I need prayers for my marriage please. My husband and I were married in the Catholic Church almost 10 years ago. We have two young children. We are having problems and have been in couples therapy for about a year, which I believe has made great improvements in our issues (which are small on the greater scheme of life). There are no affairs, no abuse, no addictions, etc. Just daily conflict which he cannot tolerate. Whenever we get in a fight, no matter how small, he says he wants to separate. He says things to the effect of... he needs space to find himself, etc. or to clear his head and decide. Decide what? It scares me very much. Is this a mid-life crisis or has he been wanting a divorce and trying to figure out how to get away. He says we are just not compatible, which I believe to be very untrue. I will do anything to save my marriage. He says he loves me but he's not sure he's "in love" with me. This breaks my heart into a million pieces. I am trying to hard to keep our marriage together and now the more I do/try the further he distances himself. So I have decided to give him some breathing room (which also scares me) and just pray and pray (and cry). I am at the mercy of God's will here but I just know in my heart that keeping my family together is the right thing and that there is love between my husband and I which he is having trouble seeing for whatever reason. We made a vow before God which is meaningful to me, but now my husband is saying he doesn't even know if he believes in God.
PLEASE everyone, pray for our marriage, and our love to be renewed.
