Hi,

Please pray for me and my wife R.
We’ve only been married for four months yet our share of downs outnumber the happy ones. I’ve always been the one to initiate patching things up, but I don’t know how long I can keep it up. Each day that passes, it’s been getting worse. I am not perfect, nor do I claim to be, but she always makes it seem like I’m the worst person in the world. She refuses to listen or acknowledge what I have to say. It’s always about how I hurt her, and how everything is all my doing.

Please please pray for strength, commitment, openness, humility, and understanding for us both. I love her and I really want to keep the marriage intact.

Thank you, and I pray that no one out there will ever have to go through difficult times that we are going through.
 
Do you have a Catholic Charities nearby? They generally offer counseling for free or at a reduced rate, depending on your income. Or a Retrouvaille or Marriage Encounter weekend might help, if she’s willing to go.

It sounds like maybe her expectations of marriage were very different from the reality. It could be that she has unrealistic expectations of you and/or herself, or it could simply be that her needs are not being met and she doesn’t know how to communicate those needs to you in a helpful way.

When you were dating, did you get along really well, or were there signs of this then?

If you got along really well, then look at what has changed in the way you interact with each other, the way you behave toward each other, etc. If there were signs that you had problems before marriage, then you may need to sort of “start from scratch.”

If you are interested in some books that might help, feel free to PM me. 🙂

Will :gopray2: for you.
 
Memorare

REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
 
I will pray for your marriage!

Please pray for mine too! Thanks! 🙂
 
Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us ,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent , but with great confidence ,
submit ourselves to Your Holy Will ,
which is love and mercy itself . Amen

My heartfelt thanks for all the prayers and responses.
Things improved for a while but have gotten worse today.
She says she no longer loves me and says she can no longer be with me.
I don’t know if I can go on.
I ended up here on this forum as I was looking for answers. And the brief moments of happiness after my first post made me think that we really need are prayers, and our faith to be strong. But I’m honestly beginning to have doubts. I don’t know what God really wants for us.
I hope you can continue to pray for me and my wife.
And I do pray you all have great, strong, and happy marriages, so that you can continue to inspire and give people like me hope.
Lord, I don’t know what you really want for me and my wife right now. Every time I remind myself that every challenge given is something we are capable of handling. Please give us the strength to continue loving each other and keeping the marriage intact. Likewise, Lord God, please continue to bless all the people in this forum, so that they may continue to give hope and enlightenment, and serve as Your Voice.
