5 Year Relationship Lost?

For 5 years I have had a relationship with my girlfriend. We both came from failed marriages. A couple days ago I asked her to spend the rest of our lives together. And she said she couldn’t do that and she voiced her concerns. I tried to defend myself and the relationship, but her concerns hit me like daggers. I was faced with my flaws. She was mostly right. I felt like I was loving her but I was failing her. Failed relationships seems to be the norm and I realize I’m the one constant in all of them. Good relationships take work. I was just “being together” not moving forward. We’ve not communicated for a couple days. I don’t know if there is anything left. I believe I need to give her time and space. She’s the love of my life. I’m 52 and can’t imagine trying again from scratch. Can we take a time tested relationship and work on the flaws together versus starting over with new people and most likely failing again? That’s my prayer. And please pray for wisdom in when and how to reach out. I felt like we could just avoid conflict or hard topics, but we can’t. Will she choose to spend a little more time to address these issues, or just love on? I’m broken hearted and so concerned that I hurt and failed her. She certainly gave me time. May God give me wisdom and courage. Thank you.

August 17, 2022 at 10:20 amBrother Mark, agreeing with the prayers of great wisdom above. Have you considered declaring! and decreeing! what you want to happen in this relationship? It is so true that the words that we speak carry power to either bring about blessing, or a cursing (Pv. 18:21). In the book of Job, there’s a promise of light shinning on our ways. (Job 22:28), “Thou shalt decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.” JESUS Himself said we can have what we say. (Mk. 11:24 AMP), “For this reason I am telling you, whatever things you ask for in prayer [according with God’s will], believe [with confident trust] that you have received them, and they will be given to you.” Mabey it’s time to start decreeing! a few things. The spiritual law that’s at work here works both ways. We are going to have what we say. We are either going to experience the Blessing, or we are going to experience the curse. The choice is ours as to what we are going to get. — Our words count. Praying you are Blessed in your relationship.
In JESUS name. Amen! ❤
