What should I do???

[zwirth07]

Ok.. I will try and make this short and sweet. My wife and I currently live in a small town. We used to live in a bigger city and I ran a window tinting business. Well I am unhappy with my current career and want to go back to the window tinting business. But I want to do it in Houston because its a much bigger city. My wife and her family are completely against it because we will be living 1000 miles away from them and we currently live 5 miles away. It has been a non stop battle... of course I will start with a job working for a company first and then work my way into running a business again. The reason I left my first business is because my wife wanted to live out here with her family, so I was willing to give it a try and I dislike it very much. Now she is not very willing to give my choice a try.. I have been praying to god and I even write letters!! But I just dont know what I should do... Anyone have advice or been in a similar situation?? Thank you for your time.

I grew up in a city, and i loved city life, all my family and friends are there it was my home ,

Untill i met my husband, i had a choice to make ,he did not like the city and his job was in his home town along with his family. I agreed to give it a try and i moved away from my home. It was very hard for me and there were times i cryed to go back, but i had agreed to give it a try and to give it a good try i needed to be here for at least two years, now im here five years this year and im just settling but i know i made the right choice. I understand your problum brother ,one question you might ask if your wife is truely happy there and needs her family around her, is it worth a little pain on your behalf to ensure her happiness? I suffered for some time for my husband to be happy and i am now happy i did it, suffering for the ones we love is part of what love is ,well thats my view.

Pray for guidence on this matter, and im sure Jesus will show you what is right course for you to take.

God Bless and i will keep you in my prayers xx

Dear zwirth07
I think your wife should understand your relationship comes first before her family.

Gen 2:24
Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

I will pray for you
Blessings

Abigya and mounty thanks for the replies...

Abigya, that is what my mother has told me and a few other people. That we are one, and we are our own family now. Thanks.
