I just read the post about a girl ...who after 3 yrs her guy is out and things are not working like she thought ...sometimes I wonder after three years I will be older and maybe not look the same or we might change in the way we think ..do any of you ever think these thoughts ...is it ever there in the back of your mind the what if ????????I can say till I am blue in the face how much we love each other ..but is that enough ...does anyone else have storys about the afterlife ...when they get home I am really interested

Honey, I just decided to respond because I saw that noone else had. I think maybe noone ese has responded because, yes, what if, can always e in the back of our heads. But no one wants to voice that fear. Fear is the opposite of faith. The only thing we can do is have faith that whatever happens is the right thing. We are standing by the people we care about praying that when they return things will work out. Not to the way they were before - because nothing can ever return to the way they were (especially after all we have gone through) - but we hope our relationships will be stronger, better, wiser. For some people it may not work out, but others they won't be able to work through the changes. But I believe if you really love the person, and you are strong enough to see it to the end - then you may just be strong enough to work through whatever you will have to overcome when he gets home. I myself know that the his prison time ay be the easiest part in all this, when he comes home, at least we'll be able to work as a team, but all the conditions of his release will put a major strain on things, but I have faith that the Lord will not put a burden on me heavier than I can bear. If you can't have faith in the Lord, at least have some faith in Love.

I agreee with what TeAmo wrote - besides, there is no guarantee ANY relationship will work out after three years - in or out of prison. People are always growing and changing - try not to worry so about the future and just take it a day at a time. You know the saying "The future will take care of itself." I really feel it is important to just work on the "now". Zoe

I don't have a good story about the afterlife, because I'm here again.
My husband (then boyfriend) spent 6 months in jail and "changed his life". He got saved & baptized, got a great job, we got married, and had a second child together (trying to do things the right way). He lasted until I was 7 months pregnant - which was less than 1 1/2 into the marriage to go back to his old ways. So here I am now with the kids, the responsiblilities, and the doubts. Is he going to make it this time? Will 4 1/2 years be long enough to make him get his life together and rethink his priorities - or will it be the same old $&*@&*@*$& all over again?
