I would like to submit a prayer request for my family. I am a US military
member and have been deployed for over 9 months in a 12 month deployment to
Iraq. My wife and I have been married 5 years and have two children (15 year
old step-son and a 4 year old son with autism). About 12 months ago my wife
said she was not happy and wanted a divorce. I love my wife deeply, am
committed and faithful to her and our boys and begged her to stay. Things
improved over the first 4 months of the deployment but digressed as I found
things that I shouldn't have found which led to my questioning of her love,
commitment and faithfulness. The Lord allowed forgiveness and reconciliation
to take place before my return home for 2 weeks of leave with my family. Our
time home was much better than expected and gave me much hope for our
future. But about 3 days ago, my wife said once again that she is not happy
with me and doesn't want to be married. She said that she doesn't see
herself as my wife or me as her husband. She said she'd rather be without me
as she would be happier even if it means the dissolving of our marriage and
breakup of our family. She is also threatening to take the boys from me. I'm
crushed, fearful of the future and still love my wife and boys so deeply. I
have faith that this is all part of God's plan, but I'm so fearful of the
future and am begging for a miracle in our relationship and do not want to
be without our children. My heart's desire is to be a faithful, loving and
committed husband and father. Please pray for our relationship, for
discernment, strength, wisdom, peace and reconciliation of our marriage and
family. Thank you and God bless you.
