I wish to request prayers for my wife, that God can remove the fears and resentments that are blocking her from committing to our marriage.<p>We have been separated for 17 months and have been in marriage counseling the last 5. She is wanting to pull away, feeling it is hopeless.<p>I know she is hurt and has not dealt with many issues from her past. She feels the men she hads loved has hurt and left her.<p>I could use prayers as well for renewed strength to keep believing that this I am following the word of God, to keep championing this marriage.<p>I am not ready to give up, but she appears to be.<p>All prayers and support is appreciated.<p>Thanks,
EagleScout

Eaglescout,<p>I'm in a very similar situation as yours. I hurt my husband (with verbal abuse) and he is having a difficult time bringing down the wall that he built up. Not only that, he's not sure if he wants to bring down that wall.<p>I'm truly scared...I love him with all my heart and don't want to lose my marriage.<p>I'll pray for you.

Eaglescout, continue to press on and be patient with her. It isnt you. She is haunted by her past and it affects her life now. My W destroyed her life cause of the past. Marriage counseling opened her eyes to things she didnt want to see and she walked away from it. That was 5 years ago. Continue to be as much as a support as you can to your W. Someday she will appreciate it. Ive been seperated for over 3 years now and W came back into my life(still seperated) a year ago for support after she hit bottom. Its a long hard slow road, but continue to press on and God will do the rest.
Dear Lord i lift EagleScouts wife up to you that you would reach her and deliver her of her past and fears.
Give ES the strenth and Love to make it thru this trial.
In Jesus name, Amen
