I was happy in marriage, my wife and I have two beautiful and beloved children. But I cannot get rid of the obsession with the fact that everything cannot be so beautiful, and sooner or later God will take from me everything that I have, including my family. I cannot get rid of these thoughts, and they really prevent me from enjoying life. I see that my wife is unhappy with me because of my fear. I'm afraid that in our marriage she is tormented. But I can not help myself. I'm searching information because I'm incredibly afraid of losing a family. Help! Perhaps there is an option that will help me? Maybe I should go to church every day and ask God to forgive me for what kind of person I used to be?

First off, its very important if you give us details to the questions Giller has asked. However i will go ahead and give my response as if you have had The Almighty reveal Himself to you and has saved you.
lets take a look at some of the words used in the opening post of this thread:
"dissolution of marriage Pennsylvania" dissolution. ... dis-solution. Dis means not or against, negative, or reversing force. in more simple terms what the link takes you to is NOT the solution.
"fear" "obsession" "tormented"
1Jn 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
now the word perfect here means to make complete, or maturity. Fear is not just a feeling but a spirit. and based on your words i would think you have a spirit of fear tormenting you. what do you do to combat this?
2Co 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
All your worry cant make you grow one inch taller, it cant make you live one day longer, it cant make any gray hairs in your head, if you have any go back to the original color. worry and fear is not doing anything for you. what you are really doing is abiding in the spirit of fear instaead of abiding in The Spirit Of God. you need to get in Gods presence and stay there. if you got no peace... you aint there.
and by the way, you can forget all that going to church everyday and maybe God will forgive you. nope. dont work like that. you need one encounter with God to be forgiven. genuine and in truth... all the way in your heart. how to get there? turning from sin. I am not going to sit here and point out all your sins. I am not going to throw stones at you... but you need to get honest with yourself and with God. what does Gods Word say is sin? if you use the bible as a mirror for your life... do you have areas that the bible says is sin... and if so are you willing to turn from it and basically... drop it like a hot potato, turn 180 degrees around and walk away, and never return to pick it up? if so... get on your knees or prostrate all alone... just you and God and repent. once you are willing to live How God Says... then you will experience Him drawing near to you... because you drew near to HIM. but i tell you of a certainty... going to church every day and asking for forgivness because of what you do... nope. God aint interested in that. He wants to by His Spirit change you... to make you more and more like Him. make you to live holy. make you to live without fear. because, and here it is... one day everything you have will be taken from you... even your life as you know it on earth. on that day you will meet God. are you ready to meet Him? if you dont know then you are not ready. if you think... your not ready.
there is something wrong with all of us. its the fallen human nature than mankind got when adam and eve ate the fruit God said not to. we are all corrupt. the answer is Jesus Christ. put God first. as soon as fear comes into your mind strike the thought... find scriptures you can quote... find promises from God... say them over and over and push fear out. get to thanking and praising God for all His benefits, all His blessings.
and just take a few seconds to ponder... would a God want to take everything away from me i care about... that is, a God who bled and died to pay for my sins, a God who gave us a book to learn of Him and His ways that says ... But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.... that says... Jer 31:3 The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. .. that says... Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. that says... ooo are you ready for this one?... 1Pe 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
you need to realize. God is for you. not against you. grace and mercy are still accessible right now. all he requires is how we live to be as He says. when you obey and you seek Him... peace will flood your heart... and even in the midst of trouble you will be in perfect peace. all your problems will shrink to nothing, because He is there with you.
God is truely the greatest love of any of our life. There is none like Him. None can compare. no other will do.

Fear will destroy your family.
God is reaching out to you in your fear. Cletus is spot on.

Hello Cassandrachilds, welcome to Narrow-way. We hope that we can help you by speaking truth in love. As brother Cletus said, we all can agree and testify that he speaks truth. Brother Giller asked a question, and I too am curious. Are you a man or woman? I ask this question also because it is important in your walk with the Lord. I believe we all struggle with some form of sin. For some it maybe alcohol, gambling, sexual sin, whatever it is, with the help of the Lord we can overcome. We are made into a new creature in Christ when we become born again. Does not mean we are perfect but as we grow in the Lord, we strive to live holy before the Father through allowing the Holy Spirit to conform our minds, our thoughts, our words, more and more to the image of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Dear beloved! You are greatly loved! We all are and the love of the Father through His Son Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit is priceless! This life is but fleeting and the things of this world will die away but the Father's love is everlasting! I ran from the Lord in my 20's and He sought me and fought for me and He is doing the same for you! It is a process but know this, Jesus bled and died for you that you may have life! Not just here on earth but eternal life. Repent of any wrong doing (for we all fall short of the glory of God- Romans 3:23) and ask the Lord to show you how you are to live and how you can glorify Him in and through your life. Start by reading His Word. Pray for He loves to listen. We must approach Him in humility and He is the Almighty God and will hear the cries of the humble and the contrite in spirit. When we genuinely seek Him with all our heart, He says in His Word, that we would find Him. I pray that you will find the source of true joy and peace- Jesus. blessings

There is a cost not only to lie, but also to believing lies. They can also damage us and our relationships, sometimes irreparably. Buying into lies continuously will take you down a destructive path and move you further away from God. One of the reasons we know this to be true is because the Bible tells us so.The devil wants you to stress about things outside of your control so that you don’t rely on Christ, the One who strengthens, but that you will rely on the Enemy, the one who will do everything in his power to make you doubt all forms of joy and happiness. He wants you confused, anxious, even angry about your life circumstances so that you will and eventually become distant from God, and rely on your own understanding.

You have an interesting username. What made you choose Cassandra? Are you still living with your spouse? What kind of person did you used to be? When you get time, fill in the details as much as you feel comfortable.
