First off, say a prayer of thanks for my wife and me! Our six month wedding anniversary is next Saturday!

Now for the nitty-gritty: we’ve been living apart for the last six months because she is finishing a graduate degree in another city. I was so confident that I was supposed to pursue a degree here in San Francisco and we had somewhat foolishly talked ourselves into the idea that it was going to be o.k. to live apart for this long.

The year hasn’t gone well at all for me, thanks to a horrible living situation on the outskirts of the ghetto of San Francisco, anxiety attacks, and latent laziness from my bachelor days. In short, things are just terrible right now. It’s almost as if I’ve wasted an entire year! Apart from my wife! For no good reason! All so I could pursue a stupid degree that I may not be cut out to get anyway :banghead:

Things are pretty stressful for her now, too. Her school situation is dire (though thankfully not so dire as mine), and seeing each other for two days every two/three weeks just isn’t helping much. I realize that this is pretty much all my fault and I’m overwhelmed with gratitude that my wife is even interested in being married to me at this point.

The only good to come out of this is that we’ve been able to shake off our romanticism and some of our more destructive childish vices. But now we desperately need God’s direction. Prayers? :byzsoc:
 
For your prayer request for direction for your situation in school for both you and your wife, and for direction in your marriage:

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.

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.

God Bless You
 
Merciful Lord in Heaven, You conceived of CatholicNerd and his wife from all eternity as an irreplaceable part of Your Divine plan. You sustained them throughout their lives and brought them together in the Sacrament of Marriage. We ask that you send Your Holy Spirit to illumine their hearts and provide direction, strengthening them to bear up under the stress of both a new marriage and seemingly divergent educational goals. From confusion You bring peace. Graciously teach them that the Sacrament of marriage exceeds in importance, their career or educational goals. Mercifully prevent them from “beating themselves up” over their decisions, lovingly reminding them that the world stands ready to accomplish that for them. Hear the intercession of Christ Jesus, Who sits at Your Right Hand. May our prayers be combined with those of the Angels and Saints to form a continuous petition for mercy and blessing upon them. We ask this through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy spirit, One God for ever and ever. Amen! Alleluia!
 
Father, please re-unite this man and
wife quickly. Guide them to the place
where you would have them to be in their lives.
Grant them peace and financial stability.
Remove their anxiety and replace it with
nothing but happiness.
We ask this in the name of Jesus!
AMEN
 
Praying for you…

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.
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
 
CatholicNerd, I am praying that God will reveal his plan for you and your wife and that you can somehow be closer together.
