Nakia Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 My marriage is in trouble. We have never been in this place before, but it's been going on for about six months now, and it's scary. I don't have anyone IRL to talk to about it really, but I would love your prayers. Thank you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonshineLearner Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 :grouphug: Sorry to hear that. Prayers for you and your husband. Perhaps God will place... or help you seek some wise mentors. Marriage is like a life long job, hard work, and even harder to be happy with. At least for those I know.:grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liz CA Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I would make an appointment with a counselor even if you were the only one going. It can make so much of a difference! You need someone IRL to speak to and it needs to be someone objective and trustworthy - and preferably not a family member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you sense God moving soon, and experience His peace today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2abcd Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I'm praying for you, Nakia. Feel free to email if it would help to have an online friend who cares. Focus on the Family offers some free support. Maybe talking to someone there would help. They have this on their website: Need family help?

PollyOR Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Nakia, I'm certainly sorry to hear that you are struggling. We've recently been through some tough times ourselves :ack2:. Things get quite bad for us when DH's depression (anger & irritability) flares. He is on medication for life, yet a couple of times a year he has what I call "male PMS" which lasts for about two weeks. I try to be patient and wait it out but sometimes it just stinks! IMO, the two toughest jobs in this world are being a parent and being married. I'll be praying for you and your DH that you can pull through this time and come out even stronger.

JVA Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Ditto on the advice to TRY to talk to someone- even if you're the only one going. Many large churches have counseling ministries that charge on a sliding scale. Focus on the Family is a great place to call for references for Christian counselors - BTDT. I will be praying that you will be encouraged and that hope can be restored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
