I still have hope

As one who has recently decided to separate from her husband, I found this book, Hope for the Separated by Gary Chapman, to be well worth the read.  There are a few things in the book that upset me enough to send me into a depression, though.  for a book that's supposed to be about HOPE, it's odd that I spiraled into depression rather than felt uplifted. 

I spoke with my counselor regarding some of the things that upset me and she said that I have to weed out what's worth reading from what IS in a book like this.  An author like Gary Chapman knows what he's doing, but at the same time, ever situation is different and it's impossible to cover EVERY different type of situation in such a book.

There is a lot of reassurance and a reminder that I do need to stay the course....it is an act of love forcing my husband and I to have a better marriage---a marriage that truly honors God rather than just a marriage where he's here and I'm here and that's all.

Pray for my husband and I........I haven't given up hope...
