Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen

I just read your post from a month ago, I’m sorry I didn’t see it sooner. I am with you brother. On my good days I think as you said, if my kids and I are not in physical danger and they are not, then I stay. I told my wife and our pastor that if files for divorce I will fight her all the way to the diocesan tribunal. However, there are days when I wonder if staying is the right thing to do as it is harmful for my kids to see their father as a doormat. The lonliness is excruciatingly painful as I’m sure you understand. I will offer a prayer for you daily and thank you all for praying for my marriage.

Thank you all so very much for the prayers. Morwenna, the sites you gave me links to are beautiful, and your words give me peace.
Mortrayer, I will tell you what is helping me. Find a good counsellor who will help you to understand what your wife is dealing with and how you can respond. It could be depression or some other mental illness. Also, take care of yourself. I found meditation cd’s from centerpointe.com really have helped me to be centred. They have also brought me closer to my Catholic faith, though they are completely nondenominational. I have found that I have to meditate when my wife is asleep however, as she seems to find it very threatening. As far as children go, they will know what you did for them and for their mother. Maybe God is trying to teach me the meaning of unconditional love.
I hope that helps, brother. Know that some really amazing people, and many saints in heaven are praying for us too.
God bless!

Thanks for your prayers all of you.

Wageria; Thanks for your advice. I found a forum at lifetwo.com which has many members suffering through the same dilemma as ours. Though not religious/spiritual in nature you may find it helpful. My wife seems agitated when we do (kids and I) something spiritual too.
We rise early, read the daily Mass readings, OBOB reflections, pray an abbreviated rosary and the Memorare together. She told me recently that practice is unhealthy. She gasped when I told her that the kids and i went to daily Mass recently. Please continue to pray for my family.

God bless,

Mortrayer
 
Hello Dear Friends!

Thank you so much for all of your prayers over the last several months. I want to let you know that God is indeed answering. I was able to talk to one of my wife’s family doctors regarding my concerns for her mental and physical health. He really heard me and agreed to pass on my concerns, Today my wife is going in to see another doctor in the office. I know that God is at work.

My wife also came up with the idea of the two of us attending a Retrouvaille weekend. I believe that that can only bring good also.

Thank you again. I thank God for you. You are wonderful, powerful people, because all good can be accomplished with our loving God. Keep praying! God bless!
