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.
 
May God stretch His hands out towards your situation and renew the joy and happiness between you and your wife. God bless your marriage.

Please pray for my marriage to be put back together. She says she wants a divorce and wants me gone. What does not make sense is my wife has been a Christian since ### years old. She knows the Bible inside and out. Why would she want a divorce???

Please pray for my wife to overcome her problems with anger.  We have been married 10 years and she filed for a divorce the end of August.  I got a lawyer last week to ask the court for a continuance to give more time to prepare for the final hearing, and hopefully for changes to be made in her...
