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.
I have prayed.
If you're having trouble discussing this then perhaps you could try to write her a letter. Write to the caring woman you love and speak only of how the world is making you feel and your fears for the well being of the family. Be careful not to accuse anyone of anything. Be loving and vulnerable and let her know. Take a few days to think about exactly what you want to say.
If the letter doesn't spark a discussion, ask her to write you a letter or just tell you how she feels.
Just a suggestion.
You may not be able to change her view of the world, but you may be able to reach a compromise.
thank you, good idea. I will see if I can write such a letter. I have teied before but have not worded them well.
I would just like to add, be loving and kind. You are to love her as Christ loves the church. Marriages are complicated because there are two sinners in it. It is so worth the work to heal it though. You’re supposed to lift each other up. No bad mouthing one another to the kids, family, friends or co workers. Do things for her that she wouldn’t expect but is thoughtful. Make her tea or coffee in the morning. Little things mean a LOT. Mostly, however, you have the right idea. Prayer and being in the word is paramount. Praying for your family and may God bless you all.
