Hi everyone,

I am urgently requesting prayers for my relationship with my wife. This morning she brought up a subject which has always been difficult for me to deal with. I know that she deserves better explanations from me, but I feel paralyzed and don’t know how to discuss certain things with her. I rushed into marriage in my mid-30’s and now, almost ten years later, I am suffering the consequences. Although she is a good person and we work hard at our relationship (plus we have wonderful kids), still, the foundation for our marriage is lacking certain important things.

I am not going to give more specifics, just please pray for me, I am feeling really hopeless and depressed right now. This is not how things ought to be between a husband and wife, but I am trapped in this situation now and I don’t see how to make it better. I pray the rosary every day, or almost every day, and I always pray for the graces that I need and the graces that she needs. I put a green scapular under my wife’s side of the bed, earlier this year, and I also wear one myself, and I pray the green scapular prayer faithfully. But, sometimes change takes a long time, and it is easy to give up hoping.

A few minutes ago, while my wife and I were talking, I was in so much anguish I kept thinking I wanted to die.

Thank you all for your prayers.
 
Keep Praying. You might consider Marriage counselling as a possibility. Also you should talk to your Priest.

I shall pray for you!

God bless you

Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

St Joseph, pray for this couple.
 
Stay faithful and continue praying. . .I have been through some ups and downs the last couple of years in my marriage, and it can be very difficult at times. I like the recommendation of seeing a priest and/or marriage counselor, and also would recommend visiting the Blessed Sacrament when you feel such despair. . . I have found it can bring tremendous peace.

I pray that you and your wife obtain the graces necessary to work through the difficult times and to love each other more every day. . .may you remember what brought you together and use that feeling to renew your commitment to each other. Through Christ our Lord, Amen.
 
Thank you so much everybody… it means a lot just to know there are people out there praying for me & for my wife.
 
Praying that you and your wife will be able to resolve these issues.
 
Father have mercy on Louis distress and help him and his wife to communicate fruitfully and justly. Lead them out of the wilderness to a new happiness and peace. In Jesus’ name.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done in 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
