I just need some prayers for my marriage. Just had a loud long fight with my wife. Some stuff came out that cant be put back in. We have 3 kids masked in school for 1.5 years. I am nearing my precipice. I dont know what to do, she is stuck in the go with the flow it will end soon. I know it wont. Our problems go back further than covid, I can see the societal brainwashimg effecr her, I have pointed out instamces, there is no listening just emotions.
She is Christian, but I dont know how much she looks to God for answers. I pray daily, many days multiple times.
I dont know I am rambling just dont know where to go with this, too many details to discuss, married for over 20 years. Please pray for my family.
Praying for you, fren, and your family.
As a mom and wife, I feel both sides of this. I’m what you would consider hardcore into research and trying to find the answers in these tough situations. I’ve been raging against the commie machine so to speak. My husband’s on the same page but he doesn’t have the time to read and research that I have and I think I drive him a little crazy with it all sometimes. I confronted my child’s school about vaccines, put her in private school to avoid the mask issue, and they all know where we stand.
That being said, it’s exhausting being on fire all the time. Other areas of life suffer. You may be feeling more alone with all this concern that she doesn’t seem as worried about; and she may be feeling scared. Women want and need security. It’s the worst feeling in the world to think our world/our lives are spiraling out of control while you just want to live life, raise your kids and “feel normal”.
None of us signed up for the last two years of this. Most people have major cognitive dissonance. Look at Australia… they are putting people in camps and half the Aussies don’t seem worried about it.
Keep the communication open, let her know you love her and the kids, and honestly the best thing might be a change of pace or scenery for a bit. A weekend away or some fun evenings with the kids without worrying about all the horrors in the world. Some flowers, a date night or just a text in the middle of the day letting her know you’re thinking about her.
God bless friend and hang in there. God will see you through this, and see all of us through this.
