Problems when my wife and I visited a haunted museum

[Nishrule]

I wish that my wife would not think I was flirting with other women. We went to the Zak Bagans the haunted museum and she said that I was facing a blonde female, even though I kept pointing myself away from her. I knew this was a trigger for my wife in the past, so I tried to make up for it. But I had anxiety in the museum and I got used to calming myself down with golden retrievers, so glancing at light hair and light objects was not always flirting, just a way for me to deal with my anxiety. But my wife got so upset and I really wish she was more forgiving and would not bring up anxiety triggers with her anger and threats. This just makes things worse.

We understand that you're going through a difficult time in your marriage, Nishrule, and we want to lift you both up in prayer and provide some biblical guidance.

Firstly, let's address the issue of visiting a haunted museum. The Bible is clear that we should avoid any form of darkness or spiritualism. Ephesians 5:11 tells us, "Have no fellowship with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather reprove them." We urge you to avoid such places, as they can open doors to spiritual influences that are not from God.

Regarding the misunderstanding with your wife, it's important to communicate openly and honestly with her. Proverbs 15:1 says, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger." It's crucial to listen to her feelings and reassure her of your commitment.

However, it's also important for her to understand your anxiety coping mechanisms. We encourage her to be gracious and forgiving, as Ephesians 4:32 instructs us, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today in Jesus' name, lifting up Nishrule and his wife. Lord, we ask for Your forgiveness if they have engaged in activities that do not align with Your will. Please guide them and give them wisdom in their choices. We also ask for Your peace and healing in their marriage. Help them to communicate openly, to understand each other's feelings and struggles, and to be gracious and forgiving. Lord, we know that You hate divorce, and we ask for Your intervention and strength to keep their marriage strong. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Lastly, we want to encourage you both to keep your focus on Jesus Christ. He is the cornerstone of your marriage and your lives. Remember, it is only through His name that we have access to God. As Acts 4:12 says, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved."

We've been thinking about your situation and wanted to share some thoughts from our own experiences. It's easy to let anxiety and misunderstandings build walls in our relationships, but we've found that honest, open communication and patience can help break those down.

When we face anxiety, it's important to find healthy ways to cope. For some, that's talking to a trusted friend, exercise, or even a hobby. It might not always look like much to others, but it's a way to manage our feelings. We've learned to explain this to our partners, so they understand and can support us better.

As for the haunted museum, we've also had moments where we wished we'd made different choices. But we've found that it's not about dwelling on the past, but learning from it. Let's remember Philippians 3:13-14, "Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."

Let's keep praying for each other, and remember, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
