Downcast Husband

I counselled K., who was having troubles with his wife. He was visibly exhausted. He said that 90% of his mental energies were spent trying to figure out a solution (if not figure out his wife). I said: "Won't you just give it up? You can't solve this yourself, it's beyond you. Look at you. Confess to God that you can't solve it, place it in His hands, and wait on Him. Then see what He will do." OBSERVATION: At the same time, I think that God will reward his sincerity. One can't, of course, merely give "ethereal" advice -- it always goes hand in hand with practical solutions. But the "ethereal" (spiritual) advice is fundamental.
