Can I really change from MrPopples

[Popples]

Some of you know me and would know my wife Gwen (Popples)
I am struggleing with having control over my wife making her do things when i want..I always feel I am her husband and when I want sex she has too... Please dont be hard on me I want help. I am sick of living this life. I was a christian for a few months and then the desire of sex took over and I went back to the worldly things. I do drugs and certainly dont pose as a good guy but how can I change?? Is there really hope for men like me.

Yes, there is hope for you. You say you were a christian for 6 months. So you are still a christian, then?

It would be terrible for me or anyone else to judge you--because it took courage for you to ask these questions. Also, asking the questions shows that you are willing to repent and change. It sounds like you are sick of this life; that you want to allow God to clean you of it and be set free. It sounds like you really do love your wife and that you want to stop hurting her.

Can you change? By all means, yes! Through Christ Jesus, you certainly can.

I'd like to go ahead and pray right now; so here goes, brother:

Dear Jesus, thank you for Popples and her husband. Lord, make right the things in this man's life. He knows it's wrong, Lord. Send him many other godly men to counsel with Him from your Word and to pray with him and his wife. Please, in the name of Jesus, heal this man and heal their marriage. I thank You, Father for his willingness to come here and ask for Your help. Honor his faith, Lord, and as He receives your answers that He would be full of your Holy Spirit. Give him strength to overcome! In the Holy and Precious name of Jesus, Amen.

I John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."

Romans 6:19B "Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to ever increasing wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness."

Hey there MrPopples!
I'm an arrogant and overbearing man. I've hurt my wife emotionally over the years. Though I've only been a believer since 2000 and am in no way perfect, I see and my wife tells me that I'm much easier to live with now. Much more patient, understanding and giving than I used to be. Ask God for help in taking on our servant's role. The world's view is for the man to be sort of a dictator and we bought into it. The truth is that we're supposed to lead our family through serving them. It helps when a wife becomes our helpmate in that endeavor and not just a thorn in our side, but that's a discussion for another thread.

Buddy2 that is a really good post. I like what you said and how you said it. I hope and pray that christian men like you, will be the ones to surround Mr. Popples with prayer and support

Just remember, "Mr. Popples"---only you and Jesus can make the changes though No matter what anyone says, the change will come from your submission to God, and His work in you.
