Para esposos

Mi esposa recayó otra vez. ¿Qué hago?

La mayoría de lo que se escribe sobre la adicción en el matrimonio está escrito para esposas. Tú eres esposo, y quizás has sentido por mucho tiempo que se supone que debes simplemente arreglar esto — o sostenerlo todo en silencio sin que nadie te pregunte cómo estás.

Nadie te está preguntando. Así que lo haremos nosotros: ¿cómo estás? No bien. No sobrellevándolo. De verdad.

Su recaída no es un veredicto sobre ti como esposo o como hombre. No puedes amarla hacia la sobriedad. Puedes amarla, puedes ser honesto, y puedes mantenerte a salvo a ti y a tus hijos. Ese es todo el trabajo de esta noche.

Tres cosas que hacer en la próxima hora

  1. 1
    La seguridad primero
    Si ella está en riesgo por lo que tomó, o hay niños que necesitan protección, actúa sobre eso primero. Llama por ayuda si lo necesitas.
  2. 2
    Di menos
    No intentes razonar con ella esta noche. No amenaces. No ruegues. Mañana, sobria, es cuando las palabras cuentan.
  3. 3
    Habla con un hombre
    Un hermano, un amigo, un pastor. Un mensaje. Los hombres en tu posición se quedan callados, y el silencio es donde esto empeora.

Una oración para ahora mismo

Dios, no sé cómo hacer esto.

He intentado ser fuerte. He intentado ser paciente. He intentado estar enojado. Nada de eso la trajo de vuelta.

Te la entrego esta noche porque ya no puedo cargarla ni un paso más. Tómala. Mantenla viva.

Y dame algo en qué apoyarme, porque el suelo que tenía ya no está.

Amén.

"Cercano está Jehová a los quebrantados de corazón, y salva a los contritos de espíritu." — Salmos 34:18
