I agree with the others who have mentioned becoming a Deacon. Perhaps you are called to a volunteer position in which you minister to souls in an important way.

Loving God, having a divided mind regarding our marital vocation could be as destructive to family relationships as an emotional affair can be. A spouse/parent can become emotionally distant if he is not fully committed to his marriage and family.
We are mindful, Lord, that were we to change to another vocation other than that which is ours through a Sacrament of the Church, we probably soon be disillusioned by the difficulties associated with that other vocation. That which we have not experienced yet attracts us may be no less arduous, demanding, exhausting, at times boring, than the life we already live may offer on occasion. No human existence is ideal, and reality always awaits us in the long years of life.
Loving God please bless Jafar with all graces and determination needed to be the best, most attentive and generous of husbands,
and all the graces and determination a truly loving, attentive father who is a blessing to these precious souls entrusted to him. Bless him with true appreciation of his vocation as husband and as father as his primary call.
Do not allow him to remain divided in heart or mind, but to live in great charity in the life given to him.
We must serve with mind heart and soul where we are, not where we are not,
otherwise we are cheating ourselves, the spouse to whom God Himself in Sacrament has united us as one; and in danger of betraying the deep needs of souls brought into being through God and through our marital unity in the Sacrament of Marriage bestowed before the face of God in the Church.
If there is anything else that You require of Jafar, let him nevertheless never love and serve his wife and each child any less than the most that You desire for their happiness, their true good, their growth as balanced and faith-filed persons, and their quality of human and spiritual health and peace.

Hail Mary, Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee,
Bessed art thou amongst 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.
