Prayer for my family
« on: February 19, 2010, 04:22:07 PM »
It absolutely breaks my heart to ask this, but I need prayers for my family.

Apparently my wife and I are having some issues that need to be worked out. I ask nothing for myself, but rather prayers for my wife to find the correct path and prayers for my children who, thankfully, are too young to know what is going on. I want my children to grow up in a loving household, raised by both parents together.

Since I need to work on things here at home I won't be spending much time on the forum. I probably won't post much (big loss  ;) ) but will check in occasionally, most likely weekend nights.

Any and all prayers will be greatly appreciated.

Consider it done.

I'll add that I've been in your shoes, worked through the problems and we've been together now for 26 years.  It's work but no one said life would be easy.

All the best Brett....good luck!

Your family and you have them, Brett.

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

Prayers and best wishes.

best of luck to the both of you



every couple  has problems  I have found getting through them is what makes the relationship stronger

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

No need to feel bad about asking for prayers for anyone including yourself...that is one of the reasons this thread and this great group of people are here!  We understand when family hurts, we hurt also and when family laughs we laugh also.

God Bless,

Richard

1911 Junkie, please accept my prayer, as I ask God to do as well, Your sit rep, is taxing, not knowing how things play from now on, but know you have support from us here, had it happen to me, and it was a life changer for a long time, How does a woman and a man live together, opposites for a given time, and still remain happy? In my instance, I had to decide, what is my relationship worth, and what am I willing to do to make it work, and that meant in my situation, who is wrong or right, and does it matter?  Sometimes it might not matter, you and the other are not going to reconcile. If you can and still care, do it, if not then get a good lawyer, and be ready for the battle.
But, if you love her, still, after being confronted, get a mediator, and decide your differences, and see if you can come to terms.

My wife and I,  did come to terms, and have been married for 29 years, she is now permanently disabled due to west nile virus, I could say I wish I had just let her leave many years ago, and I wish was in the past, but I have loved her all these years, now I am her keeper, and I don't regret it, although it is very hard.

No good answer Bro.  But do take into consideration, your life with this woman, what is it worth to keep on with her, what are the objections to getting along? Infidelity, on either side of course is just cause, hard situations, like in my case, not so much, and we also take care of her 80 yr old parents that have more problems day to day, that I have come to grips with, I could be vain and leave, but will not, they have treated and loved me well these last 30 years, how can I not help them?

Not going to tell you what to do, just ask you to decide if the relationship, in your opinion is worth working for, it was in mine.

Thank you all.

They say prayers are powerful and I think this is going to put that to the test.

God has a plan and I have to have faith in that he knows what he is doing.

No matter what, I will still have two wonderful, beautiful kids to fill my life with joy.

Thanks again,
Brett

Brett, prayers are just a start, but you got them from me. I have been exactly where you are, and know how hard it is. It all seems so easy to be married, but it is certainly not, even to this day.

I pray for the best for you and your family.  It takes actual work to stay married, and I hope and pray you both find a way to remain so. Please contact any of us if you ever need anything.
