Nicole- I am so encouraged by what's gone on today!! I hope you are able to see how much good there is!! I am very excited after reading your update about the strides Nath is making, the way your hubby is taking responsibility, and the way you are taking responsibility for what you can do to help your marriage.
God is so Good!!! When you asked for wisdom, He gave it to you!! When you asked for comfort for Nath, He granted it. Praise be to God who loves us so much because of His own faithfulness and who guides us when we are in the dark. Thanks to Him for creating a people who can call on Him to show His glory. Thanks to Him for taking care of us!!
Love you!!! And still praying!

Wow, Nicole! That's a great update. I'm very proud of you and I'm so very glad your hubby is going to be helping you this weekend. I was thrilled when I read you two are going to get some alone time to have some fun. I will continue to pray for you this week! ((((((hugs))))))))

I finally prayed for myself last night and asked God to show me where I need to change and repent. I know that I try and take the lead alot. I know that I do doubt his intelligence on subjects and think I know best. I know that alot of my energy is spent on the kids. I know that I could encourage him more and build him up more than I do. I think the biggest thing he has a problem with is my questioning him, so I am going to start there. I noticed in the car on the way down grace kept asking me questions and I kept answering. Then I thought last night " I should of let him answer or say, hmm I don't know, lets ask Daddy". Is that something I could do more do you think?
Absolutely!!! I don't think there's a husband out there that wouldn't like that!
I think your focus is exactly where it should be. You cannot change him and you are not responsible for his actions or reactions. You are only responsible for you.
You had such a wonderful update! I pray that things continue to improve like this!!

I'll be praying for things to continue improving also. I think that Jae had some good advice about letting him have some space. You need some space for you, too. I'm glad that you are praying during this time--that is a good thing to do. Sometimes, we get so caught up in life (especially when it is overwhelming) that we put God on hold for a while. It is hard when you have a little one anyway.

Hi everyone, thanks for updating Nicole!!
Nath slept the WHOLE NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes the WHOLE NIGHT! Didn't wake once. He slept from like almost 9pm til just before 8 am!!!
LOL Yo and Nicole, I got home from my friends just after 11pm. I didn't get there til just before 8 as mum was running late from work to watch the kids. That was the longest we have spent together in 6 years. We used to see each other EVERY weekend for 3 years in a row before I moved away. It was weird to see her though and not be texting her on the phone. We both felt strange. But I got to see her son too who usually only cries when we are there (he is special needs) but he LOVED me, he was hugging me and laughing with me. It was a great time.
Jae- I have backed off contacting him. I just send him a message in the morning to let him know how nath work and then I call in the afternoon to ask what bills came on, did we get our bank cards etc etc. He has been pleasant, this morning I said "ok see speak to you later, love you" and he said "love you too"!!!!
I know there is a long road ahead, I think once we get back home and Nath is sleeping that I can really show him that I am working on things. Should I tell him what God has told me and what I need to repent of and tell him what I am going to be working on?
He gets here tomorrow some time. I am looking forward to seeing him, but nervous too. How silly huh?
Ohhh and I bought some nice stuff to wear to be when we get home

I would. Showing humility and admitting our own mistakes usually softens the other person's heart.
Nicole - I am just so thrilled for you that Nath is sleeping!!!!!!!!!

Wow, everything sounds wonderful. It must be nice visiting with your mom too.
LOL, you almost sound like Arch is your new BF. Hopefully, it will feel like that for a while.
About your question about repenting and what God told you, see how your conversations go. If he's just real frank and mechanical in you conversation, like "OK, this and this went through, and we got our bank cards, glad the kids are good, OK TTYL" then I wouldn't bring it up. But, if he is more warm and personal, then yeah.

LOL Stina
Tammy, I did admit the other night that I should of tried settling nath differently and I apologised for not listening to him earlier.
Should we try and do much these next few days he is here or just wait til we can be at our own house in private etc? After this weekend he is going back home for a few days, then its my mum's birthday and Nath's birthday party here and my brothers the next day, and then I was going home after that. I don't think or don't want to say anything on Friday night when we go out alone, its just a time to have fun, catch up on the week we have been apart and just connect to one another again.

Thank you everyone for praying, I didn't say that before, and thank you all for your encouraging posts, it is so nice to have all this support from you all!!
Hubby called before to ask what he needed to bring down tomorrow. He admitted that he has been smoking since he had been back home. He hasn't smoked in nearly a year, something that is very important to me, so he said he knows its important to me and he will stop again, he was so stressed he didn't know what to do. He said that he hates not smoking, that it keeps him happy. That would be good if you could pray for him please.
Thanks

Will pray, Nicole. Glad to hear of the good night you had, both with Nath and with your friends.
I would tread lightly on the really serious conversations. Have some light fun the next couple of days, like you mentioned, then ease into what God has laid upon your heart. Really try to get a feel for how open he might be to these kind of serious conversations.
Definitely keep talking to him, but try not to swamp him, even though I know you're very excited with everything that's been happening to you lately. I am very, very happy for you, and I'm proud of you.

Moo! 
Just kidding, that's great Nicole, even if it does take a while for your own sleep habits to get back to normal.
