I think becoming a substance abuse counselor would be a ticket to a more reliable income than depending on covenant marriage to pay the bills.

A 1-2 year separation is tough. One can choose abstinence, reconciliation, or adultery. Choose wisely, one will cost you much, much more than the other two.

1-2 years abstinence. Anyone got a woman that can do that you need to divorce her now. You married the wrong woman.
