Okay let me clarify this question .... Has adversaries and hard times brought you closer to or farther apart from your spouse and why? I would like top see stories and answers to this and reasons why you chose to get close or seperate because of them. I know that my husband and I have gotten closer through alot of storms and hard times that we have had... We have had our house flooded and lost alot of things but have drawn closer to each other and to God through it all and God has blessed us and our marriage for it!

Answer 1

well here are some things that brought us closer and further apart, well one was when i lost my little brother in a car wreck this last year may 26th 2006, it was the worst car wreck ever, that brought us so much closer cuz he was really supportive, another thing was when he lost his mom due to cancer, it was hard and that kinda brought us together but at the same sense pushed us apart cuz he really didnt know how to deal with hios feelings, and the other thing was when we lost our baby 2 days after she was born, she passed away that pushed me away just cuz i was so hurt and so angry and i really didnt know how to deal with that, but at the the funeral and seeing her little casket and to know we were both deling with this loss not just me it brought us so much closer cuz he was just trying to be supportive to me, and help me through it so we have been through some times but we always find a way to come bacjk together. :)

Answer 2

My husband and I have been through it all.I miscarried our first child.It was a really hard thing to go through we tried 6 years to have a baby.We have had hard times because of his family meddling in our business,We finally got our baby but I almost died giving birth to him.We go through things on almost a daily basis because our son has a life threatening illness.And in the last 1 1/2 years we have endured a lot due to my medical problems. I had a stroke in Sept of o5 and found out last Tuesday that there is a chance that I might have ovarian cancer.My doctor is sure it is something called polycyclic ovary syndrome.We have like I said been through it all.And with each new problem we seem to just get closer and closer.We always make it through tough times because we are always their for each other no matter what.

Answer 3

My husband and I lost our only child 2 years ago when he was 2 (babysitter left him alone and he drowned). It is the hardest thing we will ever go through, I know. At first it kind of drove us apart because we had no idea how to even deal with it and because it was such a shock. But through grief counseling it brought us closer together as we learned to rely more on each other than ever. We both know that since we got through that, we can get through anything, and our relationship is stronger now.

Answer 4

right now my husband and i are going through a very difficult time,we are very close to begin with,have been married for over 25 years and are best friends.the company he works for sent him to another state to work,he builds restaurants so its short term ,but the distance is great and he can only come home on the weekends,we are having a very hard time with this because we enjoy each others company so much,through it all we are getting even closer because we realize how much we love each other and God definitely is giving us the strength to get through this

Answer 5

my ex after 10 years, told me he wanted a divorce, when asked why he totally blamed me, and had been distant and uncaring for over a year, he finally did admit after awhile there was someone special in his life. this brought an end to our marriage, it could not stand up to the love he had for the other woman. i chose to move on, because he no longer wanted me, and we lived in a small town where i knew i would be running into them, so i moved several states away. prayed to god, but for some reason it just wasn't meant to be.
