Rebuild our Marriage

Rebuild our Marriage

by Steve

My wife of 21 years decided 6-months ago that she wanted a separation. The kids had all gone off to college and she said that she wasn't happy. She had a male friend that had been paying her a great deal of attention and they had begun an emotional, not physical according to her, relationship.

We separated and then about 2 months after the separation we were drawn back together. We had both made some changes and things were starting to go really well. The other man was out of her life and we were making some strides towards rebuilding our marriage. Although rocky we were both trying.

Then two weeks ago my wife called me out of the blue and said that she still wasn't happy. And that she no longer wanted to try. She had tried for a couple of months and she just wasn't happy. She also told me that she had been in contact with the other man for approximately the last couple of weeks and that she thinks she still has feelings for him.

I ask that you pray for both of us. Pray that my wife will see the good in our relationship and work to restore our marriage. And pray that when she does I can be the husband God wants me to be.

Thank you

My heart goes out to you in this difficult time. It sounds like your wife is very confused. The distraction of a third person makes it very difficult for your wife to make a sound and real decision. Trust that God will help her see clearly. I pray that you find strength and patience. Time will heal all.

I will pray for you

I will keep you and your wife in my prayers. What you're going through is difficult and I think, happens more than people know.

It sounds like your wife still loves you but is torn between her feelings for you and the other man. Perhaps, too, she is feeling the "empty nest" syndrome that affects many women and men. This causes psychological problems and when this happens, the person feels "hyper"--wondering what to do next.

Also, she could be going through a mid-life crisis--anxious about how the rest of her life will go, or what she should do...

Perhaps counseling might help your wife; help her to get back on track--to see what is most important in her life--and that would be her marriage.

Hold fast to your faith in God, yourself and in your wife. Keep doing positive things for yourself and family and keep praying to God for help and guidance.

I hope your wife returns and that your life will continue on, even better.

Don't give up! Good results could soon be coming your way..
