On the radio program Escola do Amor Responde (The Love School Answers), a student told teachers Renato and Cristiane Cardoso that she has wanted to take her own life several times and doesn’t know what to do anymore. She has been married for 21 years but always fights with her husband. Her relationship is almost over, and she wants the teachers’ advice. The student said that she loves her husband, but what gets in the way is that she drinks a lot, and when this happens, she breaks everything in the house.
I’ve wanted to kill myself many times. I don’t know what to do with my life anymore. I’ve been married for 21 years and fight with my husband for no reason. My marriage is almost over. I really need your help. I love my husband, but what gets in the way of our relationship is that I drink too much. When this happens, I turn into a mess and break everything in the house. Please help me.
Student, I imagine you must already suspect your problem is not just your marriage. Your marriage is almost over because of a personal problem. As you mentioned, suicide attempts, alcoholism, fights for no reason, and destructive behavior indicate a serious problem in your emotional side and your spiritual life. In our work, we help many people who exhibit behaviors that they regret. They repeat actions such as cursing, attacking, or destroying something because they cannot stop this pattern from manifesting. The root of this problem is spiritual.
Spiritual and emotional issues generate behavioral problems that affect the relationship. What you need to do is recognize that to treat this problem, you must take care of your soul and spirit. By healing your soul, you will no longer feel the need to drink because drinking, like any addiction, is an escape. There will be no more desire to run away, to die, or to act with uncontrolled aggression. Your soul needs to be healed. This is the most important step you must take in your life. As a result, your marriage will be saved and restored.
I appreciate your humility in acknowledging you have a problem without blaming your husband or marriage. This is the first step towards change. I recommend that you attend the Friday meetings at The Universal Church to take care of your spiritual problem. This meeting is geared towards this type of problem. Usually, when you have a problem, you solve it, but when you can’t do that, there is a spiritual problem.
To find the address closest to you, go to the website universalchurchusa.org/en/locations/ or consult page 12 of the Universal News. Seek this spiritual help and see the changes that will occur in your life and your marriage.
