Hello Dear Brothers and Sisters.

I was/am engaged to get married but without boring everyone with the full sob story we had to cancel the wedding due to Mother in Law issues and now we have decided to take a break. I feel this is most likely the end of the relationship. We were together almost 7 years.

I really love Jennifer but the last 12 months I have not been sure of God’s will for me. I have felt a small (just pops up every now and then) call to religious vows of some form. Since having these my engagement turned dramatically upside down. I am not sure if God is leading me somewhere. I am 29 years old.

What I am asking is for any good prayers or novenas for discerning God’s will with relationships and/or any for broken relationships.

I can honestly say I am very upset our relationship is failing yet trusting in God I am joyous in knowing he is with me.

I am somewhat confused on my life at this point.

Thanks for reading and for any advice you can give me.

God Bless.

Dutch H.
 
Please be assured of my prayers, Dutch. My husband and I also delayed our wedding (we did eventually get married) also due to MIL issues. I can tell you it was one of the wisest decisions we ever made.

God will certainly reveal His will for you. You may not understand His path for you soon, but He will reveal it and it will befit you.

God bless.
 
Dutch I suggest you go to Eucharistic adoration. Read the bible or other spiritual books and pray. HE will guide you if you make a regular practice of this.

Lord Jesus, I ask for your special blessing on Dutch. Please provide comfort to him in this difficult time and help him to discern your will for him.
 
Our father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
On Earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day, our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us,
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
 
Definitely draw close to the sacraments. Jesus will let you know:)
 
Thank you for all the replies. I wasn’t always a believer and a long journey lead me to the truth in the Catholic Church. It is amazing the love he has for us. I am obviously upset but I know he is with me always. I am just sorry I fall and sin against him.

I love the sacraments of the Church but I will step it up and use them more then I have.

Thank you for your prayers and support.

God Bless.

This is good advice. Also, make sure to listen to what God has to say. (I don’t know if you needed that, but there it is.)
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

I suggest going to Adoration. I was in your shoes once, broke off an engagement due to MIL issues as well. I rededicated myself to my faith and discerned where God was really calling me. You still may be called to the Sacrament of Matrimony, just not to this current girlfriend. I met my husband 8 months after the broken engagement, and I was the same age as you. We will be married 15 years this May.
 
Most Loving Father, heal their wounds and bring them together if it is your will.
 
I really feel sorry for you.Yet, we can’t do anything for your situation. All I can suggest is that just keep on praying and learn to forgive them.They might not know what they are really doing. May you all heal the wounds of each other.
 
Thank you for all your support and advice. The Brotherhood/Sisterhood of Catholicism is like no other. Glory be to God.

God Bless.
