My husband and I have been married for about six months, and long story short he’s been very focused on the house we’re closing on in a month and senses that I’m not as excited about it. I told him I’ll be as excited about if our house stops coming before our prayer and our marriage (as it seems like it is to me). The house means a lot to him because he didn’t have a good family life growing up and didn’t have much of a place to live, some winters didn’t have heat, etc. I know it means a lot to him. We talked more tonight about it and he said that he hasn’t been happy lately in life. He said it’s not our marriage, but his job and the fact that he doesn’t have friends where we live. (We live near my family but he hasn’t made friends here yet.) He’s been looking for other jobs but hasn’t found one yet. As far as his friends, I ask him if he wants to go visit but he thinks that’ll be too hard emotionally, but he doesn’t really want to make new friends, he says he just wants his old ones. Since he didn’t have a good family life growing up his friends are like his family.
He says he hopes moving into the house will take him out of this rut, and he sees it as something we should be excited about together and something that will be a big part of our future together and starting a family. The house is important and I agree but I want us to be prioritizing our prayer and our marriage. I brought up specific ways I think we could improve those, and he pretty much agreed to them. If moving takes him out of this rut that’s great, but I think it might end up being the next exciting thing and then he’ll be unhappy until the next thing comes along.

I’d say this unhappiness has been going on for two our three months, and before that he was battling anxiety and depression. He says he’s not now, but he just feels “blah.” This is also affecting our sex life, we’ve only had sex once in the last three months and we’re newlyweds and want to start a family.
I brought up counseling but he’s tried it and it didn’t do much for him so he doesn’t want to. I think I might need to go to counseling to learn how to love him through it but have healthy boundaries so I can keep myself spiritually/physically/mentally healthy.
Please pray for us! Thank you!!
 
Hello again! 🙂

I pray that God blesses your marriage and that He helps your husband with the stress he’s been facing. Amen.
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

†

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 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.

ilm sad for your worries and unhappiness and for the unhappiness your husband feels

Prayers for your marriage and also that you will support your husband in his emotional need for his stability.
He has given up his friends that you can have your family nearby.
Marriage requires compromise by both partners. And your husband has comprised by giving up the people whom he regarded as family so you can be near yours.
In wishing for a home, he will also provide stability for your future children.

Your poor husband doesn’t even have a job. If he isn’t feeling understood in his needs, unemployed, lonely, even with his wife, he is understandably miserable. It’s not easy for some people just to go out and find new friends, in place of those with whom they have history and trust. It isn’t that simple.
If the insistence to prayer comes between you, he may turn away from it all together.
Please Lord bless this couple with genuine love and mutual generosity
Bless them in all things temporal and spiritual

Remember that Jesus said, when discussing the judgement of souls after death, with Him as judge, those He chose as righteous and as going to heaven are those who live in real and practical kindness to others. And He Also said that such practical kindness to others, He accepts as being kindness to Him Matthew 25 verses 31- 46

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!

Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. x10

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
 
Thank you all for the prayers! Just to clarify, he does have a job, and a very stable one with great pay and flexibility. He doesn’t like this particular job so he’s looking for a new one, which I support him in. Also, I’ve asked him several times if he still wants to live here and he says that it’s more important for us to be by my family than for him to be by his friends, which I very much appreciate. And long before we were married he said if we ended up together we’d be by my family because he knows how important that is to me, I didn’t even ask him.
And we were both missionaries and our faith was the main factor that brought us together, and he’s suggested praying together multiple times. We started that before we got married and then we haven’t been as consistent as a couple with it, and I brought up that that bothered me. I appreciate advice, truly, but please don’t just assume I’m just being unsupportive to my husband.

Father please bless this man and allow him to not subsitute material things for his marriage, and God. May he learn to follow in the word of God and spread the good news of his word. In your name, Jesus amen!

Dear Lord, I come to you in despair because this marriage right now is like a great windstorm, just like the windstorm in Mark 5:37, that arose and the waves that beat into the boat. Father, the spiritual windstorm is beating at every angle of our marriage. But Lord, just as You arose and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “peace, be still”, we speak to the windstorm of our marriage, and declare that “peace, be still” in Jesus Name. Father, by faith, the wind shall cease and there will be a great calm over our marriage in Jesus NameMark 4:35-39 praying for that you may be your husbands peace during his windstorm also that the Lord will bring you peace and you find him the center of your marriage so that he maybe the foundation your home is set upon.

Prayer for a Troubled Marriage

O St. Rita,
Help us understand that the vocation to marriage
is not only a matter of attraction.

Enable us to see clearly that it is also a matter of finding,
in ordinary events, God’s will for us and then accepting it
– even if it seems to be baffling and contrary to our wishes.

Teach unhappy spouses the power of patience and
mildness. Let them not give way to discouragement but,
like You, let them save both the happiness of their home
and the soul of their spouse.

In Jesus’ name, amen.
