I don't ask for prayers much, usually I find that God gives me what I need from my own prayer. But I'm struggling with this one. My wife stays frustrated with me. I make a lot of mistakes, but I try to be a good, loving faithful husband. To be perfectly honest I don't always know or understand why she's frustrated with me. It's almost like she just doesn't like me anymore. I am making a concerted effort to show her that I care for and love her, but it doesn't seem to be working.

I thought some prayers on top of mine couldn't hurt. Bless you.

Thank you. I had a wonderful weekend with my wife, purely through the Grace of God. I believe my path is set for renewal. I believe with all my heart that He is in control now, and I am bowing before his will. Prayer works, there is no doubt!

Aside from things that need not be shared, what are you doing that you believe shows your wife that you love her?
A wife's discontentment can stem from many issues including harbored bitterness, guilt, fear, and anger. What may seem like enough to you may actually seem a drop in the bucket compared to the negativity she deals with internally every day. Ever taken care of a baby and noticed that they cry a lot, and not always for sensible reasons? :) Perhaps what is needed is actually a confrontation of the true problem... what is in your wife's mind and heart. Love her, cherish, her, and occasionally baby her... but learn when to say, "I love you and will always be here, but can you please just talk to me about what is wrong?" Perhaps the problem isn't that she recognizes your love. Perhaps it's that she is dealing with an inner turmoil that turns her focus away from you and God and onto herself and her stormy heart. (speaking from experience it was called projection)
