I am new to this and was directed here by my wife. (She actually recommended the daily devotionals) I desperately need and desire your prayers for both me and my marriage. My wife and I have been married 15 months. When I came home from work early Sunday morning I found that my wife had left. I just heard from her today (Monday). I have not ever physically abused my wife, but I know that I have emotionally abused her. I had a difficult childhood and teenage years. My father was an alcoholic and my mother disowned me at four. I say this not to make an excuse for my behavior but to say that I really haven't been shown what I'm expected of in my marriage. I have a problem with PRIDE, SELFISHNESS, and STUBBORNESS. I shut down and tune out my wife and that is NOT acceptable. I have neglected her and my relationship to Christ. Having Robin leave has broken my heart and spirit to the core. I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior as a boy. I know the main reason things have come to this is because I have not been the Godly husband I am expected to be. I've allowed evil to work it's way into my life and be unchecked. I believe in the power of prayer and the Holy Spirit and this event has drawn me so much closer Him. I am willing to change the things I need to in order to make this work. I have expressed to God and Robin my sorrow for all the terrible things I said and did and asked for forgivenness. She told me that she needed time to herself and told me she loved me. I know it is not God's will for Robin and I to be apart, and I know that without HIS help I am nothing and will not succeed. So with this in mind will you please lift me up in prayer. Lift up my wife Robin, and lift up this marriage.

Thank you for the prayers that I know you will offer on behalf of us,

Timothy

Lord, I lift this marriage up to you this evening and in the day, weeks and months to come. Touch their hearts and help them to build a marriage on the foundation of your son, Jesus Christ. Bring people and counselors into their lives that will help them heal the hurts, help them desire you in their lives each day and help them to build a long and lasting marriage.

Counseling is a must individually and as a couple. Separate counselors in each case. The survival of your marriage depends on it. I pray you will get the help you need.
