DEALING WITH A DRUNKARD
WISDOM FOR ESTHER
DEALING WITH A DRUNKARD
Waiting all-night in fear that I’ll receive a call that my husband has fallen into a gutter is one of my constant fear whenever he isn’t around a woman said.
My most traumatizing experience is seeing my husband vomiting in the public after getting drunk, I wished I’ve never had to face that again in my life or have our children get to see that another woman had said.
Most men are under the bondage of alcoholism and hard drugs.
If your husband tends to fall into this category, what should you do?
While we teach that our singles don’t marry a man who is given to drunkenness, we know that sometimes there are other factors that could turn a man who previously isn’t a drunkard become one.
If you husband suddenly became a drunkard, try to investigate why he is given to drunkenness; some men who weren’t giving to alcoholism tend to drink as a means of relieving themselves from stress: as a wife, if you husband is given to alcoholism, don’t pressure him to change, by pressuring him you’ll be add more stress to him and thus cause him to drink more, instead, clean him up whenever he returns, don’t make demands of him of anything, just use your feminine grace on him and relieve him of stress. Try to make the home more conducive for him to stay. Make it cleaner and with words and acts, make the home the place where his stress would be relieved. If he finds the home a place of comfort, he’ll frequent the bar less and less
The transformation of a man is the work of the Holy Spirit: don’t think a man would change because of your constant pressures on him to change especially from alcoholism. In fact, the more pressure you give him to change would lead him into more alcoholism and drunkenness. Have special prayer program where you’ll pray for his transformation and when you’ve committed him into God’s hand, allow God solely to work him. Salvation is of the Lord, its only God that can wrought salvation in man.
Be patient as you apply the above wisdom and your marriage would become better.
God bless you
