Im not a religious guy, more spirtual. But Ive been arguing with my wife of 5 years for last 4 years.. We had a lot thrown at us. Wife got laid off, took her 92yr old dad in our house, had a amazing son (soon to be 4), while takign care of her father her mother and brother turned against her (jerry springer style). Then wifes mother passes. I believe my wife has always struggled with alcohol, but this year found her smuggling bottles in and out along with smoking again and large amounts of redbull. All behind my back. Ive been work hard for years now trying to reach her but she has 30' walls up and angry. She never understands me are why I do things she just takes them as controlling or attacks. There so much going on I could write a book. Im strugglign with deep depression and working with professional help to help me. My temper-mouth has been an issue, just been absolutely frustrated talking to a wall. My wife clings to all her old unhealthy friends and neighbors that pity her. Im love my family with all my heart and unfortunately we have started the divorce process. She is still in complete denial about the effect her drinking has had and blames my anger. Ive never shown my anger outside of just be frustrated... how do you reach someone who has been talking smack to everyone that will listen (pity) to save ones marraige. She is being down right nasty and has been really for awhile. But I really feel she is just in so much pain and I want to help her

Sigh.........i love my family and miss is so

Dear Heavenly Father,
I pray for this couple that each may see their own faults and issues. I pray Lord for the wife who appears to be trying to sooth her internal pain in ways that are unhealty for her and her family. I pray for the husband that he could be quick to listen and slow to speak so that he may not act out of anger. While we think situations are hopeless Lord we know that you can heal all. I have been witness to couples whose marriage has been restored because they were able to get past the bitterness and see their own faults. Lord I pray the husband would have a gentle spirit that would lovingly pull his wife back to him if that is within Your will. Father I pray for Your help, I pray for Your mercy, and I pray for Your loving grace to be upon them.

In the sweet loving name of Jesus,
Amen
