Pls pray for my husband to stop showing favoritism toward his kids over mine. It's very painful for my kids and for me, and it's creating resentment. Pls pray his heart will soften toward the 3 of us, and that he'll freely show all 3 of us the love we all deserve. He's been their stepdad for 11 years (they're now 22 & 23), so he's had a big impact in their lives. By all accounts, he has been a blessing in our lives, but the 3 of us are definitely seeing a shift (and a more blatant display) in his desire to do only for his children (older than mine and have great jobs). I love him dearly, and pray that the Lord would grip his heart and show him how hurtful his behavior is. In addition to the favoritism toward his over mine, he is also making it very clear to me lately that he prioritizes his children over me. This has only recently become apparent to me. I am left feeling unseen, unworthy and frankly heartbroken. He truly thinks that we have a great marriage (because I'm always encouraging and doing everything for him). I tend to all things around the home, and handle all of the administrative aspects of his very busy business, yet he consistently makes comments about it being "his" money rather than our money together. He makes BIG decisions without involving me when it comes to our personal finances, and then just tells me about it once the decision has been made. Even our close friends have begun to notice it. Please pray that his behavior would stop effecting me so much. I'm feeling very down and sad about the place we've arrived, and I know only the Lord can fix it.
