Hi all,

Some of you may remember that I have posted a couple of times here over the last two years or so, asking for prayers for my marriage. My wife is a cradle Catholic and she doesn’t understand or accept the Church’s teaching on contraception. Now she has decided that she doesn’t want to have any more children. The situation has been creating a lot of strain on our relationship. I have made it clear that I cannot be a party to the use of contraceptives or sterilization. She says that abstaining from marital relations (which we have been doing) is too hard on our relationship and she accuses me of being too “rigid” and not being willing to compromise. I tried to explain to her the Church’s vision of the unity of the two aspects of the marital act, but it means nothing to her.

I am afraid and discouraged right now, I don’t know how to keep my marriage healthy any more. We have three kids whom we both adore, and that is forcing us to keep working at it, but it is really hard. I would appreciate everyone’s prayers.

Sorry I haven’t been posting on the forums lately, my job situation changed last fall and I have very little spare time these days. God bless everyone.
 
My heart hurt when I read this, you will e in my prayers.
Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto 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.
 
You will be included in my daily Rosaries. May Mary help you and your wife.
 
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

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.
