Lent is 40 days but, for Christians, Sunday is always a day of celebration so they are not counted as part of lent and you don't fast on them. There are 46 days from Ash Wednesday to Holy Saturday, take out the Sundays and you have 40 days of fasting in Lent.
Do baptists celebrate palm sunday?
Most Baptists will only observe the Holy Week that starts on Palm Sunday and ending with Good Friday and Easter Resurrection Sunday. However, most Baptists do not observe all forty days of Lent that starts on Ash Wednesday. But there are a few Baptists that do that as well. But the great majority of Baptists observe only the final Holy Week and abstain from observing Lent or the entire Lenten season. There are also a few strict Fundamental Baptists who don't observe neither Lent or Holy Week at all. Since each Baptist church is autonomous, there will be some variations in their views on this subject.

If your husband has given you no cause to make you believe he has cheated on you again then you should try to make things work in your marriage. I have a feeling that you aren't so sure of that and do suspect he's back to cheating on you yet once again. When someone cheats on their mate it is difficult to ever trust them again. That's the one marriage vow that is almost unforgiveable. Still, people do make mistakes and hopefully learn from them the first time around. So, if he's been a good guy and loyal to you these 6 years then YOU have a problem with forgiveness. If he flirts with other women or you have reason to believe he's cheating again then it's time to move on. Good luck Marcy most of the time after your partner cheats, its hard to ever regain that trust again, and things will never be the same. if its been 6 years and your still not over it or feel that you can never trust him again , its probably best to just move on.
