Hi Folks,
God bless you all. I hope you might mention me in your prayers.
My wife and I just had out seventh child last fall. Before her birth and after, I have felt under intense spiritual attack. I had a huge fight with my family two days before the baby was born. My brother told me that he thought I had too many kids, and that if you followed the church’s teachings, the end result would be something like Netflix’s The Handmaid’s Tale. And my father called me a fundamentalist. I was already stressed with the pending delivery of the baby. During my wife’s last baby, she had hemorrhaged and I was intensely worried about her.
Anyway, the baby was born and there were no complications. She is a beautiful baby girl and we love her dearly. But things have not been great in our marriage since then. We have been abstaining. I can’t imagine having another child. I sleep in the basement. We have had many fights. Our relationship has been very… oppositional.
Anyway - to make a long story short - I pray for the renewal of our marriage. For a return to the affection we once had for each other. The idea that we are on the same side and that we love each other.
And perhaps a return to trusting in God’s providence. Especially with regard to our fertility. That NFP would somehow start working for us, and that we would trust in God enough, even if it fails.
I apologize for the long prayer request. It has been a long time since I last posted.
God bless you all,
