Prayers of support for you and your wife. Asking for outside help is admirable, it shows your committment to each other to work things out. My best to both of you.

Prayers up, and best wishes for success. Der Prinz and I have been through some *stuff* over 23 years, but still hanging in. It’s not easy, but it’s the right thing to do.

You have my prayers for a successful reconciliation. Remember there were a lot of very good reasons that you two got married in the first place. Try to recapture them. I have been down the other road and it’s not fun.

I prayed for you and your wife, Bob. I prayed you both focus solely on God and the grace of Jesus Christ, not yourselves or each other.

I believe sometimes (many times) we put the other people in our lives in God’s place, hoping they will fulfill us only where God can, and inevitably, they let us down.

Look up, not over, and He will resolve your issues.

Prayers for you and your wife. May the Lord give the two of you an open mind, forgiveness and compassion. May He bring forth the memories of good times and surround you in strength. May He eliminate any strife, anger or hurt feelings. Amen.

You have my prayers and my family’s prayers. Good thoughts going your way!

You can ask God to save your marriage and know with confidence the it is His will for your lives. No matter how bad your relationship is, God can restore that love and respect that was your first love.

Are you a born again Christian? If not then I suggest that you read the Book of John.

I live in Tn., so we have a kindred spirit. You will be in my prayers.

Praying you and your wife will come to see each other through the Lord’s eyes and that your joy will be restored.

Matthew 22:37-39 “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. A second the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.”

I'm glad to hear that you're willing to fight for it.

My wife and I are both on our second marriage - we were both widowed. Our normal way of interacting is based upon what we can do to make our partner happy. In my case I bring her flowers on (almost) a weekly basis. Every time I see something that catches her eye, I go out of my way to get it for her. We're in our mid-sixties and we have a wonderful sex life.....because we really love each other and are more considerate of our mate than we are selfish for ourselves. All the foregoing only works if both sides play it the same way.

Good luck.

Praying! Been there, done that. Still married after 26 years. God’s grace is sufficient to help you both get through.
