Sometimes, I don't know how my husband puts up with me. I've struggled lately to connect to him or anyone else, so much so that he started to think that I no longer loved him.
We talked and I told him that I felt frozen, frozen like a pillar of salt, like in the story of Lot and his wife, which by the way, I really, really hate that story because I don't think that God would have ever had one of his daughters have sex with their father. This is a scripture that can become quite twisted by people who justify sexually abusing their children. In fact, I'm sure my own father probably used this scripture for his own evil purposes. It should be stricken from the bible.
End of mini-rant and back to my story. We talked and we've both been trying harder to connect with each other, which once again proves to me that I married the right man. He is a saint in how he is willing to be patient, kind, and gentle with his bent wife. I really would not want to be married to me, yet he hangs in there and treats me with love and respect and helps me to continue the healing process.
I am thankful for this man.

I so much relate to your post. My husband has really been getting on board with how to deal with me. I am so thankful that he is in my life. I know I sure don't deserve him.
About Lot's daughters...I do not think God just allowed this to go on. Lot lived in a very wicked city because if you recall, even the men in the city were trying to get to "know" the angels when they came to get Lot and his family out, and thats why the men were struck with blindness. So his daughters getting dear old dad drunk and one thing leads to another, was what they had learned and knew from the place they had lived. Of course that doesn't excuse Lot or his behavior. He should have never been in that city to begin with.
I am sorry for what you must have endured to be going through this now. Good luck to you in overcoming this problem.
