I'm just really at a low point in hope for my marriage. I've read E. Leseur's books, but our stories are too different to compare. My dh was a devout Catholic when I married him; he is now strongly agnostic. I have to "monitor" him with our young children, because he doesn't care if they see movies rated R for violence. He's otherwise a decent dad, but he just really doesn't like ME anymore, doesn't want to spend any time together at all, he's rude, critical, and yells at me a lot (when he's not ignoring me.)
And to everyone else in the world who knows us, this would all come as a surprise, because we hide it all. I was completely convinced that marrying him was what God wanted me to do, but now it all seems like a huge mistake.
Please pray for our marriage. Thank you.

Putting this out there in the hopes that maybe this book will help you the way it has helped me to better understand how God is at work in our daily lives, particularly in the "crosses".
Trustful Surrender to Divine Providence
I will be praying for you and your husband. May God give you guidance and strength.

What an enormous and heavy Cross this sounds like. My heart hurts for you, but I know Our Lord is pleased with your desire to bring your family to Him, and I know He is holding your family close to Him, offering you every Mercy!
I am praying and begging dear St. Monica to assist you, fortify you, and intercede on behalf of your family, and I enclose your family in the most Sacred Heart of Jesus. God's tender consolation be yours.

Wow....my first thought was that he obviously doesn't like himself right now and his natural reaction is to take it out on you....What are his stressors and have those increased recently - is there anything you can do to help eliminate or lessen them?
I'm just trying to brainstorm and I hope I haven't overstepped.
You've got our prayers!

I am praying now for strength and wisdom for you and repentance for your husband...I strongly agree that Trustful Surrender might be an excellent book. It has always helped me to accept difficult circumstances in my life as coming from the hand of a loving Father.
