I noticed a pattern. Whenever there is something that is stressful, my wife gets into a mode. It's like she doesn't have the self-awareness about it and/or she doesn't have the capacity to cope/manage it.
And Im guessing the former needs to come first before the latter can happen.
Is this necessarily a spiritual matter, or could this be just a matter of emotional maturity? Or are these two things related (emotional / spiritual)?
I know it's a spiritual battle for me as I am attacked and accused of bad things. Things that used to give me doubt and grief.
It's almost as if my wife is bi-polar (she did say she wondered sometimes about it).
How can I know if we need marriage counseling, or if my wife needs emotional/spiritual counseling, or if we just need good 'ol fashioned healing and deliverance?
Note that the point of stress could be various things: but it usually boils down to her feeling criticized or offended in some way.
Could this be a principality of bitterness at play here? This seems to run in her family.
