Hi everyone

My wife is really struggling emotionally lately. We are currently a part of a married couples group and I can’t say it’s been going very well. Last night after we left she asked me a question and I didn’t know what to say, so I said I don’t know. She immediately became incredibly resentful and angry. She became so emotional over what I said that we’ve only spoken a few words to each other since then. Please pray she finds peace over this, I can tell it’s eating her alive. Thanks and goodnight.

It sounds like all you want is prayer for your wife, rather than an answer to her question which you say you could not answer, which would give her the peace of mind she is seeking.

Yes, prayer for my wife is what I asked for..... in this prayer forum.

I pray for you both,
Dear Father bless and protect this couple.
Fill their hearts and minds with a desire to know more of you. As they read the Bible and pray every day, grant them the rich experience of knowing you with real certainty and clear understanding in Jesus precious name.

You're asking us to pray for how your wife responds to your communication, hmmm.

I very clearly see the compassion and love you display for your wife, but praying for how she responds to your communication doesn't sit right with me


You've made the assumption that nothing is wrong with your communication

You express that the ONLY problem is her response

Something about that doesn't sit right with me

I don't mean to offend, but sometimes we have to be thoughtful about our communication.

I heard a pastor say in regards to communication, there's a difference between being right, and being righteous

For all I know She may be in the wrong, but you need to see things from her point of view.

You have to show an interest in her point of view

I just don't feel that's happening with what you said


Look I don't mean to step into what's not my business, but since you posted this i thought i'd share my thoughts

If i said anything that upset you i'm sorry, this is such a sensitive area, I promise you I'm trying to be helpful

I pray God's love works through you and your wife

God Bless

P.S. Sometimes when people say things to me that are emotionally loaded, I too get at a loss for words. I think of brilliant things to say later, though! It seems that your wife is feeling stressed out and so whatever you might have said may or may not have helped anyway.

Heavenly Father I pray for the doors of communication to be opened between this one and his wife.. I pray that You will help the poster to think of what was asked of him so he could respond to his wife in a way that would soften the hurt that his wife feels, In Jesus Name, Amen

Whether you are right or wrong, the fact remains your wife is still hurting, and needs to be relieved of that hurt, so talk it over. God's best to both of you.
